Application: The High Definition IP (HDIP) encoder is a small form factor low cost encoder that is ideal to encode single SDI source for IP backhaul or IPTV distribution. The HDIP encoder is a MPEG-2 or H.264 digital video encoder with a single HD/SD-SDI (with PCM embedded audio) input and an IP-encapsulation output via SFP Ethernet port.
