The Magewell Ultra Encode AIO is an advanced single channel encoder for streaming and recording. This encoder can encode and stream an HDMI 4K 30fps live input or a Full HD 3G-SDI 60fps input. The picture-in-picture and other overlay options allow users to merge both HDMI and SDI inputs for a combined output.
This powerful encoder offers simultaneous multi-protocol streaming with up to eight channels and a bit rate of 32 Mbps per stream. Users can choose from a variety of formats including H.264, H.265 (HEVC), NDI®|HX 2 and NDI®|HX 3. Transmission protocols include RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, RTP, HLS and TVU's ISSP technology.
- HDMI: encoding and streaming up to 4096x2160 at 30 fps
- 3G-SDI: encoding and streaming up to 1080p HD at 60 fps
- Multi-Stream: Enables 6 simultaneous sessions over multiple streaming protocols at 32 Mbps per session.
- Picture-in-picture: Encode and stream the HDMI and SDI inputs simultaneously as a combined input by using picture-in-picture or side-by-side mode.
- Configurable overlays: text, clock, images, etc.
Video processing with multiple inputs.
The single channel Ultra Encode AIO can encode a 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. Up to eight user-configurable overlays - including text, images and a clock - can be applied to the output profile.
Flexible formats and protocols.
Ultra Encode AIO supports multiple video encoding formats - including H.264, H.265 (HEVC), NDI®|HX 2 and NDI®|HX 3 - and a wide range of transmission protocols, including RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, RTP, HLS and TVU's ISSP technology. Up to eight audio channels can be encoded in AAC format.
Powerful encoding and streaming capabilities.
Video can be encoded at resolutions of up to 4096x2160 at 30 frames per second from HDMI sources or up to 1080p HD at 60 frames per second from the device's 3G-SDI input. Ultra Encode AIO can stream to up to six different destinations simultaneously at bit rates of up to 32 Mbps per stream.
Versatile recording and streaming.
Ultra Encode AIO supports streaming and recording simultaneously. Inputs can be recorded as files on an SD card or an external storage device connected via USB or network storage (NFS, CIFS or SMB).
New NDI®|HX 3 support.
For IP production workflows and AV-over-IP signal distribution architectures, Ultra Encode AIO supports NDI®|HX 3, the latest version of the highly efficient, low-bandwidth option of the popular NDI® IP media transport technology platform. Ultra Encode AIO also supports the earlier NDI®|HX 2 version, making it widely compatible.
