Offering 4x BNC bi-directional 12G-SDI ports in a compact 1RU enclosure, BRIDGE LIVE 12G-4 unlocks cost-efficient multi-camera\/source UltraHD IP video, decreasing per-channel video costs. It also enables broadcast, production, and AV professionals to easily convert video between SDI and industry-standard IP video codecs and protocols, such as H.264, H.265, NDI, SRT, RTMP, and HLS, addressing essential encoding, decoding, and transcoding needs across live video environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in partnership with the streaming experts at Comprimato, BRIDGE LIVE 12G-4 supports a range of live production, remote workflow, multi-camera podcast, web-based programming, security and surveillance, and over-the-top (OTT) content delivery needs. It enables secure, reliable multi-channel video backhaul over the public internet, offering a cost-efficient alternative to satellite, dedicated lines, or fiber networks. Professionals can also leverage the device for multi-camera streaming to content delivery networks, such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and Twitch, or for encoding produced video for high quality IPTV and OTT distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBRIDGE LIVE 12G-4 can create adaptive bitrate channels directly from SDI sources, like H.264 or HEVC, for hand-off with ABR ladder profiles encoding. Additionally, it can serve SDI video encoding for live productions, where video is delivered as the intended or intermediate format, like H.264\/5, 4:2:0. This allows telco, IPTV, and cable operators to leverage the output for further processing or direct streaming to their networks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBRIDGE LIVE 12G-4: 12G-SDI I\/O supports Multi-Channel UHD (up to 4x channels)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBidirectional Encode\/Decode\/Transcode; NDI, H.265 (HEVC), H.264 (AVC, MPEG-4), H.262 (MPEG-2), JPEG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2000* (TR-01), and JPEG XS* (TR-07)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronous Multi-Channel \/ Multi-System Transport for SDI Backhaul or Cloud Delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtocols: SRT, UDP, HLS, RTP, RTMP\/S, MPTS (input)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransports: MPEG-TS, NDI, AVC-TS, Fragmented MP4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNDI Multiple Discovery Server and NDI Groups support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-bit rate\/format distribution, ABR Ladder Profiles for OTT hand-off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable profiles for 12, 10, and 8-bit, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 depending on the codec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnmatched metadata capabilities including MPEG-2 ANC, SMPTE 2038, Ad insertion markers (SCTE-35\/SCTE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e104), CC\/Subtitles (EIA-608\/708, Line 21, H.264 SEI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHitless Redundancy via ST 2022-7 and SRT 1.5.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDR\/SDR from SDI source to SDI destination in BRIDGE LIVE end-to-end configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote WebUI or local GUI for easy administration, control, and operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitoring, Control, and Automation supported via REST API or SNMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurnkey 1RU rackmountable, enterprise class form factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 10 GigE interface for control and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual power supplies for critical application redundancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree year warranty** \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*JPEG 2000 and JPEG XS I\/O options are available as purchasable licenses.
