The Maevex 5100 Series encoders and decoders can stream or record up to 1080p60 video and audio over a standard IP network at user-defined low bitrates for excellent quality and minimal network bandwidth consumption. These cost-effective single-channel Full HD encoders and decoders use the RTSP streaming protocol and the H.264 video compression standard. The Maevex 5100 Series encoders can stream to Maevex decoders or any device or PC that supports H.264 and RTSP. It can also record to a shared network or NAS drive. Highly energy-efficient, fanless and backed with industry-leading reliability, the Maevex 5100 Series is sure to meet your encoding/decoding needs.
Coupled with Maevex PowerStream Plus Software, the Maevex 5100 Series delivers reliable, easy, and flexible discovery and management of all Maevex devices and features, including even the Maevex 6100 Series devices, ensuring complete reach and control over the entire Maevex network.
