It encodes H.264, H.265, NDI HX2 and NDI HX3 at up to 4096×2160 30p and streams to up to six destinations at once over RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, HLS, RIST, WHIP and more, while recording to SD, USB or network storage. In commercial AV it is the encoder of choice for auditoriums, council chambers and event spaces that need streaming, recording and control from a single rack unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Magewell Ultra Encode AIO work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AIO has an HDMI input with loop-through that accepts HDMI 1.4a or DVI-D sources up to 4K60, and a 6G-SDI input with BNC loop-through that accepts SD through 6G-SDI up to 4K30. Each input passes its signal on to a local display or the next device in the chain, so the encoder can sit inline without disturbing the room. Audio comes from 16 channels of SDI embedded audio, 8 channels of HDMI embedded audio or the 3.5 mm line input, and can be mapped into up to eight AAC streams or a two-channel Opus stream. A main stream and an optional sub stream are encoded together for high- and low-bitrate destinations, and native CEA-608 captions are carried from SDI sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLive streaming supports native YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, WOWZA and Zixi destinations, plus RTMP\/RTMPS, SRT caller and listener with AES encryption, RTSP, HLS, MPEG-TS over UDP\/RTP, TVU ISSP, RIST and WHIP. Recording runs in parallel to an SD card, USB drive or NAS in MP4, MOV or TS, with automatic upload to FTP, Google Drive, OneDrive, Panopto or Dropbox, and schedules run streams and recordings unattended. A 1.9-inch front-panel LCD shows a preview, audio meters, stream and record status and the IP address, and can start or stop sessions locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AIO powers from PoE+ (802.3at) or its locking DC supply, connects by Gigabit Ethernet or Wi-Fi with a USB 4G\/5G modem option, and ships with ears for a 1U rack, including mounting two units side by side. It is managed in a browser, through Magewell Control Hub or Zixi ZEN Master, with Stream Deck, and through an API so a room control system can start and stop streaming from a touch panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Magewell Ultra Encode AIO?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI and 6G-SDI inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Takes HDMI up to 4K60 or 6G-SDI up to 4K30, each with loop-through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4K encoding with NDI HX3\u003c\/strong\u003e — Encodes up to 4K30 in H.264, H.265, NDI HX2 or NDI HX3 at up to 62 Mbps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix simultaneous destinations\u003c\/strong\u003e — Streams to up to six platforms or servers at once over RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, HLS, RIST, WHIP and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in recording\u003c\/strong\u003e — Records to SD, USB or NAS with automatic upload to cloud storage, Panopto or FTP.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosed-caption passthrough\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carries native CEA-608 captions from SDI sources into the stream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront-panel LCD\u003c\/strong\u003e — Shows preview, audio meters and status, and starts or stops sessions at the rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE+ and rack mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — Runs on 802.3at PoE+ and mounts in 1U, two units side by side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl-system ready\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides an API, Stream Deck support and Control Hub management for automated operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Magewell Ultra Encode AIO typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\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\u003eHDMI input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI 1.4a, DVI-D;
