Teradek Slice 756 | H.265/H.264(HEVC/AVC) Rack Mount H.265 Encoder

Rack Mount H.265 Encoder

Slice is a rack mount HD-SDI high profile H.265/H.264 (HEVC/AVC) encoder and decoder solution for mission critical enterprise applications. Slice enables video professionals to broadcast low latency high definition 1080p video for IPTV, streaming servers, OTT content, set-top boxes, and recorders at an unprecedented price.

Comprehensive Protocol Support

Slice encoders output a variety of stream types, including MPEG Transport Stream, RTMP, RTSP, and RTP Multicast.

Core Fleet Management

Core is Teradek's new cloud-based encoder fleet management system. From a single elegant web GUI, you can monitor and control all of your Teradek encoders, cellular bonding systems, and decoders effortlessly. The interface allows you to direct streams from any one encoder to any number of decoders, even if both are behind firewalls or on private networks. All the encoding and transmission parameters can be controlled remotely from any location, allowing your field reporters to focus on the content and not the transmission gear. The automatic device discovery and drag and drop workflow makes entering IP addresses a thing of the past, while customizable warnings and notifications ensure that things keep operating smoothly.

Changes and Improvements

• Improved audio/video sync robustness - see auto format conversion option above
• Improved decoder stability
• Bitrate can be changed without interrupting broadcasts
• Web UI mobile display improvements -- Removed separate scrolling panels in web UI and other improvements
• Use FFMPEG to generate HLS segments
• Moved Sputnik selection into 'Advanced Settings' on cloud services page

7xx encoders and decoders

• Quickview stream defaults to H.264

Bug Fixes

• Bond module was sometimes not detected
• Core-enabled Sputnik listing did not display all servers
• Network connections could be reset when connecting/disconnecting modems
• HTTP Live segment size, playlist length settings were ignored
