Product Summary
Application
With compression efficiency and advanced pre-processing, the VL4500 Series delivers both HD and SD
content at a low bitrates and uncompromised quality. As a result, the VL4500 Series can be used to
deliver video services across all networks and fulfill multiple applications for various business models.
The VL4500 Series encoders provide cost-effective live streaming of PEG and in-house channels. With
SD/HD simulcast function, the VL4500 allows the broadcaster to stream both SD and HD content from
one source by utilizing the video scaling and conversion functions while utilizing low power
consumption and minimal heat output.
The SFP output interface allows the operator to use either existing duplex or single fiber or 1000B RJ45.
