Output Resolution is 480i, QCIF, or Any Other Resolution. Destination can be Inexpensive Set-Top Boxes or Our Own T-Ramp™ or D-Streamer™ IP/DIG. Supports 50 Simultaneous HLS Users. With Optional Atlas™ Add-on, Supports 1,000 RTMP, DASH, and/or HLS Users Natively.
Features
Overview
Input format is analog (composite) video and/or audio
Outputs: Multiple transport streams via GigE port (RJ45)
Encodes eight SD inputs to H.264 or optional H.265
Encoding bit rates: .1 to 15 Mbps
Creates simultaneous High, Medium, and Low bitrate streams
Supports closed captioning
Simultaneous demodulation, transcoding, and encapsulation
SNMP, REST, SOAP support for remote management and monitoring
Tested to work with Atlas™, Wowza®, and Adobe® Flash® media servers
Tested compatible with major brands of IP devices including Multiviewers, Amino™, Roku®, Dune HD™, Telergy, Android™, and Apple iPad® and iPhone®
Tested compatible with major brands of professional H.265, H.264, and MPEG-2 decoders and video servers
Audio Input: L+R audio
Audio Output: AAC, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG-1 Layer II, optional MP3, and/or optional “SurCode for Dolby Digital” AC-3
Settings are remembered when power cycled
The Polycoder h/A 8ch IP is an excellent quality H.264 encoder relying on an X.64 engine supporting 4:2:0 visual quality. Resulting streams can be viewed with standard transport stream compatible set-top boxes, or software clients such as VLC or JW Player. The system encodes individual streams up to a maximum of 15 Mbps.
Based on embedded Linux®
Output can be either unicast or multicast.
Remote GUI includes some scheduling
Redundant power supply
H.264 is the latest manifestation of video codecs as they evolved from MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. H.264 is a more advanced codec and uses less than 60% of the bandwidth of MPEG-2 for similar resolution and quality. It is used worldwide for content delivery in newer devices such as iPhones and Androids. The Polycoder h/A 8ch IP is a real time H.264 or optional H.265 encoder designed to capture up to eight analog video and/or audio signals and transform them into IP streams that are best suited for today’s digital environments. It is designed to be scalable, easily adaptable, and field upgradeable to meet the needs of cable and IP network operators who are very comfortable with embedded Linux® based appliances. It relies on an Intel® Xeon® 14 Core CPU for encoding. We have optimized the encoder for reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.
