Note: This manual describes the combined features and capabilities of QVidium's entire line of
H.264/MPEG2 HD broadcast video networking products, models: QVPRO, QVENC, and QVDEC.
Certain features may pertain to only certain products and/or options. Whereas the QVPRO
combines encoding and decoding into a single product, the QVENC and QVDEC implement only
the encoding and decoding functions, respectively. Thus, for sections that pertain to only a subset
of these products, we note the pertinent products (QVENC or QVDEC) for which the section
applies.
As of the current firmware release (V.261), licenses are required to enable HD encoding on the
QVENC and QVPRO. The QVENC also requires a license to enable its SDI interface. However,
the QVDEC provides SDI/HD-SDI output for SD and HD video without requiring any additional
licenses, dual encoding, and bi-directional operation. These licenses may be purchased separately
at a later date. If you would like a demo license or to purchase license to enable any particular
optional feature, please contact QVidium Technologies, Inc.
Throughout this manual, unless otherwise noted, any mention of QVPRO by itself can
equally apply to the QVENC and QVDEC. You can therefore substitute QVENC or QVDEC,
as appropriate, for QVPRO.
In addition, QVidium has partnered with EVOstream (www.evostream.com) to provide optional
Web Streaming services and capabilities, including, RTMP (Flash Media), HLS, and RTSP
support. Please contact EVOstream directly for more information or to purchase license keys to
enable these features.
