Ensemble Designs Brighteye Nxt 450 Compact Router With H.264 Encoder/decoder And Up/down/cross Conversion
- Product Code: ga31442
-
The BrightEye NXT 450 Compact Router from Ensemble Designs adds a high quality, high profile H.264 (MPEG-4) encoder to the BrightEye NXT family of compact routers. The Encoder produces both a high and low resolution output simultaneously. Any SDI input can be fed to the encoder through the built-in format converting Clean Switch, allowing seamless switching or mixing between all inputs. The independent decoder operates simultaneously, with baseband output in any desired format. The decoder output can be switched along with any other source to any destination. An NXT 450 can serve as a full duplex codec, supporting both an outgoing and incoming streaming path. Encoding and decoding are fully integrated with the full set of resources in the NXT 450.
Encoded streams can be sent or received through IP networking or by direct DVB-ASI connections. The NXT 450 incorporates an RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port dedicated to streaming connectivity. The encoder output can be delivered by either unicast or multicast addressing modes over the IP connection. Two unicast outputs can be independently directed to any desired destination. The multicast output is limited to the immediate subnet that the NXT 450 is connected to, but can be received by multiple devices. In addition to IP outputs, a DVB-ASI formatted stream can be output through a BNC port, or by fiber with an SFP module. For each of these outputs, IP or ASI, there is independent selection of the high or low resolution stream. The NXT 450 can receive an IP stream from the media port, or ASI from any BNC or fiber input. This stream will be decoded to produce a baseband SDI signal with embedded audio.

Flexible I/O configuration allows on-the-fly changes to the number of inputs and router destinations. From 9 inputs and 2 outputs, to 2 inputs and 9 outputs, the NXT 450 adapts to different needs. The two SFP ports allow for fiber optic connections, HDMI I/O, or additional HD-BNC SDI connections. You can genlock the Clean Switches and TSGs using the external reference input or assign a Clean Switch to an output. The encoder is driven as a destination of the routing matrix, and the output of the decoder is a source to the matrix. You can feed any source to the encoder, and feed the decoder to any destination.
The NXT 450 contains two Clean Switches. When assigned to an output, they provide clean, quiet switching, even between asynchronous sources. The format conversion feature provides automatic conversion of inputs to the chosen output format. This makes it possible to cut and mix between different input formats. Frame synchronization in the Clean Switch is particularly valuable when assigned to the input of the encoder. It guarantees that the encoder receives continuous, uninterrupted synchronization, regardless of the timing or condition of the input signals.
Control and configuration of the NXT 450 can be made from a variety of interfaces. The front panel provides a full motion, real time video display of sources and destinations. You can route signals and configure resources directly from the front panel or connect the RJ-45 control network port to a LAN, for control using the built-in web server. From smartphone, tablet, or laptop, you can view thumbnails of all the sources and destinations, make routing changes, and configure parameters of all the NXT 450 resources. Control from third-party devices can be accomplished by TCP/IP or RS-232 protocols. Or you can use the 5835 Control Panel to provide a fully customizable operator interface.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does this encoder do 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma subsampling?
A: Unfortunately AVMATRIX does not provide this information.
Q: 2. I noticed that the power supply comes separately - does that mean that it can alternatively be powered by a computer through the USB port? I am also unclear about the audio inputs. I have never seen that type of jack before...
A: No, it cannot be powered via USB. That is used to provide more comprehensive control, diagnostics, and upgrades to the unit from a PC or Mac. The audio input uses a 6 pin Phoenix connector, Wiring is done by inserting the connector provided with the unit. The wires will need to be stripped and inserted into the connector as described in the manual.
Q: 3. Via SRT does this send SEI timecode so that multiple of these units can be used for multi-camera sync at a remote switcher?
A: The AVMATRIX SE1217 H.265/264 HDMI Streaming Encoder does not support SEI timecode via SRT. It can not be used as a Sync generator.
Q: 4. Can this product stream 3 streams simultaneously WITH EACH STREAM HAVING A DIFFERENT BITRATE?
A: Yes it can. Each output stream can be configured independently on the UI of the Osprey Talon G2 H.264 Encoder.
Q: 5. Is there a certain type of SD card or USB thumb drive that works best with this machine for recording audio and video?
A: The Datavideo H.264 Dual Streaming Encoder/Recorder has no recording with the USB, it is for Firmware updates only. The SD card Does not need to be UHS-II.
Q: 6. will this simply do just a horizontal flip to a video feed? the use case is Sony A7S3 HDMI out SE1217 Input (flips the image horizontally) - outputs 1080p 30p to a blackmagic atem mini?
A: Yes. The AVMATRIX SE1217 is capable of doing a horizontal image flip.
Q: 7. I would like to stream an HDMI source over a local network to a smart TV and computer. Will this stream in HLS, be available to multiple devices on my LAN, and be playable in a standard browser with no additional decoding software or hardware? Thanks in advance!
A: The AVMATRIX SE1217 H.265/264 HDMI Streaming Encoder does provide HTTP(HLS) protocol. The following protocols are provided in the device for streaming applications and decoders: RTMP/HTTP/RTSP/UNICAST/MULTICAST/RTP/SRT
Q: 8. SD card or USB? Which is best for recording audio?
A: The Datavideo H.264 Dual Streaming Encoder/Recorder only has recording onto the SD.
Q: 9. I have an IP camera that can generate h.264 rtp multicast streams. Can the Osprey G2 decode from an IP camera?
A: Yes it should as this decodes H.264 RTP/UDP multicast and unicast streams.
Q: 10. Can this encoder simulcast to more than one platform? (Ex. stream to both Facebook and YouTube simultaneously)
A: Yes. The Osprey® Talon G2 H.264 Encoder has up to three streams that can be sent out simultaneously, originating from a single input stream.
