Getting started with the MediaStar 779
Multi Format Input SD-HD Encoder
Models: 779-S-SD, 779-S-HD, 779-D-SD, 779-D-HD
the MediaStar Evolution 779 Encoder is a standalone
MpEG2 or MpEG4-10/H264 video and audio encoder.
It can take the video input from a variety of different
source formats (Composite, S-Video, Ypbpr, rGB, VGa
or HDMI) and will scale the images to either SD or
HD resolutions. the video and accompanying audio is
then encoded into MpEG2 or H264 data, and is then
streamed onto a Lan. Separate decoder units or pC
software clients can then display the video and audio
at any network enabled location.
the unit has a front panel mounted LCD and push buttons
to allow easy network setup and source selection,
with an embedded http web page server providing
configuration web pages for more advanced features.
the 779 unit may be purchased with a single or dual
set of video inputs (779-S-xx and 779-D-xx units), and
also with either an SD output stream resolution, or a
selectable SD/HD output stream resolution (779-x-SD
or 779-x-HD).
