8-Channel Analog System: High-Quality, High-Density Encoding

IDEAL FOR:

• Government for state or Local Government applications, such as broadcasting government open meetings and remote viewing of multiple traffic/weather cameras
• Security/Military/Law Enforcement for remote viewing of multiple surveillance cameras
• Broadcasters and network service providers for live streaming and mobile TV

The Niagara 8224 includes two of the most versatile ViewCast software applications - Niagara SCX® Pro and SimulStream® - both pre-configured and ready to use. These tools empower you to set up, control and monitor multiple Niagara streaming systems throughout an enterprise or over the network, using a single, easy-to-use interface.

For each channel, you can create multiple streams in different formats in real time, enabling encoding of different streams for Intranet users, high-speed Internet users, dial-up users, and users with mobile devices - all at the same time! You can also size and scale each individual stream, and customize each stream with bitmap overlays (e.g., logos and graphics), closed-caption pre-rendering, etc.

With Niagara SCX Pro and SimulStream, you can capture, encode, stream and archive video in a wide variety of popular encoding and streaming formats.

This level of flexibility and convenience is another reason ViewCast is a global leader in the industry.
