By David Smith

LYNX Technik, a provider of modular signal processing solutions, will showcase its new 12G-SDI, HDMI H.264/265 streamer and recorder at ISE 2025 on stand 5F900. As the company’s latest advancement in professional streaming and recording technology, the PEC 1464 is the successor to the PEC 1864 for AV media production and broadcasting.

The company says the PEC 1464 H.264/265 encoder offers a versatile solution for users who need to stream and record content simultaneously. Users can choose to stream content while recording, stream-only in unicast or multicast, or record-only. 

The PEC 1464 support various applications in broadcast and production including: 

  1. Streaming and archiving: Stream live events or broadcasts to a content delivery network (CDN) while creating a backup recording for archive.
  2. Live content distribution: Stream to a CDN for global distribution or multicast a video feed within a network.
  3. Multicast professional media production and streaming: Distribute a single stream of audio and video content to multiple recipients simultaneously.
  4. Online video platform streaming: Stream live video to popular online video providers like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.

PEC 1464 feature enhancements include 12G support and compatibility with SRT (secure reliable transport), a video transport protocol that optimises streaming performance across public networks e.g. the internet. It also supports RTMPS (real-time messaging protocol secure), which provides a higher level of security for live streaming. It also streams multiple protocols simultaneously.

This new yellobrik supports video formats up to 12G / 4K UHD and HDMI up to WQUXGA, as well as all popular streaming formats. Video processing capabilities encompass a wide range of functionalities to enhance content presentation. This includes automatic logo insertion and the ability to insert custom images. Downscaling features optimise resolution management, while frame rate down conversion supports playback compatibility.

Text overlay capabilities further enrich content with dynamic textual elements. LYNX says the versatile logo inserter supports multiple formats and additionally, a transmission fallback option ensures continuity with a test pattern when needed. It also includes 8-channel embedded audio processing.

The mobile-friendly web user interface is included for settings configuration, and the PEC 1484 is compatible with the LynxCentraal configuration and control software.

LYNX Technik will be at ISE2025 on stand 5F900, with partner Craltech Electronica.
