Datacasting Video Encoder
MX-400IOAdaptive Bitrate Video Encoder – FlexStream MX-400IO
Datacasting solutions have expanded beyond file delivery to include private streaming video. Doing so requires data protection (encryption), targeting, efficient compression, and a mechanism to optimize video encoding within the ebb and flow of the available datacasting bandwidth. i.e. A mechanism to utilize more bandwidth when available, and less when not. Enter the the FlexStream MX-400IO adaptive bitrate encoder. This device encodes live video and delivers it via VPN to the MX-400SR using a proprietary transport designed specifically for the pitfalls of this type of application. Use this device to capture the output of a video management system (camera control PC), a camera or cameras, DTV broadcast, or nearly any other media that can be presented to the device via IP, HDMI, Component video, Composite Video, or S-Video.
The FlexStream MX-400IO is specially designed for:
- Streaming video datacasting applications
- Capturing video from two HDMI, Component, Composite, S-Video devices
- Capturing video directly from security cameras (RTSP)
- Interface with one or more MX-400SRs
- Low bitrate applications
MX-400IO Benefits
The FlexStream MX solution is best in class because it has:
- Support for a wide variety of video sources
- Adaptive bitrate encoding for optimal bandwidth usage
- Latency sensitive encoding from remote locations
- A built in VPN
- A statically configured, or dynamically controlled via REST API
- Remote management via FlexDM
