Ikusi by Fagor FLOW-ENC+ HDMI 4 Inputs Encoder Module

Ikusi by Fagor FLOW-ENC+ Quad HDMI Encoder Module (Ref. 4321) – Professional 4x HDMI to IPTV H.264 Encoder

The FLOW-ENC+ is a high-performance Quad HDMI encoder module designed for the FLOW headend platform. It compresses four independent HDMI video and audio sources into professional-quality IPTV streams using H.264 (with H.265 support coming soon), making it ideal for converting local HDMI sources such as set-top boxes, cameras, media players, PCs, or Blu-ray players into distributable IPTV channels.

Perfect for hotels, conference centers, corporate AV, education, digital signage, and broadcasting headends that require reliable, low-latency HDMI to IP encoding.

Key Features:

• 4 independent HDMI inputs — Accepts four simultaneous HDMI 1.4 digital video and audio inputs, each processed independently for maximum flexibility in mixed-source environments.
• H.264 compression with H.265 coming soon — Encodes video using H.264/MPEG4 AVC (MP/HP, Levels 3.0–4.2) for efficient, high-quality compression. H.265 support is in development for even greater bandwidth efficiency.
• Full SD & HD resolution support — Handles a comprehensive range of input resolutions including 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 720p50/60, 1080i50/60, and 1080p50/60 in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.
• Flexible video bitrate control — Variable bitrate (VBR) encoding in H.264 from 2,000 to 19,000 kbps, allowing operators to balance video quality against available bandwidth.
• Multiple audio codec support — Encodes digital HDMI audio using MPEG1 Layer II, MPEG2 AAC LE/HE, and MPEG4 AAC LE/HE at bitrates from 96 to 384 kbps for full compatibility with IPTV middleware and set-top boxes.
• 4 SPTS outputs over Gigabit Ethernet — Delivers four independent Single Program Transport Streams via 1000Base-T interface using UDP protocol, ready for direct IPTV distribution.
• Low power, compact design — Consumes only 12 W (with four 1080i60 H.264 inputs) at 24 VDC, housed in a slim 125 × 27 × 210 mm form factor weighing just 525 g.
• Native FLOW chassis integration — Slots directly into the FLOW headend backpanel, sharing power and infrastructure with other FLOW modules for a clean, scalable headend build.
