GENERAL Description EN-264 is a HD Encoder & Transcoder which fully complies with H.264 standard. Integrated with the TSoIP board, the accepts TS over IP or ASI input for transcoding, or alternatively accepts HD-SDI, HDMI or YPbPr input for encoding, the final output is available in IP or ASI format.
USER’S MANUAL. EN-264. Features • Conforms to H.264 High Profile 4.0 and Main Profile 4.0. • TS to TS Transcoding MPEG-2 HD to H.264 HD/SD, or MPEG-2 SD to H.264 • Supports TS multiplexing, which can re-multiplex encoded programs and ASI input programs into one TS stream.
