A low-latency audio/video encoder taking zero CPU cycles. Ideal for compressing an HD-SDI signal, or for converting the PC's desktop to H.264 or MPEG-2 Video.The hardware is based on field-proven Magnum encoding technology.
DekTec DTA-2180 H.264 HD encoder for PCIe - DTA-2180
Features
Real-time H.264 or MPEG-2 video encoder for HD and SD formats, and
with multi-channel AAC, AC-3 and MP1LII audio encoder.
Audio/video input taken from HD-SDI, or from HDMI for encoding the output of a graphics card.
Includes a transport-stream multiplexer with low-latency ASI output. The TS is also available
on PCIe for reading by a PC application.
Applications
General-purpose H.264 program encoder for real-time encoding of an HD-SDI or HDMI signal.
H.264 encoding of the contents of a PC desktop, running e.g. a slide show.
High-quality encoding of the graphics output of a PC application.
For example, the multiviewer output of Xpect Mosaic can be encoded
for remotely viewing the mosaic.
