Cobalt 9992-ENC-4K-HEVC HEVC/H.265/MPEG-5-ready openGear Encoder

The Cobalt 9992-ENC-4K-HEVC 4K HEVC / AVC / MPEG2 Software Defined Broadcast Encoder is a multi-channel broadcast-grade encoder designed to meet the most stringent requirements for today's broadcasters. Our HEVC video encoding technology provides a dramatic compression efficiency improvement over previous video compression standards, while also supporting existing MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC. The 9992-ENC-4K-HEVC is an industry standard openGearr card and provide an ideal platform for transitioning to state-of-the-art encoding capabilities.
Please Note: Card Only! Rear module sold separately
Features:
Software-defined architecture supports MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265). Additional audio licenses available using optional licenses.
The 9992-ENC-4K-HEVC is offered in the industry-standard openGear format, and is compatible with existing deployed openGear frames.
Supports up to four independent 1080p60 input signals, or a single UHD 4Kp60 input signal. One openGear frame can support up to 10 cards, for a total of 40 HD or 10 UHD 4K channels.
The 9992-ENC-4K-HEVC supports MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, LPCM (SMPTE-302M) and Dolby AC-3/EAC-3 (optional license). Flexible "credits-based" audio processing allows flexible audio resource allocation.
