Advantech 4Kp60 HEVC Broadcast Video Encoder Card

VEGA-3301 enables real-time 4K UltraHD (2160p60) HEVC encoding at up to 20x less power consumption than a software-only solution. The HEVC/H.265 codec is gaining momentum because it reduces bit rates by approximately 50% when compared to an equivalent quality video stream encoded using H.264, enabling more channels or higher resolution video delivery over the same infrastructure. It is particularly relevant for 4K UltraHD transmission which requires a much higher stream capacity. These improvements are achieved at the penalty of much higher computation complexity, with up to four general purpose server class processors required to perform a 4K 60fps software-based broadcast ...
