What Is an HDMI Encoder

HDMI encoders take high-definition video and audio from sources like cameras, computers, or other HDMI devices and transform them into compressed digital streams (H.265/H.264). These streams can be delivered over IP networks for purposes such as live broadcasting, recording, or remote viewing. ORIVISION offers a diverse lineup, ranging from compact single-channel encoders suitable for classrooms and live events to multi-channel, rack-mounted systems built for studios, control rooms, and broadcast facilities. Every model ensures low-latency performance, 4K resolution support, and compatibility with a wide array of protocols (RTSP, RTMPS, RTMP, SRT, HTTP, HLS, FLV, RTP, UTP, NDI), meeting the demands of professional environments across multiple industries.

The ORIVISION HDMI Encoder series provides systems integrators, streaming specialists, and OEM partners with robust, versatile, and cost-efficient encoding solutions. These devices are ideal for live streaming, AV-over-IP setups, remote contributions, IP-based production workflows, and many other professional applications.

Compression & Codec Support (H.264, H.265, MJPEG, NDI)

 H.264 is widely used and compatible with most devices;

 H.265 (HEVC) provides improved compression for lower bandwidth at comparable quality, though support across devices is more limited;

 MJPEG is less efficient but simpler, making it useful for surveillance or applications requiring very low latency;

 NDI allows seamless integration with IP networks and live production workflows.

Input / Output Channel Count

 Single-channel models are ideal for straightforward setups;

 Multi-channel units (4, 8, etc.) handle more complex streaming scenarios;

 Loop-out or passthrough HDMI outputs allow for local monitoring of the signal.
