 MediaHawk 3000

 
 
   
  The MediaHawk 2000 spans the streaming media spectrum with comprehensive network transport and connectivity options for both hybrid fiber coax (HFC) and digital subscriber line (DSL) networks including high-bandwidth fiber trunks and IP streaming. With two package options: mini-rackmount chassis and scalable rackmount chassis, the MediaHawk 2000 is compact and completely scalable to accommodate system growth, while the optimized system design achieves low cost per stream.

Concurrent’s MediaHawk 2000 supports fault-tolerant system configurations. The MediaHawk family is based on the same fault-tolerant technology used in critical real-time applications where the consequences for failure are unacceptable, providing continuous operation and reliability for even the most demanding digital media application.

The MediaHawk offers open application program interfaces (APIs) and complete documentation to facilitate system integration of end-to-end system solutions. The MediaHawk has been integrated into digital video to the home, education, hospitality, and other digital media delivery solutions by a strong base of industry leading companies.
