Product description The Epiphan VGADVI Broadcaster captures, combines, records, and streams audio, Full HD video, and SD video. This quiet, portable recording and streaming device can stream directly to a handful of viewers or reach a broad audience via multicast or a content distribution network (CDN). The VGADVI Broadcaster can also provide content to your set-top boxes and digital signs via UPnP and SAP network announce protocols.
The VGADVI Broadcaster captures HD video from sources such as computer monitors, RADAR displays, or ultrasound monitors, as well as SD video signals such as from a camera feed. The VGADVI Broadcaster can stream these sources as two synchronized, time-stamped streams or a multi-source layout with customized branding. Streams can be remotely accessed through web browsers, media players, mobile devices, or set-top boxes. Streams can be recorded to local storage and downloaded at a later date. The VGADVI Broadcaster is easy to setup and use, and works straight out of the box. Once configured, it does not require the use of a computer or any additional equipment -- simply power it on to start encoding and streaming. - Key Features
