Professional high-end features
The Niagara Pro II is the next generation in professional- grade video streaming systems. This system offers powerful processors and large memory capacity, taking professional streaming to the next level. With its two independent channels, the Niagara Pro II allows you to capture SDI video and encode multiple full-resolution (D1) streams including live adaptive streaming to Apple® iPhone® and iPad® mobile digital devices.
The Niagara Pro II is the preferred choice for broadcasters, studios, enterprise IT departments, content delivery networks (CDNs) and network service providers because it’s loaded with the high-end features that professionals demand. The Niagara Pro II delivers powerful performance in a wide range of applications.
Pre-configured software.
The Niagara Pro II includes two of our most versatile software applications – Niagara SCX® and SimulStream® – both pre-configured and ready to use. ViewCast’s SimulStream software enables you to create additional streams from the same sources in different formats – encoded independently and simultaneously. This powerful software enables you to stream in multiple resolutions, formats and bit rates – all at the same time.
Niagara SCX management software lets you control all of its key features through an easy-to-use web interface. Niagara SCX will markedly improve the live streaming delivery workflow. By eliminating the need for an external stream segmenter, encoding workflows are simplified and overall system costs reduced.
Schedule and manage live video.
VMp Live, an event scheduling software module that is part of the ViewCast Media Platform (VMp™) suite of products, is now available as an add-on component to the Niagara Pro II. VMp Live is an easy to use, costeffective solution to schedule and manage your live video events.
