The Ultra Encode family of live media encoders offers systems integrators, streaming professionals and OEM partners a powerful range of flexible, reliable and cost-effective encoding solutions for applications including live streaming, AV over IP, remote contribution, IP production and workflows and much more.

Flexible Format and Protocol Support

The Ultra Encode family supports H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) encoding and a wide range of streaming protocols including RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, RTP, HLS, and TVU’s ISSP technology. Support for NDI® HX video connectivity technology also makes the Ultra Encode family ideal for IP-based production and distribution.

Powerful Live Streaming to Multiple Platforms

For live streaming applications, Ultra Encode devices can stream to multiple target destinations simultaneously. Configurable presets enable easy streaming to popular platforms including YouTube™ Live, Facebook™ Live and more.

Pair with Pro Convert

Ultra Encode devices can be combined with Magewell’s multi-format Pro Convert decoders to form robust, end-to-end, live media transport infrastructures using NDI® HX or streaming formats.

Centralized Management

All Ultra Encode models can be centrally configured and controlled through our powerful Control Hub management software (sold separately). You can easily manage multiple Ultra Encode devices across multiple locations through an intuitive, browser-based interface.
