Standalone HDMI hardware encoder — stream without a PC.
Ask us a quick question about this product — signal compatibility, use case fit, or anything technical. We usually reply the same day.
The Ultra Encode HDMI is a standalone hardware streaming encoder for HDMI sources. Connect a camera, switcher output or any HDMI signal, configure destinations through the web UI once, and the device streams continuously to RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SRT or NDI|HX without any host PC involved.
For permanent venue installations this is the right answer where a streaming PC is impractical — permanent church streaming setups that need to "just work" every Sunday, conference room webcasting installations, classroom recording rigs, sports venue camera positions. Configure once, leave running.
The HDMI loop-through keeps a downstream monitor connected for confidence viewing, and the device can stream to multiple platforms simultaneously — YouTube Live, Facebook Live, custom RTMP, and an NDI|HX feed for in-network production, all running at the same time.
