Thor H-1HD-EMS series HD program encoder to accept one input of uncompressed HD-SDI or HDMI digital video through a BNC connector or HDMI HDCP Compliant input. Managed through any modern web browser, each encoder can be Independently adjusted for bit rate, codecs, video and image qualities. Encoding support for MPEG-2 or H.264 codec along with Dolby AC/3 Audio ensures the TS programs generated by this encoder can be viewed by virtually every TV in the United States. The output stream can multiplex into an ASI output MPTS on mirrored BNC terminals. The ASI output can be directly connected to the ASI input on a QAM-IP digital TV channel modulator.
