Multichannel IP transcoder and streamer (up to 1080p/i) features TELCO quality, highly reliable, 4RU, 19" wide, 1-10 10 Core Intel® Xeon® CPU blade based real time, multi definition, with ability to Transcode 400 SD streams from MPEG-2 to H.264 or H.264 to MPEG-2 with most popular wrappers and containers. Based on Embedded Linux® Running on 10 Blades with 16 Intel® Xeon® Cores each. It boots quickly from flash drive and remembers all settings. Easy to use GUI allows full config of each stream and via SNMP. Can report its status to remote network operations. For 10 blades typical real time transcodes benchmarks include 400 SD streams or 160 720p60 streams or 100 1080p/i stream profiles. Supports flash, HLS, RTMP, HTTP, smooth and live streaming and works well with Wowza®, Adobe® Flash® and RealNetworks® Servers. A single blade system transcodes 10 HD (1080i/p) streams. Ideal device for replicating low, medium and high bit rate streams inside ISP's and CDN's. SDK available for CDN's who wish to offer transcode management via "Their" application. Also comes in dual blade 1 RU to provide 24 cores.
