The Magewell Ultra Encode SDI supports high-quality H.264, H.265 (HEVC), encoding. Stream Full HD video simultaneously to Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and other streaming platforms. This device supports also other streaming protocols such as SRT, NDI|HX, HLS, RTMP, and RTMPS with wired or wireless network connectivity.

SDI input support for up to 2048x1080 60fps input and loop through signals.

Ultra Encode can be combined with our Pro Convert decoders to form flexible AV over IP infrastructures leveraging NDI®|HX and SRT technology. The devices can be configured and controlled through an intuitive Web GUI or HTTP-based APIs, providing systems integrators with exceptional deployment and integration flexibility.

A Flexible & Affordable Universal Encoder:
- Live H.264/H.265 streaming 
- Supports streaming protocols including SRT, NDI|HX, HLS & more
