General Overview
The ATOM–Box is a versatile USB recorder and streaming encoder in a compact form factor. Designed for
multiple AV applications it allows for low cost recording of sport, studio productions, compliance video, and
music on to a USB drive as H.264 encoded MPEG–4 files. These files can be played back on virtually any computer,
mobile device, and modern smart TVs, making this file format an almost universal playback medium.
The ATOM–Box is also a high quality streaming encoder that can stream files to the Internet for others to
view live while also making a recording —it’s one box with two functions! It is fully equipped with a full
range of input interfaces including HD/SD–SDI, DVI, VGA, YUV, AV, and HDMI.
The ATOM–Box is a flexible platform that can be used as a standalone device or rack mounted in a 1RU
chassis when multiple recorders are required. One of its many benefits is that it’s simple to use; insert a
USB drive, press the REC/ STOP button for instant recording, then press it again to stop. For streaming
video and audio, press the STREAM/STOP button for live video over IP. For optimizing recording and
streaming performance, a simple Web UI is available for accessing the ATOM-Box's recording and
streaming parameters.
The use of the H.264 codec ensures high-quality recordings encoded as MPEG–4 files with impressive
video and audio quality for resolutions of up to 1920x1080p/60 with AAC audio bit rates up to 384 kHz
and a sample rate of 48 kHz at 16–bit. The Web UI provides adjustable bit rate, standard or high profile
MPEG–4 or TS, and users can further optimize the TS transport stream signals for streaming such as
TCP/UDP (unicast or multicast), RTSP over HTTP/TCP/UDP in the form of elementary stream, RTMP (local
or publish), and HLS.
