Caster-T328 200 CH ip to ip transcoder mpeg4 to mpeg2 transcoder rtmp to m3u8

Overview

Caster-T328 is a real-time transcoding of IPTV streams turn-key solution which producing Mobile TV, Internet TV, IPTV and broadcast live video services from a single platform, eliminating the need for separate headends. The transcoder delivers high-quality services to tens of thousands of users worldwide, from bandwidth-limited mobile delivery to up to full 1080p HD over high-speed networks for traditional TVs or big screen smart mobile devices.

Caster-T328 can transcode MPEG-2 or H.263 or H.264/AVC content to multiple codecs, profiles and streams in different protocols, enabling new multiscreen services. Thanks to 3th Generation STREAM compression engine, Caster provides the higher bandwidth efficiency on the market, and the best video quality and Highest cost effective to end users. With a huge number of transcoded channels, Caster reaches one of best density of the market. Each Blade is including 25 channels transcoding and Two GbE port in/out, total reach 200Channels in 8 blades of 3RU chassis.

Caster-T328 runs on powerful hardware, enables to deliver impressive images to various servers, such as Adobe Flash Server, Wowza Server, Windows Media Server, Apples HTTP Live Streaming and some other servers base on UDP/RTP/RTSP /MMS/ HTTP/FTP/RTMP/HLS protocols.
