h.264 Decoder with SDI output

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi,

I need equipment suggestions for a hardware h.264 decoder with SDI output. The decoder would connect to a Wowza stream via the internet and output it via SDI.

Regards,

Manuel.-

Hi Manuel,

Sorry, I have no recommendations with anything other than an HDMI output. You can certainly use an HDMI->SDI offboard converter, but that’s running up the cost of the solution.

Maybe a member of the community will post a suggestion here?

You may also want to contact some of the hardware encoder vendors. They frequently build decoder boxes with SDI outputs, but most are setup to be a matched pair speaking a proprietary protocol.

We have 4 set top boxes we’ve tested in this list:

Several of them are available with an HDMI output.
