The RACK Series supports multiple operational modes including live, record, live and record, file forward. It supports the upmost HD H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC encoder to reach low bitrates at sub-second latency without comprising on video quality.
Designed in 1U half rack form factor, it enables cost reduction and space saving. It’s delivered with “as-a-box” design but can be rack-mounted thanks to dedicated kits hosting one or two units in 1U. Ideally suited for news vans, it can also be paired with the roof-mounted QUAD CellLink (active 3G/4G multi-antennas).
BROADCAST-GRADE LIVE VIDEO
1U HALF RACK SIZE FOR SPACE-CONSTRAINED ENVIRONMENTS
EMMY AWARDED RELIABLE BONDING TRANSMISSION
LOCALLY OR REMOTELY CONTROLLABLE
Live and Automatic Record
Equipped with a user-friendly, intuitive touchscreen, the encoder offers premium quality live video broadcast over bonded IP networks: 3G/4G/5G, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and satellite networks such as BGAN, GX and Ka Band. Powered by the double Emmy® award-winning SST technology, the RACK encoder offers ultra-reliable transmission on any network, thanks to an intelligent IP-bonding stack.
Automatically and simultaneously record your live on a SD card at different resolution and bitrate to ensure the best video quality.
Automatic Live Start
The Automatic Live Start function, a.k.a “Zero Touch” function, allows to start automatically a live operation when the unit is powered up and a video source is detected.
It is a must-have feature for equipment based on remote location without easy access.
Video Return & Intercom
Directly receive and watch on-air programs, telepromter information coming from the studio on your RACK Series. Just connect a small display on the RACK’s HDMI output. No other configuration required. It’s plug and play!
The RACK Series also provides two-ways audio communication between the producer, the production crews and the on-air talent through a seamless and robust intercom.
Synchronized Audio and Video Delivery
Reach the full potential of your Remote Production or At-Home Production!
As first, it supports a perfect video synchronization and lip sync across multiple cameras in the venue to guarantee seamless camera switching and efficient video editing in the remote production studio.
Remote Control
Our solution enables remote control of network-based devices such as PTZ cameras and tally lights. The camera remote control from the Studio become easy and efficient thanks to our ultra-low latency and robust connectivity.
Less equipment required on the field for less expenses!
