ReGen LIVE Polystream 3G SDI Encoder
A broadcast-grade encoder for the SDI world: professional camera chains, OB vans, and studio racks where the signal arrives over coax. It takes a 3G-SDI feed, encodes up to 1080p60 in H.265 or H.264, pushes four simultaneous outputs, and loops the untouched SDI signal through to the rest of the chain — silent, passively cooled, and remotely manageable through RemoteGenius wherever the rack lives.
- 1080p60 capture over a single coax run, with SDI loop-through to downstream gear
- Program stream plus 1080 / 720 / 576 substreams — four outputs at once
- RTMP(S), SRT, HLS, RTSP, UDP unicast / multicast transports
- Embedded SDI audio or 3.5 mm analog input
- Remote management via RemoteGenius API (molfarMQ protocol)
- Resolution
- 1080p60
- Codec
- H.265 / H.264
- Concurrent Streams
- 4×
- Power
- < 5 W
In Detail
Locking BNC I/O on a milled aluminium body with fully passive cooling — no fan noise near open microphones. DIN-rail and rack-shelf mounting included for truck and machine-room installs.
