Videon VersaStreamer Video Streaming/Recording System
Videon VersaStreamer Video Streaming/Recording System
The Videon VersaStreamer all-in-one video streaming and recording system provides unparalleled flexibility in simultaneous streaming to multiple platforms and destinations — social media, video sharing sites, a CDN for streaming via a website, or even a local network or display. With multiple simultaneous RTMP outputs, HEVC/H.264 support, MPEG-TS support, and streaming bit rates up to 30 Mbps, as well as recording to a backup USB, VersaStreamer gives the pro AV and broadcast markets the exceptional versatility, robust feature set, and attractive price point ideal for lower-cost 1080p H.264 streaming or for 4K HEVC streaming.
MAGIC ACX Dante™ WAN Bridge
MAGIC ACX Dante™ WAN Bridge
The audio connection for the audio inputs/outputs is provided by the integrated 32-channel Dante™ interface, which has redundant GbE interfaces and of course also supports AES67.
The comfortable operating software allows the management of up to 10 systems including graphic surveillance and can be operated from up to 5 workplaces simultaneously.
The front display of the system also shows essential information on the status of the transmission.
The coding is done via PCM16 / PCM24 / PCM32.
Since the limited maximum latency of Dante in wide area networks, high jitter and possible clock differences between sender and receiver prevent a reliable transmission, the MAGIC ACX Dante™ Wan Bridge solves these problems with a jitter buffer including automatic mode and intelligent sample rate adaption (SRA).
Videon EdgeCaster Edge Compute Encoder
Videon EdgeCaster Edge Compute Encoder
Videon EdgeCaster edge compute encoders enable ultra-low-latency live streaming at an ultra-low cost. Efficiently handling transcoding, format repackaging from RTMP to HLS/DASH, and creation of multiple bit rates at the network edge, EdgeCaster devices bypass a layer of cloud-based processing and, in turn, reduce latency to as little as <4 seconds while cutting the average user’s streaming costs by 50%. The EdgeCaster offers higher performance and a lower fixed cost per stream in addressing the requirements of delay-sensitive video applications, as well as applications with high-volume streaming to limited numbers of viewers per stream.
