Online video platform streaming: Stream live video to popular online video providers like YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and Rumble.
PEC 1464 feature enhancements include 12G support and compatibility with SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), a video transport protocol that optimizes streaming performance across public networks e.g. the Internet. It also supports RTMPS (Real-Time Messaging Protocol Secure), which provides a higher level of security for live streaming. It also streams multiple protocols simultaneously.
This new yellobrik supports video formats up to 12G / 4K UHD and HDMI up to WQUXGA, as well as all popular streaming formats. Video processing capabilities encompass a wide range of functionalities to enhance content presentation. This includes automatic logo insertion and the ability to insert custom images.
