MPE-4400
MPEG-2 & H.264/AVC broadcast encoder-streamer for HDMI/SDI sources
Convert up to four HDMI or HD-SDI sources into broadcast-grade MPEG-2 or H.264/AVC transport streams and deliver them with low latency over ASI and IP — ideal for head-ends, corporate and hospitality networks.
Overview
The VIZOBOX MPE-4400 is a professional broadcast-grade encoder-streamer that encodes HDMI and HD-SDI sources in MPEG-2 or H.264/AVC at resolutions up to 1080p60. It outputs one MPTS and four SPTS over UDP/RTP on Gigabit Ethernet as well as two ASI outputs, with selectable low-latency modes and CBR/VBR rate control. Configuration and monitoring are handled via the local LCD/keypad or the built-in web interface, and audio can be encoded in MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC or Dolby Digital AC-3.
