It is a single channel video recording and streaming hardware encoder designed for lecture capture, corporate communications, and remote video contribution applications using live SRT feeds. Focus is simple operation for corporate presentations or class lectures and remote operation and administration.

Who is this for? This is made for use in education, corporate, and anywhere where there’s a more distributed set of remote contributors.
