The MediaStar 779 MPEG2/H264/HLS Encoder is a powerful and ultra reliable, solid state "out of the box" solution for all encoding needs and when used in conjunction with the MediaStar DVB-T and DVB-S LAN-casters, will meet your entire IP Television Headend, Digital Signage and Digital Media encoding and IP distribution requirements.

The MediaStar 779 MPEG2/H264/HLS encoder streams live video and audio feeds from cameras, set top boxes and DVD players to distribute news, sport and entertainment directly onto your IP network. The unit is stand-alone, housed in a robust metal case with front panel display and controls and rear panel video inputs. Its unique multi format input circuitry allows users to input content in a wide variety of video and PC formats, HDMI; YPbPr; S-Video and CVBS as well as RGBHV. In addition the 779 has an onboard scaling engine, providing the ability to transcode SD TV inputs to HD resolutions. Each unit can encode an incoming digital or analogue video to an H264 or MPEG2 format at either HD or SD resolution and stream it over an IP network to any PCs using the MediaStar Media Portal (Part 470) or video screens equipped with MediaStar Digital Media Decoder (Part 780). In addition, in HLS mode it can stream to a MediaStar Live Streaming Server (HLS) (Part 469) to serve iOS or Android laptops, tablets and smartphones.
