Haivision Rack 400 Video Encoder – 4K UHD & Multi-HD Encoder
Elevate your remote production to the next level with Haivision Rack, the compact rack-mountable encoder designed for live events and sports streaming. Rack streams pristine video quality over unmanaged networks.
The Haivision Rack400 is a compact video encoder for multi-camera HD, 4K UHD, and HDR remote production of live sports and news. The Rack400 includes hardware accelerated H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC encoding for premium video quality with optimized bandwidth usage and end-to-end latency as low as 200ms.
For multi-camera broadcast contribution, up to four HD encodes, the Rack400 supports video and audio stream synchronization for seamless camera switching at production. The Rack400 can also connect to PTZ cameras and tally lights for remote control by a Haivision StreamHub receiver, even during live transmissions. To facilitate communications between field operators and production staff, the Rack400 offers video return feeds and a bidirectional audio intercom (IFB).
Designed for both fixed and mobile deployments, the Rack400 can be used as a standalone appliance or up to 2 units can be rackmounted in a 1RU space making it ideally suited for installation in OB vans. Rack400 encoders can be directly connected over wired IP networks, to mobile networks using the Haivision Quad CellLink active cellular antennas, or Ka satellite transmitters, enabling live video broadcasting from anywhere.
Simple
The Rack400 is extremely user-friendly and features an intuitive touch-screen user interface enabling camera operators to begin broadcasting live video with just 2 taps.
Versatile
The Rack400 is a versatile all-in-one solution for mobile video contribution and remote production. Encode and transmit a single 4K UHD source or four simultaneous HD sources with up to 10-bit pixel depths, 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, and in HDR.
High Performance
By implementing an ultra-low latency H.265/HEVC hardware encoder in a compact design enclosure, the Rack400 enables video professionals to provide seamless and pristine video for news and events coverage.
