Main Features

1. Bidirectional Codec Conversion

FMUSER’s transcoder eliminates format limitations by enabling simultaneous real-time conversion between MPEG-2 and H.264 codecs in both directions. This flexibility ensures seamless integration into hybrid broadcast workflows, allowing operators to future-proof legacy systems while adopting modern IP-based standards.

• Dual-Direction Transcoding: Convert MPEG-2 to H.264 and H.264 to MPEG-2 concurrently, ideal for hybrid SD/HD workflows.
• Any-to-Any Format Support: Transcode SD/HD resolutions between MPEG-2 (MPEG-2 SD/HD) and H.264 (H.264 SD/HD) with adaptive bitrate control (CBR/VBR).
• Multi-Program Capacity: Process up to 8 SD or 4 HD programs simultaneously, optimizing bandwidth efficiency.

2. Advanced IPTV & Network Integration

Designed for IPTV ecosystems, this transcoder bridges traditional broadcast and modern IP distribution with robust streaming protocols and network redundancy.

• RTSP Server for CDN Compatibility: Deliver outputs via RTSP/RTP/UDP, ensuring direct integration with cloud media servers and CDNs.
• Hybrid Input/Output: Combine 6x DVB-ASI inputs and 8x IP inputs (SPTS/MPTS) for versatile signal aggregation.
• Remultiplexing & Optimization: Generate 1x MPTS (ASI/UDP) and 8x SPTS (UDP/RTSP) outputs with null packet filtering to maximize bandwidth utilization.

3. Flexible Audio/Video Customization

Tailor every program independently with granular control over audio and video parameters, ensuring compliance with diverse distribution requirements.

• Audio Transcoding Flexibility: Convert between LC-AAC, MP2, and AC3 formats or bypass audio for pass-through workflows.
• Resolution Scaling: Downscale HD to SD resolutions without external processing, reducing hardware overhead.
• Closed Caption & BISS Support: Preserve closed captions (CC) and decrypt BISS-encrypted feeds directly within the transcoder.

4. Enterprise-Grade Control & Monitoring

Simplify system management with intuitive interfaces designed for remote and local operation, minimizing downtime and technical complexity.

• Browser-Based NMS: Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot via FMUSER’s secure web interface (HTTPS), accessible from any device.
• Dual Control Modes: Use the built-in LCD/keyboard for onsite adjustments or leverage remote API integration for centralized workflows.
• Reliable Redundancy: IP output redundancy ensures uninterrupted streaming, critical for mission-critical broadcast environments.

5. Broadcast-Optimized Performance

Engineered for 24/7 reliability, this transcoder delivers broadcast-grade quality with features tailored for high-demand applications.

• Multi-Format Compatibility: Supports MPEG-2/H.264 SD/HD, DVB-ASI, and IP (UDP/RTP/RTSP) for universal interoperability.
• Low-Latency Processing: Real-time hardware encoding minimizes delay, ideal for live event streaming and contribution feeds.
• Scalable Architecture: Expand capacity seamlessly to meet growing channel demands without compromising performance.
