Ultra Low Latency 4-channel Video Streaming Appliance

The microHydra-SD4 is a 4-channel Ultra Low Latency (ULL) IP video streaming appliance, capable of capturing, compressing and concurrently streaming up to 4 channels of NTSC/PAL/RS-170 video with a latency of under 40ms. This rugged video appliance is ideal for rapid deployment in demanding applications in Military, Communications, Transportation and Energy industries.

The microHydra-SD4 features a dedicated hardware H.264 compression engine that can encode all 4 video channels at full size and frame-rate. The flexible RTSP/RTP streaming engine supports Unicast and Multicast and streams each channel over the GigE Ethernet to client systems for low latency viewing and analysis. The microHyrda-SD4 also supports 4 channels of audio which can be captured and streamed with the video data.

The microHydra-SD4 is housed in a rugged, watertight, conduction cooled, IP67 rated enclosure with sealed MIL-D38999 connectors and is ready to be installed into mobile platforms and harsh environments.
