The Niagara 8224 is the ideal solution for the needs of government, security and law enforcement operations through its ability to capture, stream and archive premium-quality audio and video simultaneously on eight fully independent channels. This media encoding system provides a full variety of analog video inputs for each channel, as well as balanced and unbalanced audio. This powerful system is the ideal choice for simultaneously creating select combinations of full- and CIF-resolution streams for your most demanding multi-channel applications, including:
Streaming open meetings or multiple traffic cameras for state and local governments
Remotely viewing surveillance cameras for security, military and law enforcement
Capturing and encoding live video for streaming to mobile devices
Capturing and compressing video for digital media archiving
The Niagara 8224 includes two of ViewCast's most versatile software applications - Niagara SCX® Pro and SimulStream® - both pre-configured and ready to use. These tools empower you to set up, control and monitor multiple Niagara streaming systems throughout an enterprise or over the network, using a single, easy-to-use interface.
For each channel, you can create multiple streams in different formats in real time*, enabling encoding of different streams for Intranet users, high-speed Internet users, dial-up users, and users with mobile devices - all at the same time! You can also size and scale each individual stream, and customize each stream with bitmap overlays (e.g., logos and graphics), closed-caption pre-rendering, etc.
With Niagara SCX Pro and SimulStream, you can capture, encode, stream and archive video in a wide variety of popular encoding and streaming formats, including:
MPEG-4 Part 2
H.263
H.264
Windows Media (Silverlight™ compatible)
Adobe® Flash® capture to file
RealVideo
Uncompressed AVI capture to file
This level of flexibility and convenience is another reason ViewCast is a global leader in the industry.
* Niagara SCX allows complete control over each stream's capture size and other parameters that can cumulatively affect system performance due to the limitations of CPU speed and other internal factors. Contact ViewCast's Application Support team to ensure that the Niagara 8224 can support your combination of channels, frame sizes, bitrates, multiple-format encodes, etc.
