Enhanced Connectivity with Multi-Hop Routing

The MPU5 leverages Persistent Systems’ proprietary Wave Relay MANET routing technology,facilitating multi-hop IP connectivity among various MPU5 units. This innovative feature not only extends the operational range but also simplifies the deployment process. By utilizing additional MPU5 units as wireless extensions, users can conduct news gathering in previously inaccessible areas that single-hop transmission systems could not reach. Moreover,the MPU5 is equipped with integrated push-to-talk voice functionality,ensuring that camera operators maintain constant dialogue with the studio.

Advanced Video Streaming Capabilities

Equipped with a 3G-SDI input, the MPU5 can encode and stream HD video at resolutions of up to 1080p30 or 720p60. It utilizes H.264 encoding within an MPEG-TS stream, supporting both UDP and RTP protocols with options for Unicast and Multicast. Additionally, the device features a 10/100 Ethernet port, allowing direct connections to cameras that have their own encoding and streaming capabilities. Designed for versatility, the MPU5 is camera-mountable and comes with a 12-hour battery, ensuring uninterrupted operation throughout the day.

modular Design for future-Proofing

The MPU5’s modular radio architecture offers users the ability to swiftly and easily install RF modules for both ISM and licensed frequency bands. This adaptability not only provides significant flexibility but also safeguards user investments as global spectrum regulations continue to evolve.
