Connect via the built-in Ethernet port, or tether to a 5G/4G phone over USB-C for streaming from anywhere.

Professional-Grade SDI Input

A 12G-SDI input accepts resolutions up to UHD 4K60, with a built-in downconverter automatically scaling your feed to the resolution you're streaming at. A 3G-SDI loop output lets you chain multiple encoders for simultaneous delivery to different services. Dedicated SDI and HDMI monitor outputs give you a full technical view — video, audio meters, streaming status, and data rate — so you always know exactly what's going out.

Built-In Webcam Mode

Connect the rear-panel USB-C port to any computer and the encoder appears as a standard webcam — broadcast-quality SDI video, recognized by any video calling or conferencing software, in resolutions up to 2160p Ultra HD.

Compact, Rugged Design

Tactile front-panel buttons and a spin knob give you hands-on control without digging through menus. The integrated 2.2" LCD keeps status, settings, and monitoring visible at a glance. Dual power inputs — 100–240 VAC and 12 VDC via 4-pin XLR — support both standard AC operation and battery or DC backup power for field and remote setups.
