Cube streams up to 1080p30 HD video over WiFi or Ethernet from a tiny, rugged 7-ounce enclosure mounted directly to the video camera

IRVINE, CA, June 15 – Teradek, a leading manufacturer of network video encoders, introduces Cube, the world’s first camera-top HD video encoder. Cube encodes HD video up to 1080p30 using the world’s most advanced compression, H.264 High Profile Level 4.1. Cube is housed in a miniaturized, ultra-rugged, milled aluminum enclosure and only weights 7 ounces. Cube has no moving parts for 24/7 reliability and to ensure quiet operation. Cube uses only 2.5 watts of power and accepts Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 9-24V DC input.

The ability to stream HD video over IP from such a small device is unprecedented and provides users with a wealth of previously unimagined applications. Now anyone with a HD video camera can broadcast live video, all that is needed is a WiFi access point to a LAN/WAN, or broadband Internet connection. If WiFi is unavailable Cube features a 10/100 Ethernet port. Use Cube to turn seminars into live webinars, broadcast youth, high school, and college sports, stream local theater, talent shows, and community events over the web. Broadcast weddings live to distant relatives. Webcast a morning radio show. Cube is ideal for filmmakers, on-location news teams, sportscasting and auto racing, and wedding videographers.

Just as blogs have revolutionized written media distribution and put the voice in the hands of the public, Cube will revolutionize the distribution of live video by providing a high definition video channel over the Internet.

“We’re on the cusp of a sea change in video distribution. Increased bandwidth and advances in video encoding allow anyone to stream live, broadcast-quality video over the web. The stunning video capabilities of modern mobile devices like smart phones are transforming the way content is delivered. Over the next few years these technologies will revolutionize how people communicate, from citizen broadcasting, education, video conferencing, to live coverage of local sporting events, or even live video for social networking. Everything will change. It’s changing now” says Rod Clark, Director of Marketing at Teradek.
