Niagara SCX Pro, together with Osprey SimulStream, enables you to create multiple streams in different formats in real time*, giving you the flexibility to create exactly the right content for your various audiences. This means you can encode different streams for intranet users, high-speed Internet users, dial-up users, and viewers on mobile devices – all at the same time!
With the MPEG-4 and Adobe Flash Live streaming capabilities you can deliver your rich media content to the latest Internet-enabled video devices, as well as a wide array of mobile devices.
You can size and scale each individual stream, and customize each stream with bitmap overlays (e.g., logos), closed-caption, etc. No other portable media encoder on the market today offers this level of flexibility and convenience. Capture your live video and audio on the GO and discover why ViewCast is a global leader in the industry.
*Niagara SCX allows complete control over each stream's capture size and other parameters that can cumulatively affect system performance due to the limitations of CPU speed and other internal factors. Contact ViewCast's Application Support team to ensure that the Niagara GoStream SURF can support your combination of channels, frame sizes, bitrates, multiple-format encodes, etc.
