VITEC’s new Fx4 Series Video Wall Controllers  Fx4 Series enables operators to gain a clear, dynamic situational grasp in even the most security-critical applications On show for the first time at DSEI UK is VITEC’s new Fx4 Series Video Wall Controllers, delivering mission-critical visualisation for command and control environments. Designed for maximum flexibility, the stand-alone 4K controllers support HDMI, DisplayPort, and SDI inputs/outputs, and can be interconnected to drive video walls of any scale.  With powerful processing, ultra-high quality video performance, and intuitive configuration, the Fx4 Series enables operators to achieve clear, dynamic situational awareness in even the most demanding defence and security applications. Video wall control solution A further addition to VITEC’s offering at DSEI UK is the VSN-Series, VITEC’s advanced, high-performance video wall control solution.  Designed to accommodate a wide spectrum of video wall requirements, the VSN Series offers a contemporary, compact solution for managing multi-output video walls, featuring robust, high-density, rack-mounted controllers engineered to meet the demands of complex video wall configurations.  VITEC’s PRISM Transcoder VITEC’s PRISM Transcoder will be present on the booth, as VITEC’s high-version, real-time IP video system VITEC’s PRISM Transcoder will be present on the booth, as VITEC’s high-performance, real-time IP video transcoding system. The transcoder is capable of converting both live streams and media files into multiple broadcast-quality H.264 or HEVC outputs using pre-processing tools. It supports a wide array of streaming protocols, offers in-built redundancy and high availability, and preserves critical ISR metadata. Rapid deployment in dynamic environments   VITEC’s DSEI UK line-up is rounded out with the MGW Pico+ TOUGH, the smallest and most power-efficient HEVC/H.264 HD/SD encoder under 400g, delivering high-quality video at low bitrates, and the MGW Diamond TOUGH, a quad-channel HEVC/H.264 encoder with HDR support for low-latency, multi-channel streaming ideal for ISR missions. Also showcased is the compact MGW Diamond-H, a versatile 4K and dual-channel HDMI encoder for real-time ISR video streaming over RF or satellite links, offering screen sharing, advanced stream protection (Zixi, SRT, RIST, Pro-MPEG), and PoE for rapid deployment in dynamic environments. The added optional recording feature allows to never loose content or record mission for later analysis. Visit VITEC at Stand S8-122 at DSEI UK 2025.

VITEC, a prominent player in the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) technology sector, is set to debut its advanced streaming technologies at DSEI Japan 2025, from 21-23 May 2025. This event marks VITEC’s first defence trade show appearance in the region, underscoring its expanding global footprint and commitment to delivering high-performance ISR video solutions worldwide. Located at booth H5-452, VITEC will feature its ruggedised TOUGH encoder family, designed for video acquisition in challenging environments, as well as its MGW Diamond-H, a 4K and Dual-Channel SD/HD HDMI Encoder. Additionally, EZ TV ISR, VITEC’s video content management solution engineered for rapid deployment in the field, will also be demonstrated. High-performance ISR video streaming “We’ve been carefully monitoring the progress of DSEI Japan as well as the Indo-Pacific market overall, and it’s an exciting time to exhibit our latest technologies in the region at this growing show,” states Jamie Hind, APAC Regional Director at VITEC. “VITEC is dedicated to providing dependable, secure, high-performance ISR video streaming solutions designed for the most demanding military settings.” “We look forward to meeting partners and attendees at the event to showcase how our rugged encoders withstand challenging conditions and deliver superior video quality at low bitrates.” MGW Diamond-H MGW Diamond-H also offers screen sharing capabilities to facilitate seamless collaboration At DSEI Japan, VITEC will showcase the MGW Diamond-H, available for streaming Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) video feeds over RF or satellite links, enabling real-time situational awareness and allowing tactical decision-making.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Furthermore, Power over Ethernet (PoE) services streamline deployment by giving both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, resulting in a reduction of the need for additional power sources and making it ideal for rapid, adaptable installation in dynamic field environments. Additionally, the VITEC booth will feature the MGW Pico+ TOUGH, a compact and energy-efficient video encoder for use in both unmanned and manned vehicles across land, sea, or air. It includes a compact, airborne, and marine-certified enclosure, designed to operate in all environmental conditions. Compact and flexible Weighing less than 400 grams, the encoder maintains superior video quality at low bitrates Weighing less than 400 grams, the encoder maintains superior video quality at low bitrates, provides overlay capabilities for timestamping and camera identification, and can adjust its bitrate according to available bandwidth. The MGW Diamond TOUGH, part of the TOUGH family, is a quad-channel encoder for HEVC and H.264 HD/SD. It delivers multi-channel low-latency streaming with High Dynamic Range (HDR), ensuring exceptional video contrast and brightness. The HEVC (H.265) compression decreases network bandwidth usage by up to 50% compared to H.264 standards. It is ideal for ground vehicle missions dedicated to ISR as it allows IP streaming within the vehicle as well as streaming to command & control thanks to HEVC.
