Seamless SDI to IP Conversion:
The Pro Convert SDI Plus Encoder takes your SDI video and embedded audio and transforms it into IP streams that can be delivered over standard IP networks. This eliminates the need for complex cabling and specialized hardware, simplifying your workflow and reducing costs.
High-Quality H.264 and H.265 Encoding:
This encoder supports both H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) encoding, offering exceptional video quality and bandwidth efficiency. H.265 encoding provides superior compression, allowing you to deliver high-resolution video at lower bitrates, ideal for bandwidth-constrained environments.
Professional-Grade SDI Input and Loop-Through:
The device features a professional-grade SDI input and loop-through, ensuring seamless integration with your existing SDI infrastructure. The loop-through allows you to monitor the SDI signal without interrupting the encoding process.
Embedded Audio and Analog Audio Input:
Capture embedded audio signals directly from your SDI source. Additionally, an analog audio input is available for capturing external audio sources. This provides flexibility and accommodates a variety of audio configurations.
Multiple Streaming Protocols Support:
The Pro Convert SDI Plus Encoder supports a wide range of streaming protocols, including RTMP, RTSP, RTP, UDP, and HLS. This versatility ensures compatibility with various streaming platforms and content delivery networks (CDNs).
Web-Based Management Interface:
The device features a user-friendly web-based management interface, allowing you to easily configure and control the encoder from any web browser. This simplifies setup and management, even for users with limited technical expertise.
Compact and Robust Design:
The Pro Convert SDI Plus Encoder is designed for both studio and on-location use. Its compact and robust design ensures reliable performance even in demanding environments.
Power and Network Connectivity:
The device supports both PoE (Power over Ethernet) and DC power, providing flexible power options. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports allow for redundant network connectivity, ensuring uninterrupted streaming.
