ranging from live streaming to IPbased
production and AV-over-IP. The
new Ultra Encode AIO builds on the
flexibility of the company's original
Ultra Encode models with expanded
features
including HDMI and SDI
input connectivity in a single unit;
4K encoding and streaming from the
HDMI input; simultaneous multiprotocol
streaming; higher streaming

" The rich feature set and versatility
our Ultra Encode HDMI and
Ultra Encode SDI have made them
very popular with streaming and
production professionals as well as
systems integrators, " said James Liu,
VP of Engineering at Magewell.
" Ultra Encode AIO takes
the
capabilities of its siblings to a whole
new level for advanced professional
use cases, from recording and 4K
encoding to greater flexibility
for
multi-destination streaming. "
Ultra Encode AIO supports multiple
video encoding formats - including
H.264, H.265 (HEVC), NDI®
|HX
and the new NDI®
2,
|HX 3 - and a wide
array of delivery protocols including
RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, RTP, HLS,
and TVU's ISSP technology. Video
can be encoded at resolutions up to
4096x2160 at 30 frames per second
from HDMI sources, or up to 1080p
HD at 60 fps from the device's 3G-SDI
input.
The single-channel Ultra Encode
AIO can encode one live input
source - either HDMI or SDI - or mix
video from the HDMI and SDI inputs
(picture-in-picture or side-by-side)
into a combined output. Video can
be encoded at bitrates up to 32Mbps,
while up to eight channels of audio
can be encoded in AAC format. Two
concurrent
encoding profiles with
distinct combinations of resolution,
frame rate, and bitrate can be
specified, and up to eight userconfigurable
overlays
-
including
text,
images, and a clock - can be
applied to each profile.
Configurable presets enable easy
streaming to YouTube®

to stream
concurrently in multiple protocols.
Inputs
can also be recorded as
files to an SD card, USB-connected
storage device, or networked
storage.
For IP production workflows and
AV-over-IP distribution architectures,
Ultra Encode AIO supports NDI®
|HX
3, the latest version of the highefficiency,
low-bandwidth option in
the popular NDI®
IP media transport
technology platform.
