Breeze Technologies - Ice Blue
Encoder/Decoder SDI Card - MPEG-1/2/4
Key Features
Ice Blue is a high-end broadcast and production encoder/decoder that enables MPEG1, 2 and 4 encoding and decoding with a mix of SDI, composite, digital AES, balanced and embedded audio inputs and outputs.
Ice Blue is an ideal solution for digital signage, with it's ability to stream the desktop or incorporate PowerPoint and web-based applications. The video input can be combined with the desktop to re-purpose content. This feature makes a cost effective signage system.
