Product Overview

The C6 Encoder is a professional 4K H.265 video encoding device featuring dual HDMI and SDI inputs with loop-through capabilities, designed to be compatible with a wide range of video capture equipment.

• HDMI: Supports HDMI 2.0 standard, accommodating video input and encoding up to 3840×2160P @ 30Hz.
• SDI: Supports SMPTE 424M (3G-SDI), SMPTE 292M (HD-SDI), and SMPTE 259M (SD-SDI), accommodating video input and encoding up to 1920×1080p @ 60Hz.

The C6 offers advanced signal processing capabilities. When both HDMI and SDI signals are connected, users can select either source for encoding or combine both signals into a Picture-in-Picture (PiP) layout. Both Main and Sub streams support the overlay of up to 8 OSD layers (including text, images, and system time).

With support for H.264, H.265, and NDI|HX2 encoding formats, the C6 enables multi-protocol simultaneous streaming and recording with bitrates up to 40Mbps. It is an ideal solution for sports broadcasting, conference recording, education, medical imaging, and various live event scenarios.
