(1888PressRelease) August 31, 2016 - State College, PA - Live streaming is more than a trend: it's becoming an expectation for most events. Schools, houses of worship, sports teams and broadcasters are all looking for live streaming solutions to bring their content to viewers at home.

The Greylock HD H.264 Encoder/Decoder is a high performance encoder/decoder that supports both HDMI and SDI inputs. Based on the Intel® AtomTM CE5300 Dual Core media processor, Greylock brings this advanced consumer electronics processor to the Pro AV market. With a dedicated hardware encoder, users can easily convert their camera's HDMI or SDI data into an encoded stream that can be sent online, reducing the network bandwidth necessary to stream quality video.

Designed for applications where cost and mobile use are important, Greylock supports resolutions up to 1080p60 and offers a small form factor, simple setup, push-button streaming and multiple streaming formats (including unicast, multicast and RTMP). Greylock's professional-grade encode with built-in decode adds convenience and confidence with the ability to preview the stream. And support of multiple streaming formats means that Greylock works with a wide variety of online video providers and CDNs.

Greylock fits into a variety of AV workflows and is ideally suited for applications including Education, Digital Signage, Live Events, Houses of Worship and Broadcast.

Greylock is the flagship product in a new product line for Videon, focused on bringing high-quality encoders and decoders to an affordable price point. For customers that need an encoder-only solution, the Empire HD Encoder brings Greylock's features (minus the decode) to an even more affordable device. And for those who need decode-only, the Washington HD Decoder rounds out the product offering. All are based on Intel's CE5300, and all offer flexible pricing options.

"We're excited to introduce Greylock as an affordable, high quality solution with Intel technology," says Videon CEO Todd Erdley.
