1. Product Introduction
1.1 General Introduction
The GoStream Mini 200 (GSM 200) is a small form-factor encoder designed for encoding live
video using either advanced HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) Main Profile or H.264
BP/MP/HP video compression up to 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, with CBR
(Constant Bit Rate) & VBR (Variable Bit Rate) support from 64kbps ~ 32Mbps. The single SDI-
3G or HDMI video inputs provide video capture capability in convenient formats for professional
video feeds while the onboard USB 2.0 and gigabit Ethernet ports offer great flexibility in
transporting the compressed video stream through wireless (such as WiFi, LTE, etc.) and
wireline interconnections to remote and cloud side for archiving or further processing. The SD
memory card interface can also be used for local storage. The module also features audio
encoding from either embedded SDI/HDMI audio channels or a separate 3.5mm audio jack
socket.
The encoder is supplied with software that allows for a streamlined workflow from video
acquisition, encoding, streaming to archiving in a hassle-free approach for simplifying system
adoption and integration effort. The well-defined web-based software APIs opens the
possibilities for customization.
With a small physical dimension and low power dissipation characteristics, the GSM 200 can be
easily applied to portable and mobile broadcasting, medical imaging, UAV (Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle) applications, etc. where real-time and high-quality video content needs to be captured
and transported in an efficient way using the latest HEVC compression standard.
