The ATOM-Box is a versatile USB recorder and streaming encoder in a compact form factor. Designed for multiple broadcast and AV applications it allows low cost recording of sport, studio productions, compliance video, and music on to a USB drive as H.264 encoded MPEG-4 files. These files can be played back on virtually any computer, mobile device, and modern smart TVs, making this file format an almost universal playback medium.
The ATOM-Box is also a high quality streaming encoder that can stream files to the Internet for others to view live while also making a recording — it’s one box with two functions! It is fully equipped with a full range of input interfaces including HD/SD-SDI, DVI, VGA, YUV, AV and HDMI.
The ATOM-Box a flexible platform that can be used as a standalone device or rack mounted in a 1RU chassis when multiple recorders are required. One of its many benefits is that it’s simple to use; insert a USB drive, press the REC/ STOP button for instant recording, then press it again to stop. For streaming video and audio, press the STREAM/STOP button for live video over IP. For optimizing recording and streaming performance, a simple Web UI is available for accessing the ATOM-Box's recording and streaming parameters.
The use of the H.264 codec ensures high-quality recordings encoded as MPEG-4 files with impressive video and audio quality for resolutions of up to 1920x1080p/60 with AAC audio bit rates up to 384 kHz and a sample rate of 48 kHz at 16-bit. The Web UI provides adjustable bit rate, standard or high profile MPEG-4 or TS, and users can further optimize the TS transport stream signals for streaming such as TCP/UDP (unicast or multicast), RTSP over HTTP/TCP/UDP in the form of elementary stream, RTMP (local or publish), and HLS.
The ATOM-Box is a highly affordable, versatile, and compact USB recorder with a flexible design that accepts a wide range of analog and digital video signals, enabling simultaneous recording and streaming.
