ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., 27 Sept. 2016. EIZO Rugged Solutions Inc. in Altamonte Springs, Fla. (formerly Tech Source Inc.), is introducing the Tyton VS2 low-latency, high-efficiency rugged H.265 video encoder for video transmission needs in harsh field environments.

The small form-factor box-level Tyton VS2 has dual 3G-SDI inputs and is MIL-STD-810G and IP67 compliant. It can capture two 3G-SDI inputs simultaneously and encode them using the H.265 (HEVC) or H.264 (AVC) video encoding standards.

Both video inputs can be split internally and routed to each of the product's eight built-in dynamic encoding engines, each individually configurable to different bitrates for mission applications where each incoming video signal can use a high bitrate encoding for local recording and viewing, while a second low bitrate encoding serves downlink transfers over an RF link.

Each of the Tyton VS2's eight dynamic encoding cores can be configured individually to encode to H.264 or H.265 standards using software API settings. The Tyton VS2 also features an internal video (3G-SDI) bypass and overcomes the need for an external video splitter.

The TytonVS2 features a hardware implementation of cursor on target and key length value metadata insertion. Control of encoding settings and retrieval of Tyton VS2 health information are all performed using an API built around SNMP for simple and secure communication. LED indicators on the front provide visual health of the unit and connections.

It is also operating system-independent, hardware agnostic, stand-alone and highly efficient with low power consumption. All configuration is done over an Ethernet connection using SNMP, allowing any operating system to integrate with the unit.

A built-in web-based GUI interface -- accessible from a networked browser -- can alter device configuration. For more information contact EIZO Rugged Solutions online at www.eizorugged.com.
