Benefits of AvediaStream Transcoders include:

• Enable real-time delivery of video and audio content to any device, keeping end users up to date and entertained, wherever they are
• Extend the reach of enterprise IP video by distributing audiovisual content to a broad range of devices
• Save 50% bandwidth whilst maintaining quality using the new HEVC (H.265) codec
• Ensure video traceability and brand your video content with customisable text, image and time watermarking
• Easily distribute production-quality video from your NDI® live production environments to your Exterity IP video solution, or contribute video from IPTV systems to NDI production environments
• High Availability, which means that two transcoders can be configured in a cluster to provide continued availability of live stream transcodes using a failover mechanism

The main functions of the AvediaStream Transcoders include:

• Scale: reduce or increase the resolution of the image, for example, from 4K to 1080p
• Transcode: change the encoding of the video and/or audio; for example, HEVC to H.264
• Transrate: alter the compression and therefore the transmission bit rate, regardless of whether the codec type is changed or not, for example, go from 6Mbps to 500kbps
• Transpose: rotate the video (270 degrees) for use in portrait video applications, such as digital signage or airport flight information displays
• Transcast: re-encapsulate stream transport container format to match playback devices or convert between multicast and unicast to pass through routed networks

The Exterity Transcoder range has been developed to provide varying levels of transcoding power to match solution requirements:

• t3605: The blade format t3605 is designed to transcode individual IPTV channels for delivery to third party and legacy IPTV devices on the LAN. The t3605 can also contribute streams to a CDN or deliver directly to small numbers of mobile clients via HLS
• t5320: The t5320 is a full featured, rack-mounted transcoder capable of transforming content to suit all viewing device types. It can transcode inputs up to 4K and can deliver up to 40 concurrent channels
• t5620: For more demanding transcoding requirements, the high-performance t5620 can process many different input types for integration into the IPTV system. The t5620 can transcode inputs up to 4K and deliver up to 75 concurrent channels
