Tascam VSR-265 4K/UHD Streamer/Recorder

The VS-R265 is a 4K/UHD AV over IP streaming encoder and decoder that simultaneously records, encodes, streams, and decodes 4K video streams (3840x2160) using High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), a high efficiency coding scheme that delivers H.264 video quality at half the bit rate.

Key Features

• 4K/UHD AV over IP streaming media encoder and decoder for live video streaming.
• Simultaneously records, encodes, streams, and decodes 4K video streams.
• Functions as an external stand-alone YouTube encoder for HD streaming to YouTube and other popular CDNs, including Wowza, Ustream, AWS Elemental MediaLive and CloudFront, etc.
• Uses High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), a high efficiency coding scheme that delivers H.264 video quality via 4K content at half the bit rate.
• Versatile audio I/O connections via balanced analog Euroblock low-voltage wire connectors and unbalanced analog 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-stereo jacks.
• Perfect for a wide range of 4K live streaming AV installations and environments, including corporate, education, house of worship, government, industrial installations and security.
• Audio can be embedded from analog sources and de-embedded to drive networked audio playback for ceiling speakers.
• Provides digital audio embedded within the HDMI I/O.
• Installed output level configuration function and reference level switching function (up to +20dBu) allows reliable and flexible system structuring.
• Compatible with popular standard streaming protocols, including HLS, RTMP, RTP/RTSP, Multicast, Unicast.
• Offers RESTful API for integration into control systems in commercial AV installations.
• Ability to record directly to USB connected media or SD cards via a front panel loading slot.
• Recorded files can easily be uploaded to an FTP server automatically for creating back-up copies or repurposing to the web.
• With the optional rack-mountable shelf AK-RS1, up to two VS-R units can be installed in a 19 inch rack space.
• Support PoE+ for power supply in addition to the optional AC adapter (TASCAM PS-P1220E; sold separately)
