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 — all without the need for a plugin2.

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 Features3:

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