ViewCast.com Inc. announced the availability of the Niagara(R) 2200, an affordable portable streaming media encoder, and the Niagara 9100-2D, a high-density multiple encoder platform. Both the Niagara 2200 and 9100-2D feature the new Niagara SCX(R) version 7.0 encoding, control and management software. This new platform integrated in both products includes a new output container format and MPEG2 Transport Stream (TS) that supports both MPEG-2 and H.264 encoding.

The new Niagara 2200 will replace the Niagara 2100 and 2120. However, customers can upgrade existing Niagara 2100 and 2120 systems for a nominal fee. The Niagara 9100-2D is the newest addition to the high-performance Niagara 9100 encoder platform series.

While other models are analog, the Niagara 9100-2D has two digital inputs. It is capable of delivering two simultaneous streams in SD or HD video formats, ideal for service providers and broadcasters who can now go digital with the same high-quality performance of the trusted Niagara name. The Niagara 2200 and 9100-2D will be on display at the Integrate Expo 2012 event in Darling Harbour Australia from August 21 -- 23, 2012 in Niagara distributor, Corsair Solutions' booth (F26).
