The Cobalt® 9990-ENC-H264-IP HD/SD-SDI/CVBS H.264 Encoder with Streaming IP Output provides a card-based solution for distribution of MPEG-4 encoding. The encoder is designed specifically for distribution, with cost savings of offering only streaming IP instead of IP and DVB-ASI which is not needed for distribution. The 9990-ENC-H264-IP is perfectly suited for IP video distribution over the Internet or over a dedicated IP link. Utilizing the openGear® open-architecture platform, the 9990-ENC-H264-IP offers easy-to-use DashBoard™ setup and control operator interface. Up to 10 of the cards can be installed in a 20-slot frame, using less than 150W total, for reduced operating expenses. In addition to HD/SD-SDI inputs, the 9990-ENC-H264-IP provides the flexibility of supporting SD analog composite video and an analog audio stereo pair per input channel.
The 9990-ENC-H264-IP offers the latest advances in video compression that delivers excellent video quality at very low bit rates. Unique encoding designs allow delivery of multiple HD and SD video services simultaneously. The 9990-ENC-H264-IP provides two Ethernet outputs, supporting full-duplex 100 Mb/s and 1 Gb/s operation. Input video auto-detect mode allows encoding to automatically configure an output that correspond to the input, with resolution and frame rate same as input, and scaling set to same as input or other applicable choices. SMPTE-2038 processing allows inserting generic ancillary data packets in the transport stream, with frame accuracy. Up to four DID/SDID pairs can be supported.
Using HTTP Live Streaming, the 9990-ENC-H264-IP can transmit broadcast-quality video to mobile phones (Apple and Android 4.0 supported) and tablets.
Full user remote monitor/control allows full card status and control access across a standard Ethernet network. Status monitoring is also available at card edge.
The 9990-ENC-H264-IP is also available in stand-alone form factor BBG-1190-ENC-H264-IP.
Key Features
Card-based design allows scalability, from 1 channel to 20 channels per frame
Input video auto-detect mode automatically configures output to correspond to input frame rate and scaling or convert formats using built-in UDX scaler
Low power/high-density design
Full support of CEA-608 and CEA-708 closed captioning. Closed-captioning filtering allows filtering to allow and use only SMPTE-334M and/or CEA-708 closed captioning.
