BE7110 SD H.264 or AVS Broadcast Encoder

The Telairity BE7100 is a scalable, fully programmable, low latency broadcast quality encoder for standard definition video formats. It uses leading-edge compression technology (either H.264/AVC or AVS) to achieve more than twice the compression efficiency of the older MPEG-2 standard in true real time. Featuring “instant on” for immediate availability, simple front panel control for quick and sure operation, and encode latencies as low as 150ms, the cost-effective BE7100 encoding platform addresses the critical needs of broadcasters for high-quality low-bandwidth SD. Like all Telairity encoders, it can be easily upgraded via software to add new or improved features and enhance performance.
