The Kramer KDS-EN3 is an H.264 encoder for HDMI signals up to 1080p60. The KDS-EN3 provides unicast (one-to-one) or multicast (one-to-many) streaming to the KDS-DEC3 decoder or computers running VLC© software. KDS-EN3 can also record content to a network drive for later access.

• AVC Support - MPEG-4 using H.264 & AAC codecs.
• Built-in Scaling and Frame Rate Control - For lower bandwidth consumption when distributing over the network.
• Open Encoding - Enable software decoding through VLC® player software.
• Standard Ethernet Network Operation - 10/100/1000Mb.
• Video Support - HDMI.
• Audio Support - HDMI or analog.
• Streaming Support - Unicast and multicast through RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol).
• KDS-EN3 Manager Software - Allows remote management of the KDS-EN3 network including auto-detection and discovery of KDS-EN3/KDS-DEC3 units on a subnet.
• Manual & Scheduled Recording - To network storage option on encoders.
• RS-232 Virtualization - From encoder to decoder.

APPLICATIONS

• AV distribution systems with one or more sources and many displays in schools, universities and public venues
• Long-distance transmission of signals using existing wires and infrastructure in corporate offices, government applications
• Advanced applications where functions such as recording, archiving, scaling and more are required
