1. INTRODUCTION
This Video Streaming Recorder makes online broadcasting of live
video, with a locally stored archive, an easy and simple process.
Video sources from cameras, PCs, video game consoles, etc. are a
breeze to connect for immediate broadcast and recording. Video
content up to 4K UHD+ is supported and is automatically scaled to a
resolution that is more appropriate for efcient streaming. In addition
to the standard HDMI input, a VGA input with a paired analog stereo
audio input is also available as a source. An HDMI output is provided
for local monitoring of the selected input source.
All video content is encoded and streamed with minimal latency
and high quality making it ideal for live streaming events to a variety
of popular online streaming services or within the local network. The
video may also be recorded locally (via SD card or USB thumb drive)
or to a local network drive while it is being streamed. An audio mixer
function is included, allowing an external audio source to be mixed
with the embedded audio of your HDMI source (LPCM 2.0 only) for
your video stream.
Comprehensive EDID management provides improved compatibility
with different sink devices. The intuitive WebGUI provides easy control
of your live event stream including source selection, resolution, bitrate
and more. Audio functions include volume level adjustment, mute,
and mixer source selection. This unit can be controlled and congured
via front panel buttons, an intuitive WebGUI, RS-232, or Telnet.
