Envivio 4Caster HD3 Live High Definition MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Encoder for Media Transport and IPTV Solutions

Envivio® 4Caster™ HD3 is a live high definition encoding system that produces the highest quality video for broadcast applications. The HD3 encodes both 720p and 1080i HD formats and provides broadcast quality video in a flexible range of bit rates between 2 and 20 Mbps. The real time system can simultaneously output compressed streams via IP and an optional DVB-ASI interface can be used to save MPEG-2 TS and MPEG-4 files to an onboard hard drive for VOD content creation. With better quality levels than MPEG-2 at less than half the bit rates, HD3 is ideal for use in both live and on-demand IPTV and broadcast distribution applications.
