Multi Channel HD + SD Video and Audio Streaming Combinations

VGADVI Broadcaster Pro recording and streaming HD + SD video sources

VGADVI Broadcaster Pro has a compact model and a rack mount model, each with different video source capture capabilities.

Compact Model - The compact model captures an HD video source (VGA/RGB/Component/DVI/HDMI) (up to 1920x1200), an analog SD video source ( S-Video/Composite (PAL, NTSC)) and an audio source.

Rack mount model - The rack mount model captures up two HD channels (VGA/RGB/Component/DVI/DVI-DL/HDMI) sources, up to 2048×2048, from a display or camera video source, in parallel with up one or two SD video source channels and an audio source.

Encode to One or More Streams

VGADVI Broadcaster Pro encodes the input channels into a one or more streams with the choice of standard formats and customized settings such as CODEC, bit rate, frame size, transport protocol:

Flash (H.264), ASF (MPEG4), ASF (H.264), RTP (MPEG-4), RTP (H.264), MJPEG

This feature is especially useful when the viewing communities have different bandwidth and viewing objectives or constraints.

Administrators can also custom brand multiple output stream layouts with picture in picture arrangement, time stamping, copyright notices, and other branding text.

Stream 1 Channel and/or Multiple Independent Channels

Multi-Source Picture with Picture Video Matrix / Multiplexing Features VGADVI Broadcaster Pro can be configured to synchronize, stream and record video sources as a single video channel or maintain the video sources as multi video channel streams.

Video Sizing and Layout VGADVI Broadcaster Pro automatically detects the resolution and refresh rate of the input signals and scales them to the resolutions and frame rates of your choosing. The size and position of each input source as it appears in the output stream can be customized to allow multiple video sources into a single output channel. Creating multiple channels using the same video input sources enables multiple streams of the same content using differing output resolutions and/or refresh rates. Create summary views consisting of multiple video sources without sacrificing the ability to stream all video sources on their own at their native resolutions and frame rates.

Stream Options

Stream One or More Views to Different URLs
