7700DA4-SLKE

SD-SDI StreamLINK™ H.264 / AVC Encoder

The StreamLINK™ family of products are designed to provide the very best SD-SDI signal processing that require delivery of video and audio over IP data networks. The StreamLINK™ encoding engine provides high-quality, low latency encoding at full frame for dozens of applications. Using the H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) encoding technology, users can extend enterprise-wide usage of video systems while taking advantage low bandwidth encoding at high quality resolutions. Users can generally expect a 30% to 50% bitrate reduction over conventional MPEG-2 systems.

The module comes equipped with an on-board distribution amplifier, providing auto-equalization of the main input signal and four reliable reclocked outputs. The input signal is monitored real-time for video and embedded audio presence and will provide alarming should a fault occur.

The 7700DA4-SLKE is VistaLINK® capable, offering remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) giving the flexibility to manage operations, including signal monitoring and module configuration from SNMP capable control systems (Manager or NMS).

The 7700DA4-SLKE module occupies one card slot and can be housed in the 1RU 7801FR frame which holds up to four single or two dual slot modules, the 3RU 7800FR frame which has a 15 slot capacity, the portable 3RU 350FR frame which has a 7 slot capacity, or a standalone enclosure which holds a single module.

Flexibility, performance, feasibility on a single module!
