KB Mini
H.264/HEVC
H.264 & HEVC Internet Streaming Encoder
Small Form Factor - Big Power As a portable all-in-one H.264/HEVC encoder, the KB Mini is ideal for live event streaming from
anywhere with an Internet connection. Leveraging Intel CPU and GPU hybrid processing, the KB Mini gives you big power in a
small form factor appliance.
Stream Live Events Across the World’s Largest CDNs Give your Internet audience the best viewing experience regardless of
their geographic location, network conditions or preferred device. With the KB Mini, you can encode up to 1080p video over a
baseband SDI or HDMI input, or transcode an IP stream to distribute as a cascade of adaptive bitrate RTMP/HLS streams across
the world’s largest CDNs, giving you the highest quality per bit.
Get the Most Out of your Uplink Connection to the Cloud When your Internet connection at the source isn’t the most reliable,
and bandwidth availability is less than plentiful, you want to get your video streams to a transcoder in the cloud to take care of
adaptive bitrate (ABR) distribution. With support for HEVC and Haivision’s SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) technology, the KB
Mini uses up to 50% less bandwidth than H.264, and makes low-cost, readily available public Internet connections secure and
reliable for live video transport from the source to the cloud, getting the most out of your available uplink bandwidth.
