SAFARI Montage® Broadcast Encoder



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 latency1 video streaming to most Content Delivery Networks.

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.

The SAFARI Montage Broadcast Encoder is ideal for streaming school news, and supports up to 120 clients (classrooms) 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.

Key Features:

  • HLS Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Streaming
  • Support for traditional UDP multicasting
  • Low latency live video stream, which drastically reduces delays typically inherent in unicast streaming
  • Auto-Updates to encoder software via SAFARI Montage API
  • Integrated player provides direct playback option from encoder
  • Designed on the Intel NUC embedded platform for worry free 24 x 7 operation
  • Live streams resume automatically following video input or power interruptions

Advanced Features2:

  • Stream to most Content Delivery Networks
  • Enhanced integration and centralized management of encoder settings and status via robust SAFARI Montage API
