BE9200/9400 Multi-Channel SD+ Encoders

The Telairity 2-channel BE9200 and 4-channel BE9400 are scalable, fully programmable broadcast quality encoders for standard definition and mobile video formats. Telairity's uniquely powerful hardware and software technology generates leading-edge video compression (H.264 or AVS) to achieve industry-leading video quality at very low bit rates for maximum transmission/storage efficiency. The 1RU BE9400 high density encoding platform also minimizes rack space to further reduce per-channel costs. Like all Telairity encoders, the BE9400 can be readily upgraded via a software download to add new features or enhance performance.

Video Encoding Features

  • 4 fully independent channels with I/O configurable per channel pair (1 & 2, 3 & 4)
  • ASI, SDI, or GigE IP input for pre-encoded content; separate SDI and optional Composite input for uncompressed content; uncompressed SDI source loop-out for monitoring, redirection
  • Image Enhancement (Deringing, Deblocking, Flicker reduction, Deinterlacing) for maximum transcoded picture quality
  • Input Formats: 576i (PAL), 480i (NTSC)
  • Input Codecs: MPEG-4 H.264/AVC to L4 · MPEG-4-ASP L5 · MPEG-2 Main Profile Main & High Levels · MPEG-1 · VC1 Advanced Profile Level 3 · DivX 3.11/4/5/6 · DV · JPEG
  • Two outputs per channel: choice of 2 ASI, 2 IP, or 1 each
  • Output Codecs: H.264/AVC High, Main, Baseline Profiles; AVS-P2
