Easy to Use, Broadcast Quality, Very Low Latency, 1 RU, Standards Compliant, Full 1080i or 1080p, 720p, 15 to 100 Mbps, Standard and High Definition MPEG-2 Encoder with HD-SDI or HDMI In. Simultaneous DVB ASI and IP Out. Full Control via Front Panel LCD and Push Buttons or via a "Browser". Perfect for Broadcast, HD Military Surveillance, HD Sports Origination, HD Movie Previews, ENG Helicopters, HD Video Conferencing, and Other HD Content Creation Purposes Where Low Latency and High Definition is desired. Full Support for G708 CC and Dolby Pass Through Audio.

Professional Grade, Rackmounted, Single or Multichannel, Standard Definition, Linux® Based Analog Video to MPEG-2 Transport Stream Encoder that Integrates Inexpensive PC Bus Based Standard Definition MPEG-2 Encoders and Routes Selected Transport Streams to any MAC Address via UDP, RTP, or HTTP. Encoder supports 480i and 480p with MPEG-1 layer II audio. Can Work as a Low Cost “Catcher” in Small VOD Implementations. Typically the desired streams are streamed in real time using UDP or RTP via IP multicast or unicast streams to IP set top boxes (STB's) such as Amino, or designated VLC or MPlayer equipped PC clients for viewing. Optionally Transcodes into H.264. This content server architecture assumes you have proper IP provisioning and this type of system is typically deployed in "closed" systems where bandwidth is dedicated. It is not designed to work over the public internet.
