Worldwide mobile Encoding Rebellion

Worldwide mobile Encoding Rebellion Unterfoehring, 06th September 2011 -After the sneak preview given at IBC 2010 the miniCASTER team is about to hit Europe's Nr. 1 Show for content production and distribution with a broad variety of mobile live-encoding and mobile broadcasting solutions since the first units have been successfully shipped.

While passing several milestones on the miniCASTER live-encoding and mobile streaming roadmap, customers can now choose between the S-Video ingest model for analog cameras and the HD/SDI ingest model for their digital broadcast set-up. Both devices enable its user to stream one SD and one HD stream in parallel and also record one stream as back up on an on-board SD-card. An HDMI model is expected in October 2011. Total mobility is guaranteed through a built-in lithium battery that powers the device when it's operated without being plugged.

Every device can be managed through an on-board menu/display or via local interface and very unique: a web based repository service. Therefore production units do not have to have any streaming know-how and can be backed-up remotely by technical experts at their headquarter if needed.
