Exterity AvediaStream® Transcoders are high-performance content transformation tools that enable content to be easily converted into a compatible format for delivery to the users preferred viewing device, whether that’s a TV/display screen, a computer or a mobile device.
The Exterity AvediaStream Transcoder range caters for a broad range of streaming requirements and is capable of off-line (file-to-file) transcoding, live transcoding and streaming.
Different transcoding activities require varying amounts of system resource. To help identify the remaining transcoding capacity, the AvediaStream t5320/t5620 track the activity of the device in real time, displaying an easy-to-read usage chart in the user interface.
Benefits of AvediaStream Transcoders include:
- Enable real-time delivery of video and audio content to any device, keeping end users up to date and entertained, wherever they are
- Extend the reach of enterprise IP video by distributing audiovisual content to a broad range of devices
- Save 50% bandwidth whilst maintaining quality using the new HEVC (H.265) codec
- Ensure video traceability and brand your video content with customisable text, image and time watermarking
- Easily distribute production-quality video from your NDI® live production environments to your Exterity IP video solution, or contribute video from IPTV systems to NDI production environments

The main functions of the AvediaStream Transcoders include:
- Scale: reduce or increase the resolution of the image, for example, from 4K to 1080p
- Transcode: change the encoding of the video and/or audio; for example, HEVC to H.264
- Transrate: alter the compression and therefore the transmission bit rate, regardless of whether the codec type is changed or not, for example, go from 6Mbps to 500kbps
- Transpose: rotate the video (270 degrees) for use in portrait video applications, such as digital signage or airport flight information displays
- Transcast: re-encapsulate stream transport container format to match playback devices or convert between multicast and unicast to pass through routed networks
