Part #: 531600000
- Live H.264/H.265(HEVC) streaming and recording at bitrates up to 32Mbps
- Encode up to 4K (4096x2160) at 30fps from 3G/6G-SDI input
- NDI® HX2 and NDI® HX3 encoding for AV-over-IP and IP-based production
- Simultaneous multi-protocol streaming (SRT, RTMPS, HLS and more)
- Record to internal storage, USB drive, or network storage
Ideal for applications ranging from live streaming and multi-site distribution to AV over IP, Magewell’s compact Ultra Encode SDI Plus combines exceptional encoding and delivery flexibility with simultaneous multi-protocol streaming, file-based recording, NDI® HX3 support, 4K encoding at 30 frames per second, Power over Ethernet support, and advanced features for live production.
Ultra Encode SDI Plus fits perfectly in the middle of Magewell’s growing Ultra Encode product line, offering the higher bitrates, expanded formats, recording capabilities and multi-protocol simultaneous streaming of the flagship Ultra Encode AIO but in the compact, camera-mountable form factor of base Ultra Encode models.
Ultra Encode SDI Plus supports multiple video encoding formats – including H.264, H.265 (HEVC), NDI® HX 2, and NDI® HX 3 – and a wide array of delivery protocols including RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, RTP, HLS, and TVU’s ISSP technology.
Video can be encoded at resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 30 frames per second at bitrates up to 32Mbps (62Mbps for NDI HX3), while up to eight channels of audio can be encoded in AAC format. Configurable presets enable easy streaming to YouTube® Live (via RTMP or HLS), Facebook® Live, Twitch®, the Wowza Video platform (via RTMP or SRT) or custom targets. Ultra Encode Plus models can stream to up to six different target destinations simultaneously, including the ability to stream concurrently in multiple protocols. Inputs can also be recorded as files the device’s internal storage, an external USB-connected drive, or networked storage.
Ultra Encode Plus devices can be configured, monitored, and controlled through an intuitive, browser-based web interface, with centralized remote management and control of multiple units available through Magewell’s optional Control Hub software. HTTP-based APIs are available for systems integrators and third-party developers to incorporate Ultra Encode Plus into their solutions.
