Offering the highest-quality and most flexible encoding features, the mediaHUB-HD 422 is a High and Standard Definition multi-CODEC work-horse. With the ability to encode any combination of HD or SD, MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 AVC with 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 color space, the mediaHUB-HD 422 supports past, present and future requirements. With support for 40 encoding profiles and auto-detection capability for resolution and frame rate, this product can hit the ground running regardless of your application....Contribution, Distribution or Studio Encoding! Its rugged design and standard LCD front panel for status and configuration makes it ideal for mobile contribution applications while the on-board web-based control application offers ease of use for distribution and studio encoding. This all-in-one rack mountable unit is designed with standards compliance in mind and can easily be integrated with other leading broadcast gear.

mediaHUB-HD 422 Back Panel

• Flexible Encoding:The mediaHUB-HD 422 supports a wide range of encoding profiles via SDI and composite with audio encoding available via AES, Analog and embedded SDI.
• Transport:MPEG 2 Transport Stream via ASI and GigE supporting UDP / RTP / SMPTE 2022.
• SDI Plug and Encode:Automatic SDI detection (HD and SD) of standards and frame rate.
• Configuration and Monitoring: Rapidly and accurately configure and monitor the mediaHUB-HD 422 via the front panel or on-board web application and SNMP.
• Highest quality HD and SD: When it comes to the best on-air look, mediaHUB-HD 422 delivers with excellent quality High and Standard Definition video encoding using MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 AVC.
