VS-R264

The VS-R264 is a live-streaming hardware encoder/decoder with Full HD support. With its simple structure, this all-in-one video distribution device allows for simultaneous Full HD live streaming, backup recording, and decoding.
Software encoding is the mainstream method of live streaming, and while it's easy to use and provides high-quality video, it can also cause unexpected trouble such as PCs overheating during long streaming sessions.
Hardware encoders are powerful for long, stable live streams and recordings.
The VS-R264 is such a powerful partner that offers stability and convenience. Once users experience live streaming with a hardware encoder, they will never want to return to live streaming over software.

The VS-R264—A Stand-Alone Encoder and Decoder For Live Streaming

The VS-R264 live stream encoder addresses the growing demand for an external stand-alone YouTube encoder in live streaming environments. Additionally, the VS-R264 provides Full HD streaming to popular Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) including to name a few.
The half-rack size VS-R264 functions as a stand-alone unit—no external computer is needed for recording or streaming.
