ViewCast is pleased to introduce the Niagara Pro II – the next generation in professional-grade video streaming appliances. This encoder offers the most powerful processors and largest memory capacity of all the Niagara appliances, taking professional streaming to the next level. With its two independent channels, the Niagara Pro II allows you to capture SDI video and encode multiple full-resolution (D1) streams.
The Niagara Pro series is the preferred choice for broadcasters, studios, enterprise IT departments, CDNs and network service providers because it’s loaded with the high-end features that professionals demand. The Niagara Pro II delivers powerful performance in a wide range of applications. With this high-performance, multi-tasking encoder, you can capture, encode and stream video and audio media in a wide variety of popular formats.
The Niagara Pro II includes two of our most versatile software applications – Niagara SCX® Pro and SimulStream® – both pre-configured and ready to use.
ViewCast’s Niagara SCX Pro software adds even more capabilities to this encoder. This innovative tool enables you to remotely set up, control and monitor multiple Niagara streaming encoders throughout an enterprise or over the Internet. You can also control multiple encoding formats from a single interface.
ViewCast’s SimulStream software enables you to create additional streams from the same sources in different formats – encoded independently and simultaneously. This powerful software enables you to stream in multiple resolutions, formats and bit rates – all at the same time.
