Product Description
The SAFARI Montage Broadcast Encoder is a small form factor, single-input HD encoder that
combines support for HLS Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) HTML5-native playback, traditional UDP
multicasting, and low latency video streaming to public CDNs such as YouTube Live and Vimeo.
These next generation encoders integrate seamlessly with SAFARI Montage IPTV & Live Media
Streaming solutions to support delivery to mobile devices, Chromebooks, and all of the latest browsers.
They provide full, native HTML5-compatible playback and dynamically serve the optimal stream and
bitrate to each client – all without the need for a plugin.
The SAFARI Montage Broadcast Encoder is ideal for streaming school news, and supports up to 120
clients (classroom s) directly. When paired with this encoder, SAFARI Montage IPTV & Live Media
Streaming solutions will dynamically select the optimal streaming format through client auto-detection,
delivering UDP multicast or HLS ABR unicast streams.
