BE8110 HD H.264/AVC Broadcast Encoder

The Telairity BE8110 is a scalable, fully programmable, low latency broadcast encoder for high definition (HD) video compression. The BE8110 uniquely combines leadingedge H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) compression technology with an outstanding encode latencyof less than 150ms, achieving more than twice the compression efficiency of the older MPEG-2 standard in true real time. Featuring “instant on” for immediate availability and simple “two button” front panel control for quick and easy field operation, the cost-effective BE8110 encoding platform addresses the critical needs of broadcasters for live streaming capability. Like all Telairity encoders, it can be readily upgraded via software to add new features or enhance performance.
