The BE7400 is a scalable, fully programmable, low latency broadcast quality encoder for standard definition video formats. It uses state-of-the-art H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) compression technology to achieve more than twice the compression efficiency of the older MPEG-2 standard. The high-density multichannel BE7400 encoding platform addresses the needs of IPTV providers and other customers for quality SD images in as little as 1 Mbps at a highly affordable per-channel price. Like all Telairity encoders, it can be easily upgraded via software to add new or improved features and enhance performance.

Applications:

The BE7400 SD encoder platform offers state of the art AVC/H.264 video compression for standard definition television formats in a dense and cost effective 1 RU form factor.

Applications include:

• IPTV
• Live Streaming
• Surveillance / Monitoring
• Broadcast Distribution
  Satellite / Cable / Terrestrial

Benefits:

Compact 1RU system for broadcast quality video encoding.

Handles up to 4 fully independent SD channels, with up to 4 stereo audio programs (up to 8 audio channels) per video channel.

Based on the fully programmable Telairity-1 video architecture; easy software upgrades to improve quality, lower bit rates, add new options.

MPEG-4 AAC-LC option for high audio quality at very low compressed bit rates; Dolby Digital (AC-3) pass-through also supported.

“Instant on” two-second startup and one-second restart times.

Non-stop design includes dual redundant power supplies. Price includes unconditional one year service guarantee.

Models:

BE7400-2 - Two-channel system
BE7400-3 - Three-channel system
BE7400-4 - Four-channel system
