Multi-Channel H.264 Encoder and Decoder for Live Streaming
A compact streaming system that can be configured as a two port encoder, a two port decoder, or with one port of each.
Overview
PESA’s XSTREAM C22 is a highly versatile, dual channel H.264 encoder/decoder device for high definition video processing, audio processing and IP streaming. Each processing channel is totally independent from the other and can function as a remote client for decoding an H.264 IP stream or an encoder to webcast an IP output stream from a variety of input signal sources. Each processing channel offers video and audio input and output interface in various signal formats at resolutions up to 1080p/60. The C22 also accepts input from an analog house reference to allow the local output video signals to be sync locked for use in broadcast and other high-end video environments. The optional SFP module enables additional input and output options as well as local signal/format conversion such as coax to fiber, fiber to coax, or fiber to HDMI.
In addition to the encoding and decoding features the PESA XSTREAM C22 also includes local signal/format conversion when needed. When configured to encode and stream out two local inputs, the PESA XSTREAM C22 can also convert those original input sources to different formats/signals to route or display locally.

PESA XSTREAM C22 Compact Streaming System Receives NewBay Media Product Innovation Award
“We are very proud to receive this honor from NewBay Media for what we think is a cost effective solution for a number of markets. The PESA XSTREAM C22 is very versatile because it can be used as a standalone streaming appliance or it can share content between facilities.”
Video Genlock
Video signals can be locked to an external source of sync reference for perfect, “glitch-free” video switching in broadcast and pro AV applications.
Configurable and Flexible I/O
The PESA XSTREAM C22 includes several local ports and optional SFP modules are available to expand the connection options available.
Local Signal/Format Conversion
Local inputs may also be converted into a variety of outputs for local display or for other routing and distribution options.
Configurable and Flexible I/O
Integrated Web Server allowing for full remote capability. No personnel required on site for streaming content to a production facility.
Encode and/or Decode
Configure the PESA XSTREAM C22 to encode two inputs into IP streams, decode two IP streams into local outputs, or do both and select one encode/one decode.
LCD Display
The local display and navigation makes it easy to view configuration information including the IP address assigned to the hardware.
