Intinor: when flexibility and versatility converge

The Swedish manufacturer of “backpacks” for live broadcasts via LTE 3G/4G, fiber or satellite in Ka band, and encoders for 4K and VR, is making a difference in this market due to the possibilities offered by its solutions.

It is not uncommon for us to attend presentations or seminars in which equipment manufacturers talk to us about “flexibility” and “versatility” without us leaving with a clear idea of ​​what it really means for us in our daily work. Beyond the definitions of the words themselves, it is not intuitive to imagine the multiple situations in which these definitions are applicable in our case.

Intinor It is one of those manufacturers in which those words take on a special meaning. Apart from the fact that they are one of the manufacturers of the so-called “backpacks” for live broadcasts via LTE 3G/4G, fiber or satellite in Ka band, and encoders for 4K and VR, the difference is made in the possibilities they offer. From having intercom channels to enabling mixing of up to four cameras; including the possibility of embedding graphics and logos at source.

Direct router

Perhaps the most striking product in the Swedish company's catalog is the Direkt Router for receiving/sending RTP, RTP+FEC, RTMP push-pull or TCP push-pull signals. Apart from carrying out demultiplexing, or “de-bonding”, allowing the reception of 18 or 36 simultaneous streams, depending on whether the unit is 1RU or 2RU, it enables unlimited forwarding of RTMP streams to multiple destinations, being able to convert to RTP, RTMP or .TCP protocols. You can also record the event on a pendrive or on an optional internal disk, to automatically make an FTP sending at the end of the event.

Additionally, it can transcode at multiple resolutions and bit rates, providing 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 HDMI multiviewer output, for remote viewing and selection of up to 4 cameras and mixing effects as well as selection of logos/graphics to insert remotely. Optionally, you can have up to 8 HD-SDI outputs with four pairs of stereo channels for the portable unit and up to eight pairs of stereo channels for the 1RU unit.

For gaming applications, Intinor encoders are capable of working at 1080p/59.94 at 3.5 Mbps, which is the standard for uploading content, among others, to the Twitch platform, one of the largest in the world.

At the ZDF VR conference in April of this year they presented the new 4K encoder in H264 showing 360VR via LTE modems with bonding to upload content to the YouTube platform. Being able to integrate with the Nokia Ozo camera, as well as with other 360VR systems, it offers excellent quality even at 8 Mbps. They incorporate the possibility of cropping and even inserting logos when uploading live content to YouTube.

Finally, through the API, the automation of different processes can be programmed on any Intinor device.

In Spain, Intinor has selected Tmediat as a partner to market your solutions.
