Professional Grade, Rackmounted, Single or Multichannel, Standard Definition, Linux® Based Analog Video to MPEG-2 Transport Stream Encoder that Integrates Inexpensive PC Bus Based Standard Definition MPEG-2 Encoders and Routes Selected Transport Streams to Any MAC Address via IP – UDP, RTP, RTSP, RTMP, Adaptive, HTTP, HTTP Live, or FTP. Encoder supports 480i and 480p with MPEG-1 layer II audio. Can Work as a Low Cost “Catcher” in Small VOD Implementations. Typically the desired streams are streamed in real time using UDP or RTP via IP multicast or unicast streams to IP set top boxes (STB's) such as Amino, or designated VLC or MPlayer equipped PC clients for viewing. This content server architecture assumes you have proper IP provisioning and this type of system is typically deployed in "closed" systems where bandwidth is dedicated. It is not guaranteed to work over the public internet. Performance depends on available bandwidth.
