Streambox Delivers Better Pixels with 12-bit 4:4:4 RGB Color

By | Events & Media Coverage, Streambox Insider, Streambox Platform Solutions | No Comments
We are pleased to announce upcoming support for 12-bit 4:4:4 RGB color space for the Streambox Chroma encoders and decoders.
Both encoders and decoders have been designed for maximum flexibility.
The user can do 12 bit RGB in and out simplifying overall workflow with no compromise.

If Display equipment does not support 12 bit, the user can select to down convert 12 bit to 10 bit on output.

For low bitrate scenarios, users can select 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 encoding profiles while maintaining RGB on input and output via “Force RGB” option on decoder.
Note: 4:4:4 or 12 bit mode requires RGB signal.
For broadcast workflows, new encoder support 59.94 and 60 fps frame rates in 10-bit color space.
10 and 12-bit support is perfect match for HDR color grading in either RGB or 4:2:2 modes

Visit us at NAB 2018 next week to see demos and test workflow. We will have DaVinci Resolve Studio setup with our encoders and decoders. Bring your files or sample projects in if you want to check your workflow in action! Schedule private meeting TODAY!

External Audio Support for Cloud Encoder

By | Cloud, Apps & Software, Streambox Insider, Streambox Platform Solutions | No Comments

Streambox introduced External Audio Support in its latest release of Cloud Encoder for OSX. Now, users have their choice of the embedded audio from the video source (HDMI or SDI) or audio from an external source. For example, this feature could be used where a wireless microphone system is being employed.

To ensure you have the external audio feature, click the ‘Streambox Cloud Encoder’ menu, select ‘Check for updates’, and make sure you have the latest version.

After your external microphone is plugged in, from the ‘Service’ menu select ‘Audio’. From the ‘Audio’ list select the desired microphone and that’s it, you are now set to use an external microphone to voice live streams.

You can check the status of your audio input from the Status Box. If it is hidden, click the right‐chevron button and the Status Box will slide out to the right. Select the ‘Encoder’ tab on the top (between the ‘Network’ and ‘Statistics’ tabs). Then, in the ‘Audio’ panel, you can verify that your input is working by tapping on the microphone and seeing if the levels monitor responds accordingly.
