Tascam - VS-R265 Live Streaming Hardware Encoder/Decoder with 4K Support

Live Streaming Hardware Encoder/Decoder with 4K support
The VS-R265 is a 4K live-streaming hardware encoder/decoder with H.264 and H.265 support. With its simple structure, this all-in-one video distribution device allows for simultaneous 4K/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-R265 4K live stream encoder addresses the growing demand for an external stand-alone encoder for 4K live streaming environments. The VS-R265 functions as a YouTube encoder and also provides live video streaming to popular Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) including to name a few. The half-rack size VS-R265 functions as a stand-alone unitno external computer is needed for recording or streaming.

Balanced analog Euroblock/Phoenix low voltage wire connectors and unbalanced analog 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-stereo jacks provide versatile audio I/O connections for a wide range commercial AV over IP environments, including corporate, education, house of worship, government, industrial and security.

Audio can be embedded from analog sources and de-embedded to drive networked audio playback for ceiling speakers, or digital audio within the HDMI I/O can be used. An integrated installed output level configuration function and reference level switching function (up to +20dBu) allows reliable and flexible system structuring when streaming video.

The VS-R265 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.
