TASCAM VS-R264 Full HD AV Over IP Streaming Encoder / Decoder

The VS-R264 is a Full HD AV over IP streaming encoder and decoder that simultaneously records, encodes, streams, and decodes Full HD video streams (1920x1080) using H.264 long GOP encoding with bit rates up to 30 megabits over standard networks suitable for 100Mbps or 1Gbps.

V1.1.0 adds support for three simultaneous RTMP streams for distribution to multiple platforms, as well as simultaneous backup distribution to the server of the same streaming service.
The total number of simultaneous streams is eight (3 x RTMP / RTMPS、 1 x RTSP、1 x HLS、2 x RTP / UDP Unicast, 1 x RTP / UDP Multicast)

The VS-R264 live stream encoder addresses the growing demand for an external stand-alone YouTube encoder in live streaming environments. Additionally, the VS-R264 provides Full HD streaming to popular Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) including Wowza, Ustream, AWS Elemental MediaLive and CloudFront, to name a few.
The half-rack size VS-R264 functions as a stand-alone unit—no external computer is needed for recording or streaming.

Output selectable from various streams
The decoder can receive RTP, UDP unicast, RTP/UDP multicast, RTMP/RTMPS, and HLS streams. The selected stream will be decoded, and the audio and video will be output through the HDMI terminal. In addition, audio can be simultaneously output through the balanced (Euroblock) and unbalanced (3.5mm stereo mini jack) audio outputs.

The Mac/Windows "TASCAM DISCOVERY" app allows multiple VS-R units connected to the network to be managed from a simple Web-browser based GUI. All configuration settings are saved within the VS-R devices, so that in normal operation no computer is needed for streaming or recording.

PoE+ functionality eliminates the need for AC adaptors in AV installations. Optional TASCAM AC power supply sold separately where external AC power is required.

Power supply also can be done by the optional AC adapter (TASCAM PS-P1220E; sold separately)
