Real time, 1 RU, quick starting, embedded Linux® based, remotely manageable, auto detection of SD or HD, H.264/AVC Encoder and Multi Stream Transcoder relying on a HDMI input card and a "minimal" Linux® kernel (residing in a flash memory device) that is Highly Ruggedized and Task Optimized, coupled to a friendly GUI that can be run from anywhere. The MultiStreamer HDMI/IP™ runs on an Asus® high performance motherboard with an advanced Intel® Xeon® 4 Core processor. Multiple IP Transport Streams support most any industry standard "protocols" like UDP or RTP and “Wrappers” such as HLS, RTMP, RTSP, etc. Audio output is AAC, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG-1 Layer II, optional MP3, and/or optional “SurCode for Dolby Digital” AC-3.We encode the primary stream to HD, SD, or sub SD resolutions at .1 to 15 Mbps at most any GOP size, frame rate, refresh rate, or aspect ratio. As mentioned we can simultaneously create high, medium, and low bitrate streams to hand off appropriately scaled streams to your content delivery networks (CDNs) with required authentication, for "One to Many" distribution.
