Streamlined, top-quality live streaming

StreamZ Live encoders are available with your choice of one of four encoding formats: H.264 (AVC, MPEG-4 Part 10), SMPTE VC-1 (Microsoft Windows Media), Flash 8 Video (On2 VP6), 3GPP/Mobile (H.263, H.264, MPEG-4 Part 2 with AMR, AAC audio) and MPEG-2. An optional module for the H.264 model adds the ability to deliver H.264 in an MPEG-2 Transport Stream to the system’s standard RTP/RTSP elementary stream support.

StreamZ Live’s advanced real-time video pre-processing features include motion adaptive de-interlacing, scaling, filtering and 2D and 3D noise reduction, delivering superior streaming quality and enabling the most efficient use of bandwidth in the compressed result. StreamZ Live also offers hardware-based graphic overlay and video proc amp controls, with 7-band parametric EQ and dynamic range compression/expansion ensuring great-sounding audio.

The integrated Stream Live software provides an operator-friendly interface for configuring StreamZ Live’s top-quality encoding and streaming capabilities. Encoding parameters from frame sizes and bit rates to advanced codec options can be configured, and video and audio pre-processing settings can be interactively adjusted.

Multiple encoding and streaming configuration profiles can be stored, enabling easy recall of parameters for one-click operation. Persistent Streaming mode enables streaming to start automatically upon power-up with the current parameters.

Trusted reliability

StreamZ Live encoders feature robust reliability to meet the unforgiving demands of live streaming. To bolster reliability even further, or for easy multi-encoder management, multiple StreamZ Live encoders can be combined with the scalable Digital Rapids Broadcast Manager software for enterprise-level management, remote control, status monitoring and fault tolerance. Broadcast Manager centralizes management and control of multiple live streaming encoders including scheduling, automated failover and alert notifications.
