With the MAX Encoder and Decoder, audio and video sources can easily be delivered across any IP network simultaneously for broadcast to limitless locations, anywhere, at any time.

6 With the MAX Encoder and Decoder, audio and video sources can easily be delivered across any IP network simultaneously for broadcast to limitless locations, anywhere, at any time. The Encoder provides real-time encoding of audio or video content into MPEG2/4 formats for delivery across any IP network and directly to the Decoder for immediate viewing. WHAT THAT MEANS TO YOU. Send digital photos, DVD movies, CD music and other audio/video from one room in your home to another, or to all of them at once. Your home s IP network represents the pathway to your connected electronics, while the Encoder and Decoder does all the work. For example, during a must-see televised event, you can simultaneously stream your satellite receiver s signal to a variety of display devices, such as televisions, plasma screens, projectors and AMX Modero Touch Panels. It all happens seamlessly and in real time, giving your family and friends the luxury of watching from any room in your home. ANALOG TO DIGITAL. And back again. The Encoder and Decoder solution takes analog, turns it into digital, sends it out over the network, and translates it back again. All you need to know is that there are a variety of electronic devices out there that output an analog signal and others that only accept analog. This includes DVD and VCR players, satellite receivers, surveillance cameras, plasma screens and television. IDEAL SCENARIOS. From a Super Bowl party to a family reunion. Network a television in every room, so you can stream the real-time satellite or cable signal over your IP network to each connected display. The Encoder and Decoder handle the translation of signals to deliver this type of multicast, which ensures that everyone gets to enjoy the action on the field or your home movies, no matter where they are at that moment. The possibilities are endless. STREAMING REAL TIME AUDIO/VIDEO OVER IP encoder/decoder MAX-CSE MAX-CSD
