NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hauppauge Digital,
Inc. (NASDAQ: HAUP), the leading developer and manufacturer of
HD video recorders, has launched a new Internet video streaming
system called 'StreamEez-Pro'. StreamEez-Pro allows organizations
to stream live events over the Internet to hundreds or thousands of
viewers using popular professional streaming services such as
Amazon Web Services and Wowza. The StreamEez-Pro system includes a
high definition video encoder plus the StreamEez-Pro application to
make the setup and transmission of live Internet events simple
enough for non-technical people to use.
The StreamEez-Pro system includes two parts: the StreamEez high
definition video encoder and a StreamEez-Pro application for
Windows which allows the control and management of a live streamed
event.
The StreamEez video encoder is a rugged, high quality real-time
HD encoder which converts HDMI video into H.264 with AAC audio, the
most widely used format for streaming video over the Internet. The
StreamEez video encoder accepts HDMI video at up to 1080p60 and has
a down scaler which can convert video to a lower resolution format
such as 720p "on the fly." The StreamEez encoder also includes a
logo inserter which can take a transparent PNG file and overlay it
on top of the live video. There is an HDMI output port which can be
used to connect to a video monitor.
The StreamEez-Pro application runs on Windows 7 or Windows 8 and
has a simple to setup access for Internet video streaming to Amazon
Web Services through Wowza, plus supports the Meridix sports
streaming service and Ustream, Twitch and YouTube. The
StreamEez-Pro application allows a user to easily choose streaming
profiles for low, medium and high bandwidth services. For advanced
users, StreamEez-pro allows the creation of custom profiles with
settings for bit rate and scaling factors.
In addition to the built-in streaming services, StreamEez-Pro
can support other streaming services using RTP or RTMP
protocols.
"Organizations, both big and small, have events that they'd like
to stream live over the Internet. They might be school board
meetings, sports events or church services. Many of these
organizations lack the technical staff to figure out how to create
a live Internet video event. With the introduction of
StreamEez-Pro, we have simplified video streaming so that anyone
can stream a live event over the Internet, locally or around the
world," said Hauppauge's CEO
Ken Plotkin.
To stream a live event using StreamEez-Pro, an organization
would need to have the StreamEez-Pro video encoder, a high
definition HDMI camera, a laptop computer and an Internet
connection. In addition, an Amazon Web Services account or an
account with Meridix, Ustream or Twitch can be used. Examples of
live events which StreamEez-Pro can be used for are church events,
school board meetings or other town hall events, and sporting
events through the Meridix Sports Network.
With the StreamEez-Pro application, connecting to a streaming
video service has four steps: create an account with your streaming
service provider, enter your password, choose a streaming profile
based on the speed of your Internet connection, and then start
streaming. It's that easy!
The StreamEez-Pro application runs on any Windows PC and has a
manufacturers retail price of $269.-
The system is available directly from Hauppauge and from VideoGuys.com.
"Our customers have been searching for a low cost, high quality,
reliable and easy to use video streaming solution" said
Gary Bettan, President of
Videoguys.com a NY based online retailer of video editing and
production gear. "StreamEez-Pro makes it easy to stream video
directly from your HDMI equipped HD camcorder or video mixing
board. This is perfect for the education, worship and corporate
markets, where people want to stream HD video but do not want to
invest thousands of dollars for complex solutions."
