Digigram to Show Industry's First OB Van-Compatible UHD 4K Hardware Video Encoder for Live Contribution at 2016 NAB Show

"Our new AQORD *HEVC systems enable huge bandwidth efficiencies and significant cost savings in the contribution of a single 4K feed or as many as four HD feeds simultaneously from the shooting location to the studio," said Laurent Gros, video product manager at Digigram. "Serving as one of the industry's first UHD 4K hardware encoders in a single compact and low-power chassis, and providing both streaming and recording capabilities, the new AQORD *HEVC-4K is an ideal fit for high-end video contribution via an OB van."
Ready to use right out of the box with minimal configuration, these latest additions to Digigram's AQORD family allow users to stream superior-quality video — UHD or multiple HD feeds — almost immediately. With HEVC/H.265 encoding or local recording capabilities, AQORD *HEVC offers mission critical 24/7 reliability, supported by dual streaming capabilities, forward error correction (FEC), and a redundant power supply. Each unit's compact form factor saves space and reduces power consumption in demanding outside broadcasting environments.

The new Digigram products ingest raw video through quadruple 3G-SDI video inputs and use HEVC to realize double the compression efficiency enabled by AVC/H.264. The AQORD *HEVC-4K is UHD-ready while the AQORD *HEVC-xHD can encode one HD channel and upgrade up to four HD channels or one UHD channel via software license. Both versions of the AQORD *HEVC video encoder will be shown at the 2016 NAB Show by the Digigram team on the booth of Digigram's partner, Broadcast Depot (N3418), and both are available for shipping now.
