Z3 Technology, LLC, a leader in the high performance video encoder market, today announces the release of Z3Stream-SDI, a compact H.264 video encoder. This low-cost system is capable of encoding video in resolutions up to 1080p60 in streaming formats including RTMP, RTSP and others. These features, along with its compatibility with the Wowza Streaming Engine and other online streaming platforms, including YouTube and Facebook Live, make it an ideal solution for live event streaming.

"Leveraging on our experience with our broadcast-proven ZEUS video encoders, we've created a lower cost solution for video streaming."

Measuring 6.2 (w) x 4.8 (d) x 1.3 (h) inches, Z3Stream-SDI offers SDI, HDMI®, composite and GigE interfaces. The system is easily set-up and controlled by a PC through an HTTP-based user interface.
