SISCaster is a highly innovative, sophisticated, affordable and easy to use system that integrates multiple wireless cameras, its own IP uplink and all the facilities normally found in a high end scanner into a vehicle the size of a standard carrier. The unit is ideal for traditional program making, product launches and for covering live events on big screens while simultaneously feeding video, recording and broadcasting to the internet. SISCaster HD delivers a full HD signal and can connect and mix up to 8 HD cameras.
SISCaster HD uses the latest self aligning VSAT satellite technology to offer unlimited streaming at a choice of bit rates to any server required. It also encodes edited clips or the live vision mixer output, using the on-board Windows Media, QuickTime, Real Player, iPhone and Flash encoders with multistream capability.
