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.

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

Several of them are available with an HDMI output.
