Broadcasters and digital content providers need to capture and preserve the highest possible quality video when acquiring content from news, sports, and other live events. You need something with the ability to process SD, HD, and HDR signals, along with audio channels, to transport these at high speed and with minimal latency over a variety of existing networks. Great encoders are a key requirement in live streaming. There are also small and robust stand-alone devices that make streaming and recording easy. Let us know what you are looking to do and we can talk through what will work best for your project.
