CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
VS-2001-ENC is a live streaming media encoder that interfaces with HDMI signals for delivering media over IP networks. VS-2001-
ENC can be used with a third-party decoder such as a set-top box, a VLC and Kodi media player on PCs to provide complete end-to-
end streaming systems. It features one HDMI input and one Ethernet output for simplified integration into AV systems.
VS-2001-ENC uses standards-based H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding and MPEG-2 transport streams, and outputs IP streams that
can easily be decoded and viewed on the third party decoders. The multicast streams are output and can be received and decoded
by multiple decoders. Up to ten RTSP sessions can work simultaneously. Encoding controls provide adjustments for bit rate and
quality. VS-2001-ENC offers integration-friendly control features: LAN (Web GUI and Telnet), providing simple, flexible control and
management options.
By extending AV signals over networks, VS-2001-ENC significantly expands AV system capability.
2.2 FEATURES/BENEFITS
2.2.1 FEATURES
Standards-based H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression —VS-2001-ENC employs the High Profile of the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
compression standard.
Selectable audio encoding control from LPCM and AAC — LPCM offers a fixed audio encoding bit rate while AAC features variable
audio compression, available to support different streaming bit rate requirements.
Encapsulates A/V output data into MPEG-2 transport stream. The program number can be altered.
Delivers TS data through UDP or RTP. Both unicast and multicast are supported.
Supports RTSP by which a client entity can build a session and play the media content. Up to ten RTSP sessions can work
simultaneously.
Supports output rate limit. With the unique design of the encoder’s rate limit control mechanism, the device can smooth the output
rate and make output data successfully pass through networks with strict bandwidth limits.
LAN (Web GUI & Telnet) control -- VS-2001-ENC is controllable over Ethernet, available for an intuitive web page control as well as
Telnet CLI control using API commands.
Supports PoE to be remotely powered by a piece of compatible power source equipment such as a PoE switch, eliminating the need
for a nearby power outlet.
2.2.2 BENEFITS
Input: one HDMI input
Supports a wide range of resolutions for input signals from standard definition to 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz, including 1920 x 1080 @ 60
Hz and 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
Output: one 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet output
Output resolutions follow input
Streams HDMI signals over IP networks
Capable of outputting IP streams that can easily be decoded and viewed on the VS-2001-DEC or third-party decoders. The multicast
streams are output and can be received and decoded by multiple decoders.
