A next generation HD streaming appliance
Video streaming from high-definition video sources has reached a new level of quality and performance with the Niagara 7500. Designed for professional broadcasting applications, this powerful streaming appliance simplifies the complex workflows often associated with the transformation and delivery of high-definition video over IP and mobile networks.

Simplicity without sacrificing functionality.
One of the first things you'll notice about the Niagara 7500 is its sleek, innovative design. It features an intuitive touch control interface with dedicated icons that streamline and simplifiy operation. The brilliant widescreen high-resolution front panel monitor displays yout captured video, and multi-segment LED meters along with a headphone jack are provided for audio monitoring.

The Niagara 7500 accepts standard or high-definition video through its SDI interface, and an SDI loop out is provided to facilitate workflow. A key feature of its video processing capability is that it can switch on-the-fly between standard or high-definition sources, without having to re-intitialize the system. Audio inputs include analog stereo, 2 channels of AES/EBU audio, and up to eight stereo pairs of embedded SDI audio.

Loaded with feature-rich streaming tools.
The Niagara 7500 also comes standard with ViewCast SimulStream technology, which means, using a single video source, you can generate several video streams all at once, with each stream configured differently for laptops, cell phones, or mobile devices. And of course, you can stream simultaneously in all the popular formats, including Windows Media, Flash, H.264, 3GPP and more.

For demanding broadcast applications, powerful video pre-processing features are a must, and that's where the Niagara 7500 really shines. Closed-caption extraction and rendering, de-interlacing, and inverse telecine are standard, as well as bit map overlay, scaling and cropping.

And, if the Niagara 7500 loses its incoming video signal, it will even default to a standby message you can customize.

Expand your streaming options.
Like all professional-grade ViewCast streaming appliances, the Niagara 7500 comes tandard with Niagar SCX Pro management software. This allows you to control all the key features of one or more Niagara 7500s through the same easy-to-use Web interface, over the network.

Need even more control? No problem. There's also an available SDK that exposes all the key features of the system, and allows you to customize the user experience, or interface with broadcast automation systems for highly customized applications.

To sum it up... the Niagara 7500 is a powerful, feature-rich streaming appliance ideal for the Web-based delivery of high definition video. If you're a broadcaster or have other professional video distribution needs, the Niagara 7500 is an ideal solution for expanding your audience in today's digital media marketplace.
