Product Presentation

The Pro460 is our latest generation of mobile video encoder and transmitter designed for live video producers (sports, concert, etc.) and news gathering professionals looking for video delivery performance from any location around the world. Multi-camera production in HD or single pristine 4K UHD capabilities are combined with mission-critical transmission in this 5G compliant solution.

With its compact form factor, the Pro460 supports the latest generation of UHD H.265/HEVC hardware encoders by offering premium video quality with optimized data usage and low end-to-end latency (down to 0.2 sec). The widely adopted H.264/AVC format is still supported for compliancy with deployed infrastructures. Our innovative design enables multiple encoding and transmission workflows from single HD source for news, to multiple HD sources (up to 4) for sports, through single 4K UHD for premium events coverage.

With Pro460, all required features for Remote Production or At-Home Production workflows are fulfilled. It supports perfect video synchronization and lip sync across multiple cameras in a venue to guarantee seamless camera switching and efficient video editing in the remote production studio. Our solution also enables remote control of network-based devices such as PTZ cameras and tally lights.

Our solution is camera agnostic and runs simultaneously with live transmission. In addition, the Pro460 supports low delay and high-quality video delivery from the studio to field units. Also known as Video Return, this feature allows delivering teleprompting information or studio feed to the field. Bi-directional audio intercom is also available for communication between the field and the studio.

The Pro460 embeds 6 world-wide compliant 3G/4G/5G cellular modems with high efficiency custom patented antennas. The transmission can also operate on other networks such as WiFi, Ka or Ku band satellite, IP leased line or even over the Internet. It is made possible thanks to our Emmy® awarded SST Technology (Safe Stream Transport). This technology offers advanced techniques for network aggregation, Adaptive packet Retransmission (ARQ) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) to reach the upper network throughput and maximize the Quality of Service. It ensures the delivery of video even in the midst of unpredictable and unmanaged network conditions by:

Aggregating simultaneously multiple network connections,
Dynamically adapting the video bitrate according to network bandwidth fluctuations,
Protecting stream content,
Supporting retransmission of lost data.
