Vitec (formerly Exterity) Encoders

Vitec offers a range of encoding solutions designed for various applications and industries. Vitec encoders are a family of video encoders that are designed to deliver high-quality video over IP networks.

Features found in Vitec Video Encoders:

Video Compression: Encoders typically utilize video compression algorithms (such as H.264, H.265/HEVC, or VP9) to reduce the file size of video content without significant loss in quality. This allows for efficient storage and transmission of video streams.
Encoding Resolutions and Bitrates: Encoders support various video resolutions (such as SD, HD, Full HD, 4K) and offer flexible bitrate control to adapt to different network conditions and bandwidth limitations.
Streaming Protocols: Encoders often support a range of streaming protocols, such as RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol), RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol), HLS (HTTP Live Streaming), or MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), to enable seamless delivery of video content over different networks and devices.
Audio Encoding: Encoders also include audio compression algorithms (like AAC or MP3) to encode audio streams along with video content.
Input and Output Interfaces: Encoders typically have various input options, such as HDMI, SDI, or IP-based sources, to capture video signals. Output interfaces can include HDMI, SDI, or network interfaces for streaming to different destinations.
Hardware Acceleration: Many encoders utilize dedicated hardware components, such as GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) or ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), to optimize the encoding process and achieve real-time performance.
Control and Management: Encoders often provide web-based interfaces or dedicated software applications for configuration, control, and monitoring of encoding parameters, network settings, and streaming protocols.
Integration and Compatibility: Vitec Encoders may offer integration options with other video production and streaming systems, such as video switchers, content delivery networks (CDNs), or video management platforms, to facilitate seamless workflows.
