NetUP Transcoder Server

$ 24,000

The NetUP Transcoder Card can be installed in the standard NetUP Streamer 8x chassis which is a 1U rack-mount device. Four Transcoders installed in the Streamer can process 8 HD (up to 1080i) or 16 SD streams. Here processing means encoding into MPEG-2 or H.264, transcoding from MPEG-2 to H.264 or vice versa, changing pircture resolution, frame rate, etc. The output can be sent to the network as multicast (UDP) or unicast (HTTP) streams.
