Tascam VS-R265

VS-R265 and VS-R264 are AV-over-IP streaming encoders/decoders that offer simultaneous encoding, streaming, recording, and decoding of audio/video material in 4K/UHD or Full HD resolution using H.265/HEVC or H.264 video codecs.

They can be used for streaming over corporate networks and WANs, or for live streaming to the Internet with automatic FTP uploading of recorded files to network storage. By using open streaming formats and protocols, both models support content delivery networks and online live platforms such as YouTube, Wowza, Ustream, AWS Elemental MediaLive, CloudFront, and others.

With power over Ethernet or an external 12-volt supply, HDMI input/output with audio embedding and de-embedding, and full control via a RESTful API that allows integration into control and automation systems, these units are extremely versatile. While many other products lack professional audio connectors or levels, do not record at all, or cannot encode and decode simultaneously, the Tascam VS-R264 and VS-R265 have fully balanced audio I/O via Euroblock connectors, with configurable reference levels for compatibility with professional audio systems.

Unbalanced 3.5 mm stereo mini-jacks are also provided for compatibility with consumer devices. Bidirectional AV operation, live online streaming, secure capture to SD media, and subsequent uploading to a website is ideal for live events, conferences, government sessions, boardroom presentations, concert halls, and places of worship, as well as for connections between rooms or locations.

With a compact 1U half-rack size, two units can be rack-mounted side by side. They can also be easily placed on a table or screwed under a shelf with the included mounting bracket.
