MediaStar 798-720p

MediaStar HD HDMI H264 Encoder with HDCP Pro capability (798)

 The MediaStar HD HDMI Encoder (798) is a robust processor blade with H264 encoding and optional HDCP Pro content protection compatibility. It is the ideal solution for use where HDCP protected media assets need to be redistributed with maintained integrity across a secure, controlled IP environment.

Key Features:

• Supports HDCP Pro
• Output stream resolutions up to 1080p60
• Auto configuration with MediaStar Media Manager Software
• Rack mount or stand alone appliance options
• IP streams DSCP tagged for QoS network control
• Local monitoring of unit operational status
• Compact size with low power consumption (17W)

The 798 encoder is a versatile unit that allows an HDMI delivered video and audio signal, (both with or without HDCP protection) to be streamed to users across an IP network in real-time and viewed via MediaStar Media Players (model 782) on screens and displays.

HDCP is a way of securing high value protected content. All 798 models can encode non HDCP content. When protected content is detected, only encoder model 798-HDCP can implement HDCP across the network to an unrestricted number of receiving Media Players (model 782).

The unit is a 'hot swappable' blade-based processor module powered from a MediaStar 3RU Rack Chassis (model 770) or from a single slot Appliance Case (model 769.

Initial configuration and stream setup using a laptop or tablet can be via the built-in web server or by simply using the front panel buttons and LCD status display. Alternatively, multiple units within a wider system can be networked under the control of the MediaStar Media Manager software (model 462).

Front panel RS-232 and USB Host connectors allow for local connectivity. A screen may be attached to the rear panel HDMI connector for local unit content monitoring.

The encoder has a variety of other useful features that make it an essential part of any sophisticated AV system. These include SNMP trap events, an on-board event log that can be emailed to a specific recipient as well as IP/RS232 control commands.

In addition, the unit has an IP to RS232 pass-through capability enabling remotely generated IP commands to establish a duplex communications link via the unit’s RS232 port to other co-located devices.

Maintenance free operation, small physical size and low power consumption make the 798 ideally suited for both large scale distributed applications or simple single unit deployments.
