Specifically designed for harsh environments, VITEC’s rugged range of portable HEVC & H.264 streaming encoders are military-grade and ultra-compact.

They deliver Surveillance, Intelligence and Reconnaissance (ISR) video over the internet generated by manned/unmanned aircraft, ground or marine vehicles operating in extreme conditions.

From a pocket-sized encoder that can be powered by a battery pack, to a high-efficiency multi-channel HEVC encoder, VITEC’s military-grade streaming appliances are used in many different global military situations. Live video can be encrypted and streamed to the Command/- Headquarters giving them valuable and current information. All of VITEC’s portable encoders support KLV MISB 0601 and 0902 as well as KLV/STANAG 4609 metadata injection over serial, SDI or IP connections. This is ideal for pairing of tactical data with associated video to relay as much information as possible.
