The Gearbox 12 Port ASI/IP is an MPEG-2 to H.264 transcoder or transcaler. It receives multiple DVB-ASI transport streams, transcodes them to H.264 or optional H.265, and outputs them to an IP network. Resulting streams can be viewed with standard transport stream compatible set-top boxes, streaming video, smart phones, or software clients such as VLC or JW Player. The Gearbox 12 Port ASI/IP receives transport streams, demultiplexes the requested services and streams these services using UDP, RTP, RTMP, Adaptive, or HTTP via IP networks as either IP multicast or IP unicast streams. The system transcodes individual streams into H.264 format up to a maximum individual bitrate of 15 Mbps.
