1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
NVP-903 are network video encoder and decoder series, which are specialized for high definition
real-time video streaming applications. It provides flexible streaming for low-bandwidth transmission
applications using H.264 video and AAC audio encoding, supporting FLV over RTMP streaming output,
thus seamlessly connecting to streaming media server. The third generation NVP series encoder –
NVP-903, support 3 encoding streams output for multi-screen application. Moreover, NVP-903
integrates H.264 decoding functions with HDMI output, to form a versatile media delivery solution over
IP network.
Integrated with Caton leading R2TP technology, NVP-903 and NVP decoders can also realize
high quality live video contribution and distribution over Open Internet.
