The reCoder/IP is a cost effective, remotely manageable, H.264/AVC encoder. It re-encodes YPrPb or composite analog feeds to IP and delivers them to IP set-top boxes, which convert the feeds to HDMI and send them to multiple television monitors. And because it encodes the feeds into H. 264, it uses less than 60% of the bandwidth of MPEG-2, with the same video quality. The system features automatic standards detection of SD or HD. It is designed specifically for re-encoding incoming video feeds from devices that provide analog video (component or composite) only.
