The RACK Series is a game changer for remote sports production workflows, speeding up production and reducing costs and complexity. Designed to offer unmatched flexibility, robustness and remote operability, the RACK Series delivers pristine video quality with the latest generation of UHD/HD H.265/HEVC encoders. It supports advanced, low-latency remote productions by allowing you to send perfectly synchronised high-resolution video streams (1080p50/60) from multiple or a single device thanks to our multi-camera support (up to 4).
Save money and space with this 1U half-rack encoder. The RACK Series is delivered “as-a-box” but can be rack-mounted with dedicated kits to accommodate one or two units in 1U.

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.
Multi Camera Synchronisation
Our solution 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.
With RACK400, you get up to 4 high-res, fully frame-synced feeds are supported in a single rack unit.
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!
