Monitoring streaming media encoder. Designed for multiformat video/audio over IP in television facilities, the SME-1901 is a compact H.264 streaming encoder with 3G/HD/SD SDI input and 1x6 SDI distribution amplifier. Two high profile H.264 streams are generated simultaneously from the SDI input. The main high resolution stream is ideal for in-house IPTV applications while the low resolution proxy targets streaming and display within a control system network. Both streams are full frame rate and provide high efficiency compression. It operates with a wide range of decoders, and offers exceptional space and power efficiency with up to 20 dual stream encoders per frame. The SME-1901 is ideal for monitoring of core routers over IP, while also providing "fan-in" and "fan-out" distribution amplification.
