3G-SDI to IP Video Encoder & IP to 3G-SDI Decoder
Dual-Function Video Encoding and Decoding for Professional IP Video Systems
This 3G-SDI video encoder and IP decoder is designed for professional video streaming, IP video transmission, remote monitoring, and video distribution applications. It supports 3G-SDI input and output up to 1080p60, with H.264/H.265 video processing and a range of IP streaming protocols.
The device can be configured for SDI-to-IP encoding or IP-to-SDI decoding, making it suitable for point-to-point video transmission, live streaming workflows, and integration into existing video systems.
Available configurations:
-
3G-SDI to IP Encoder: Accepts an SDI video signal, encodes it, and transmits the video stream over an IP network.
-
IP to 3G-SDI Decoder: Receives a compatible IP video stream, decodes it, and outputs video through the 3G-SDI interface.
-
Encoder and Decoder Pair: Use a compatible encoder and decoder together to transport video over an Ethernet network.
Please confirm the required configuration, protocol compatibility, and licensing options before ordering.

Important Notes Before Ordering
-
The SDI input and output support up to 1080p60. The advertised 4K30 capability refers to decoding performance, not 4K SDI connectivity.
-
NDI HX operation requires the appropriate license.
-
Encoding and decoding channel counts depend on the selected operating mode and configuration.
-
Optional Wi-Fi and USB-connected 4G/5G functions depend on compatible hardware and modem support.
-
Please specify whether you need an SDI-to-IP encoder, an IP-to-SDI decoder, or a complete encoder-decoder pair.
-
For SRT, NDI HX, ONVIF, GB28181, or multi-channel projects, please confirm the required workflow and compatibility before purchase.
