Description
Osprey Talon UHD SC Rugged UHD Encoder
The Osprey Talon UHD SC Rugged UHD Encoder delivers professional-grade 4K video encoding with advanced compression and robust, fanless hardware design. Built for field-ready performance, the encoder handles 12G-SDI input and encodes up to 3840 × 2160 at 60 fps, making it ideal for live events, remote production, streaming workflows, or broadcast contribution. Its compact footprint and rugged build suit both studio racks and on-the-go deployments.
Supporting H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 (AVC) compression with up to 10-bit 4:2:2 color, the Talon UHD SC ensures high-fidelity video output. With embedded SDI audio providing up to 16 audio channels, the unit captures full multi-channel sound for live or recorded productions. Flexible streaming transport options — including RTMP(S), SRT, Zixi, UDP, RTP, RTSP, and WHIP — give broad compatibility for CDN delivery, live streaming, or contribution links.
The encoder is built for reliability and operational flexibility: fanless, locking power jack, dual GigE networking with support for optional USB-Ethernet adapters, and extended operating range make it robust for varied environments. Additional features include network storage or USB archiving, secure HTTPS management, remote firmware updates, JSON API for automation, closed captions, and metadata support — delivering a full-featured, production-ready solution.
