Contemporary Research QIP-HDMI 2 IPTV Encoder
Thedual-program QIP-HDMI 2, with two HDMI inputs, sets a new standard for sports,motion and digital signage encoding. Dual hardware scalers accept content up to1080p, shapes digital signage for edge-to-edge presentation, and compensatesfor non-broadcast and PAL refresh rates. Encoding as MPEG2 or H.264, theQIP-HDMI 2 can output the content as two SPST Multicast or Unicast IPTVstreams. Options include dual-language SAP audio, easy front-panel setup andalternate audio and NTSC video inputs. Web setup, monitoring, and firmwareupdates are available via USB and Ethernet ports. Two-across mounting offers upto four programs per rack space, with the ability to mix models to handle HDMI,SDI, and NTSC video sources.
