Teradek has introduced Cube, the first camera-top HD video encoder also to provide the capability for internet streaming
Cube encodes HD video at up to 1080p30 using advanced H.264 High Profile Level 4.1 compression.
The Cube is housed in a miniaturized, rugged aluminum enclosure weighing only 7 ounces. It has no moving parts which ensures greater reliability and quiet operation.
The device requires 2.5 watts of power and accepts Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 9-24V DC input.
This new device provides the ability to stream HD video over IP, which provides users several applications previously unavailable with current hardware.
Using a standard HD video camera, live video can broadcast with only access to a WiFi access point, a LAN port, or broadband Internet connection.
The Cube is intended to help turn seminars into live webinars, for broadcasting youth, high school, and college sports, streaming local theater and community events over the web, and much more.
“We’re on the cusp of a sea change in video distribution. Increased bandwidth and advances in video encoding allow anyone to stream live, broadcast-quality video over the web,” said Rod Clark, Director of Marketing at Teradek.
“The stunning video capabilities of modern mobile devices like smart phones are transforming the way content is delivered.”
“Over the next few years these technologies will revolutionize how people communicate, from citizen broadcasting, education, video conferencing, to live coverage of local sporting events, or even live video for social networking. Everything will change. It’s changing now.”
