1 GENERAL
1.1 Description
EN-264 is a HD Encoder & Transcoder which fully complies with H.264 standard.
Integrated with the TSoIP board, the accepts TS over IP or ASI input for transcoding, or
alternatively accepts HD-SDI, HDMI or YPbPr input for encoding, the final output is
available in IP or ASI format. With extraordinary picture quality and significant
bandwidth liberation, EN-264 is the best choice for higher performance encoding and
migration from MPEG-2 to H.264.
