Product Overview
Product Description
The PEC 1864 is a versatile, compact SDI/HDMI H.264 streamer and recorder designed for
a wide range of applications in the broadcast, film and pro A/V industry.
The module can be configured to stream, record or to do both simultaneously. The
streamer and recorder have independent encoders allowing for separate configuration of
streaming and recording. Each encoder includes an up/down/cross converter, region of
interest scaler and a text overlay feature.
Two channels of audio are de-embedded from the video input. In addition, the PEC 1864
has a line audio input and either one of these audio sources can be used for the streamer
and/or recorder.
Users can insert a logo into the video signal stream, which can be positioned anywhere in
the image. Also, in the event of an input failure a user defined image can be used.
The PEC 1864 supports a wide range of streaming standards as well as unicast and
multicast modes of operation. Whether you are streaming live to a Content Delivery
Network using RTMP, viewing the stream on one or more computers using RTP/RTSP
unicast or multicast, or streaming to a dedicated decoder or multicast address using TS
over UDP or RTP, the PEC 1864 is a powerful device ideal for a diverse range of
applications.
The PEC 1864 is ideal for live event streaming, webcasts, corporate or enterprise
streaming, presentation and conferencing, AV system monitoring, house of worship
proceedings streaming and many more applications.
The module has an intuitive Web-based user interface used for control, set up and
configuration from a PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone.
