VGADVI Broadcaster support

Yes. Additionally, VGADVI Broadcaster allows you choose if the HD and SD channels will be broadcast and recorded as one stream or two independent streams.

VGADVI Broadcaster performs on-board compression such that a 100 Mbps network connection should provide enough capacity for effective transmission of video streams transmitted. The Ethernet connector is also the source of power for VGADVI Broadcaster. If your network does not provide Power over Ethernet (PoE – spec: IEEE 802.3af class 0 ), you will need to use an Power over Ethernet injector as provided with your device.

VGADVI Broadcaster can capture at rates up to 30 fps. The actual capture rate of the VGADVI Recorder depends on the original source resolution and configured settings such as the codec, frame size, bitrate and quality vs. speed setting. Refer to the device’s documentation for guidelines and examples to achieve the ideal frame rate for your applications.

By default, VGADVI Broadcaster preserves the original resolution of the images captured by setting the output frame size to match the resolution of the source. VGADVI Broadcaster can also perform real time scaling of the incoming source resolution and render to the frame size chosen in the stream setup configuration menus. Configuring the frame size for the HD channel and SD channel allows you to create different visual layouts during streaming and recording.

VGADVI Broadcaster does not need to be connected to a LAN or the Internet. VGADVI Broadcaster can function as a stand-alone device or directly connected to the Ethernet port of a computer. In the case of stand alone modes, VGADVI Broadcaster will require use of a Power over Ethernet injector in order to provide power to the device. Please consult the product documentation for instructions on how to configure the device for stand alone modes. However, if connected to a LAN or the Internet, the VGADVI Broadcaster can automatically archive the recordings it makes to an FTP server. As well, a connection to a LAN or the Internet allows the user to remotely manage and access the recordings that VGADVI Broadcaster makes.

VGADVI Broadcaster analyzes the source signals to automatically determine the incoming source resolution. You can change this in the web admin interface if needed. If VGADVI Broadcaster does not support the resolution you provide, Please contact us. We are always looking for ways to improve our products to add support for this mode.

Configuration is performed through an intuitive web interface. Advanced users may also use HTTP API commands.

VGADVI Broadcaster is compatible with many different video compression formats and codecs. The compression to be used for recording can be set by the user. Consult the Stream Setup menu or the product documentation for the most recent list of codecs supported by VGADVI Broadcaster.

Yes. VGADVI Recorder can stream to browsers on Apple devices using the MJPEG codec. Additionally third party media player applications running on an iPad, iPod, or iPhone support other codecs such as H.264 and MPEG4.

The VGADVI Broadcaster product documentation provides an expanded trouble shooting guide to help ensure your system is setup correctly. Some things to check quickly in the following order:

VGADVI Broadcaster supports a number streaming protocols (HTTP, RTP, RTMP, RTSP, UDP or HTTP) that provide different scalability and underlying network configuration trade offs. HTTP streaming architectures are the simplest, but don’t offer the level of scalability of multicast and content distribution network architectures. Consult the product documentation for further information.

VGADVI Broadcaster provides multiple mechanisms to brand your streams and recordings. The stream setup menus provide a mechanism to apply timestamp, text such as event name, copyright, time, date, etc. Additionally you can customize with a logo, upload a custom no-signal image, or select the background matte color used in picture in picture modes.
