Teradek Cube 205/455 1-Channel HDMI Encoder/Decoder Pair

The Teradek Cube 205/455 1-Channel HDMI Encoder/Decoder Pair includes a Cube 205 HDMI encoder and a Cube 455 HDMI decoder. This pair is called a Cubelet and is capable of very low latency (approximately 3 to 4 frames). The Cubelet provides an easy-to-use, point-to-point streaming solution. Both these units are paired and automatically connect with one another over an ad-hoc or Wi-Fi network.

The Cube 205/455 bundle offers an HDMI input/HDMI output and features a hardened aluminum chassis, low power consumption, and a variety of network connectivity options (RJ-45 Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, and USB port for 3G/4G modems). This bundle provides a high-definition, end-to-end streaming video solution that eliminates the need for PC-based decoding. The 205/455 bundle is particularly useful for news gathering and independent filmmaking.

Both Cube 205 encoder and Cube 455 decoder include an OLED that enables users to change and review the settings of their unit, in addition to providing real-time feedback for filenames, recording status, and wireless connectivity.

The Cube 205 encoder includes comprehensive transport protocol support like RTP/RTSP/RTMP/MPEG-TS. This Cube 205 comes with a headphone output for immediate audio monitoring and a micro USB port that charges the internal battery. This encoder supports dozens of content delivery networks (CDNs), including Ustream, Justin.tv, Livestream, and Youtube Live.

The Cube 455 decoder features a MIMO access point that improves wireless performance and enables special features such as wireless camera control for devices without a built-in Wi-Fi capability, and ensures improved connectivity from an iPad or Android tablets (sold separately).

Thanks to the built-in Li-Ion battery of the Cube 455 decoder, users get up to 2 hours of runtime, allowing seamless battery swapping or quick broadcasts. The battery can also be charged from an AC adapter or even a suitable external battery such as an Anton Bauer.
