4K H.264 Media Encoder

EvertzAV’s EV-ENCS-4K-1 4K H.264 encoder is a live streaming media encoder that interfaces with HDMI signals to deliver media over IP networks. The EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder can be used with EvertzAV’s 4K H.264 EV-DECS-4K-1 decoder (or a third-party decoder) to provide complete end-to-end streaming systems. It features one HDMI input and one Ethernet output for simplified integration into AV systems.

The EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder employs standards-based H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding and MPEG-2 transport streams, and outputs IP streams that can easily be decoded and viewed on EvertzAV’s own EV-DECS-4K-1 decoder or various third-party decoders. The EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder also supports AAC audio encoding technology – technology that allows you to transport high quality audio signals using minimal bandwidth.

The EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder can send media data via multicast or unicast allowing it to operate in many different network environments. Multicast mode saves bandwidth while unicast mode is suitable for common unmanaged switches. Even in networks protected by strict firewalls, the EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder can activate RTP over RTSP mode to send media data without the need for a new UDP port.

To achieve pairing, you simply need to configure the IP address of the EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder. The EV-DECS-4K-1 decoder will negotiate with the EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder and try to obtain the media stream using the most suitable approach. Additionally, the EV-ENCS-4K-1 encoder provides two methods of control: web UI and Telnet API. The web UI enables control through a common web browser while Telnet API enables the devices to be controlled by a third-party system.
