What are the benefits of the Phenix Hardware Encoder?

Phenix encoders are built specifically to meet the demands of real-time streaming and enable Phenix customers to input raw HD-SDI or HDMI signals. The encoders are comprised of off-the-shelf, rack-mountable servers paired with Phenix real-time encoding software. Unlike traditional encoders, they require no special tuning or configuration to create a multi-bitrate video signal in real-time while maintaining high quality and under 500ms end-to-end latency.
