BE9300 3-Channel Multi-format Encoder
The Telairity BE9300 is a scalable, fully programmable broadcast quality encoder for high definition and standard definition video formats. It combines Telairity's uniquely powerful hardware and software technology with leading-edge video compression (either H.264/AVC or AVS) to achieve industry-leading video quality at very low bit rates, below 1Mbps for SD and 6Mbps for HD formats. The versatile, multichannel BE9300 encoding platform can be configured with either 2 HD/SD channels, or 1 HD/SD and 1 or 2 SD channels, or 2-4 SD channels, addressing the needs of IPTV and other providers to improve system density, or simultaneously encode a single input for up to 3 different types of displays (HD, SD, and Mobile formats).Video Encoding Features
