ViewCast Niagara 7550
Designed for HD Broadcast Applications
Key Features
For your professional broadcasting applictions, the Niagara 7550 has been designed to simplify the workflows involved when transforming high-definition video over broadcast and mobile networks.
Accepting both standard- or high-definition video through its SDI interface, the Niagara 7550 is able to switch between SD and HD sources quickly and easily, and without you having to reinitialize the system.
Audio inputs include analogue stereo, two channels of AES/EBU and up to eight stereo pairs of embedded SDI audio. Its powerful video pre-processing features include closed-caption extraction and rendering, deinterlacing, inverse telecine, bitmap overlay, scaling, and cropping.
From a single video source, you will be able to deliver multiple streams at the same time in various formats, bit rates and resolutions, all handled through ViewCast SimulStream® technology. The Niagara 7550 also supports Microsoft® Live IIS Smooth Streaming and PlayReady® Digital Rights Management (DRM) support.
You'll even be able to remotely control all the features of the Niagara 7550 by using the management softward included with the product, all through an easy-to-use web interface. This software greatly enhances the live streaming delivery workflow. By eliminating the need for an external stream segmenter, encoding workflows are simplified and overall system costs reduced.
To help you schedule and manage live video, VMp Live, an event scheduling software module that is part of the ViewCast Media Platform (VMp™) suite of products, is now available as an add-on component to the Niagara 7550. VMp Live is an easy to use, costeffective solution to schedule and manage your live video events.
