The Telairity BE8000 is a scalable, fully programmable, broadcast encoder for HD video compression using the state-of-the-art Main profile, Level 4 H.264/AVC standard.

Delivering real time performance, the BE8000 features the company’s AVClairity compression which is software-upgradeable to enable future quality, feature, and FRext standard enhancements.

The BE8000 accepts 720p and 1080i (4:2:2) uncompressed HD video and up to four channels of embedded HD-SDI audio inputs. The system features MPEG4 AAC audio encoding for the highest quality audio at the lowest compressed bit rate.

Users can select between constant bit rate (CBR) or variable bit rate (VBR) encoding options with bit rates ranging up to 20 Mbps. Compressed video and audio is output on an MPEG2 transport stream via DVB ASI or 100 Base-T Ethernet.
