At this year’s NAB 2018 show starting on April 7th
Magewell will be showcasing their new Ultra Stream HDMI Standalone Streaming
Encoder, which has been designed for those who would like to stream but may
have very little technical knowledge. Providing an ideal solution for those
looking for an easy-to-use streaming system using HDMI.
Removing the need for a laptop or browser-based
interface to set up the streamer, Magewell has designed the system to be set up
and configured using a Bluetooth connection to your iOS or Android application
pre-installed with the free Magewell app. “Once security, encoding and
destination parameters have been set, recording and live streaming can be
started and stopped directly with physical buttons on the Ultra Stream unit or
via virtual buttons in the app.”
The encoder also supports 4K HDMI inputs at 60fps
with 4:2:0 colour subsampling, down-converting them automatically to HD for
recording and streaming, and is the first of multiple planned models that are
expected to be released in the Ultra Stream family. The Ultra Stream HDMI
captures, encodes and streams video up to 1080p 60 via an HDMI input connection
from a wide variety of video sources such as Blu-ray players, games consoles and
camcorders.
