It encodes up to 2048×1080 60p in H.264 or H.265 and streams over RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, HLS, NDI HX2 and MPEG-TS, with native CEA-608 closed captions carried through. It is a cost-effective way to stream SDI cameras from council chambers, courtrooms, auditoriums and houses of worship to a public platform or an internal server.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Magewell Ultra Encode SDI work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe encoder accepts SD, HD and 3G-SDI (Level A and B) up to 2K60 with 10- or 12-bit color and passes the signal to the next device on the BNC loop-through, so it can sit inline between a camera and a switcher or recorder. Audio comes from up to 16 channels of SDI embedded audio or the 3.5 mm line input and is encoded as two-channel AAC, with a line output for monitoring. A main stream and an optional sub stream are encoded together, so one camera can feed a full-quality 1080p platform and a lighter internal stream at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosed captions embedded in the SDI signal as CEA-608 or 608-over-708 are carried into the encoded stream, which supports accessibility requirements for public meetings. Streaming supports native YouTube, Facebook and Twitch destinations plus RTMP\/RTMPS, SRT caller and listener, RTSP, HLS, NDI HX2, TS over UDP\/RTP and TVU ISSP, with up to six RTMP\/RTMPS or SRT sessions at once. Up to eight overlays per stream add text, logos or a clock. The unit connects by Gigabit Ethernet or Wi-Fi, accepts a USB 4G\/5G modem, is configured in a browser, registers with Magewell Control Hub, and exposes an API so a room control system can start and stop streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with the Ultra Encode SDI Plus, this model does not record internally, uses NDI HX2 rather than HX3, has one AAC audio stream and is powered by its 5 V supply rather than PoE. Choose it where the job is streaming a single HD SDI source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"table-layout:fixed;width:100%;min-width:300px\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:34%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:33%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:33%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUltra Encode SDI\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUltra Encode SDI Plus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax encode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2K60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4K30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHX2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHX2 and HX3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecording\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e128 GB, USB, NAS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaptions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCEA-608 \/ 708\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCEA-608 \/ 708\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Magewell Ultra Encode SDI?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3G-SDI input with loop-through\u003c\/strong\u003e — Accepts SD\/HD\/3G-SDI up to 2K60 and passes it on so the encoder fits inline in an SDI chain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosed-caption passthrough\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carries native CEA-608 and 608-over-708 captions into the stream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-protocol streaming\u003c\/strong\u003e — Streams over RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, HLS, NDI HX2 and MPEG-TS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-platform output\u003c\/strong\u003e — Runs up to six RTMP\/RTMPS or SRT sessions at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16-channel SDI audio\u003c\/strong\u003e — Selects embedded or line-in audio for a two-channel AAC stream with line-out monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-stream encoding\u003c\/strong\u003e — Produces a main and a sub stream for high- and low-bitrate destinations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl-system ready\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides an API and Control Hub management for remote, automated operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Magewell Ultra Encode SDI typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"table-layout:fixed;width:100%;min-width:300px\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:40%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:60%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVideo input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSD\/HD\/3G-SDI (ST 259, 292, 425);
