IMX e4010 H.264 Video Encoder

The IMX e4010 video encoders are designed to deliver high quality videos over IP even with bandwidth constraints. The IMX e4010 series live video encoder is designed to work with IMX i2410 live MatrixCast Streaming servers to streaming live videos over a private IP network or the Internet. IMX e4010 is optimized to work with MatrixStream's MatrixCast Streaming protocol.

Input/Output Ports

Video Inputs (Selectable):	Composite S-Video Component (YUV/RGB with Int. or Ext. sync) SDI SDI with Embedded Audio
Audio Inputs (selectable):	Balanced analog audio (4 mono/2 stereo channels) AES/EBU digital audio
Video Delivery (selectable):	Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports DVB-ASI (optional)
Outputs (simultaneous):	Composite video and mono audio connections to monitor

Key Benefits


		Low-profile 1U rack-mounted design for reduced cost-per-channel
		Minimal bandwith required is stream over the Internet: 500 Kbps to 750 Kbps for DVD quality videos. Recommended broadband connection speed is 2 times the minimal bandwidth. Ex. users should have 1.5+ Mbps broadband connection to stream DVD quality videos.
		IMX e4010 encodes live H.264 video at full D1 resolution and up to 4 channels of MPEG AAC audio
		Interfaces to most analog and digital A/V equipment
		Encoding bitrate can be selected from 0.3 to 3.0 Mbps depending on application
		Low-latency unicast and multicast IP streaming of H.264/AAC encoding unit
		Support variety of resolutions, bitrates and frame rates
		Dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports provide additional performance and redundancy
		Selection of optional DVB-ASI stream output is available
		Adaptive spatial and temporal video noise reduction filter and de-interlacing hardware
		Recent configuration protection mode is available for reliable, optimal performance
		Remote operation/configuration and status monitoring via LAN/Internet
		Work Seamlessly with IMX Server Series - IMX e4010 video encoders are optimized to support MatrixStream's MatrixCast Streaming protocol over the Internet. This means IPTV providers can stream full screen high quality videos even when there are bandwidth constraints. MatrixStream MatrixCast Streaming currently supports H.264 video codec only.

Deployment Diagram

The following is an example of how IMX e4010 IPTV SD video encoders are deployed in a live service provider environment. IMX e4010 video encoders are taking live satellite feeds and encodes the video into H.264 format. Once videos are encoded, streams are sent to IMX i2410 MatrixCast Streaming server for live streaming across the Internet. All the interactions between all the different servers are being managed by IMX M2200 middleware server.
