RACK400

The RACK400 is the latest generation of video encoder from Haivision designed for space-constrained live production, including contribution applications and remote/at-home productions. Multi-camera production in HD or single pristine 4K UHD capabilities are combined with mission-critical transmission in this compact half 1U solution.

The RACK400 is a promise to reduce on-site infrastructure costs (CAPEX) and operating costs such as on-site team (OPEX) while covering more live events and producing more contents.

The encoder is designed to be deployed on fixed/remote locations, directly connected to wired IP networks, offering a real cost-effective alternative to satellite or fiber.

The solution is also suitable for installing in vans or trucks, connected to a roof-mounted Haivision QUAD CellLink (active 3G/4G multi-antennas) and/or Ka satellite, enabling video broadcast from any place around the globe, even in the midst of unpredictable and unmanaged network conditions.

The RACK400 supports the upmost generation of UHD H.265/HEVC hardware encoder by offering premium video quality with optimized data usage and low end-to-end latency (down to 0,2 sec). The widely adopted H.264/AVC format is still supported for compliancy with deployed infrastructures.

The innovative design enables multiple encoding and transmission workflows from single HD source for News, to multiple HD sources (up to 4) for sports, through single 4K UHD for premium events coverage.

• Dual encoding for simultaneous Live & Record (single HD mode)
• Sub second glass-to-glass latency (down to 200 ms for single encoder mode and down to 500 ms for multi-encoder mode)
• Video and Audio level preview
• Intercom/IFB
• Video return from Studio (full HD, sub-second latency)
• Automatic Live Start
• Networks Links priorities (user configurable)
• Data Bridge for switching the device as mobile router
• Simultaneous Live and IP traffic (for remote camera control)
