Multi-Channel H.264 Encoder for Live Streaming
H.264 live streaming encoder with more video, audio and signal format management than any other product on the market.
Overview
PESA’s XSTREAM C58 High Definition Multiport IP Streaming System is a versatile platform for high definition video processing, audio processing and multi-port IP streaming. It provides six independent video and audio processing channels, one of which is dedicated to producing a quadview video output composed of any four user-selected source signals from the other five processing channels.
Each processing channel offers video and audio input interface through rear panel connectors in various signal formats at resolutions up to 1080p/60. H.264 video and AAC audio encoder functions associated with each channel broadcast an IP output stream of the selected A/V sources, and a decoder function extracts video and audio from an incoming IP stream that can be chosen as input sources for the encoder. The C58 allows up to six simultaneous IP output streams.
An independent audio mixer function provided for each processing channel allows the primary audio paired with the input video source to be blended or replaced with a user-selected source of local auxiliary audio.
