RGBlink 1mini NDI 4K Streaming Node

TAO 1mini is the latest signal node to a new level for advanced use cases, not only for encoder, but also decoder. It expands the connectivity in a single unit including HDMI 2.0 and UVC IN & OUT, but also ethernet I/O. With HDMI 2.0 and UVC inputs for a 4K encoding and multi-protocol streaming by ethernet outputs. Vise versa, as a 4K decoder from ethernet inputs to HDMI 2.0 and UVC output. It comes with higher streaming bitrates; file recording; and much more. This device is ideal for high-quality live streaming of content including sports, education, and live events as well as IP-based production and AV-over-IP.

As the world's leading network audio and video codec technology, NDI is favored by more and more professional audio and video technicians. TAO 1mini supports HDMI&UVC and FULL NDI gigabit Ethernet video stream codecs for encoding and decoding. Round appearance, simple and elegant, easy to carry, with standard camera screw holes, can be easily installed to the camera bracket. The device has a 2.1-inch TFT touch screen for real-time monitoring of signals and menu operations. Support tally lights, support U disk recording, support PoE and other functions.

• low latency
• live previews & recording power from USB-C PD
• power via PoE
• Dual ¼in mounts
• LED TALLY indicators
• Stream to at least 4 platforms via TAO APP
• Up to 4K UHD without compromise

Multi-Input Video Processing
The single-channel TAO 1mini can encode one live input source - either HDMI or UVC - or mix video from the HDMI and UVC inputs (picture-in-picture or side-by-side) into a combined output. Up to eight user-configurable overlays - including text, images, and a clock - can be applied to the output profile.

Flexible Formats and Protocols
TAO 1mini supports multiple video encoding formats - including H.264, H.265 (HEVC), NDI®|HX 2, NDI®|HX 3 and full NDI®- and a wide array of delivery protocols including RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, RTP, HLS. Up to eight channels of audio can be encoded in AAC format.

Powerful Encoding & Streaming Capabilities
In Encoding mode, video can be encoded at resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 frames per second from HDMI sources, or up to 4096x2160 at 30 frames per second from the UVC input. TAO 1mini can stream to up to 32 different target destinations simultaneously at bitrates up to 32Mbps per stream, with TAO APP connection.

Leading Decoding Capabilities
In Decoding mode, TAO 1mini will automatically adapt the Full NDI®,  NDI®|HX2 and NDI®|HX3 format as your end needs.TAO 1mini will take care of your 4Kp60 video transmission.

Versatile Recording and Streaming
TAO 1mini supports streaming and recording simultaneously. Inputs can be recorded as files to an external, USB-connected storage device or networked storage (NFS, CIFS or SMB).

USB Extension
TAO 1mini  has both USB 3.0 Type-A and USB 3.0 Type-C interfaces for you to:
Access a Web Camera via USB 3.0 Type-A as a video input source for encoding;
Connect to your PC via USB 3.0 Type-C as a USB video input;
With USB extensions available, you can achieve unlimited possibilities by seamlessly bringing NDI technology to your applications such as video conferencing, image processing, and more.

New NDI®|HX 3 Support
For IP production workflows and AV-over-IP signal distribution architectures, TAO 1mini supports NDI®|HX 3, the latest version of the high-efficiency, low-bandwidth option in the popular NDI® IP media transport technology platform. TAO 1mini also supports the earlier NDI®|HX 2 and full NDI® for broad compatibility.

Large-sized colour LCD screen and finger touch
A large colour LCD screen and finger touch enable you to customize settings, switch on/off, set quick shortcuts, and control all video sources with preeminent ease. LCD is also a built in preview monitor for the dedicated input selected.

Why choose NDI?
NDI  is a broadcast-quality, low-latency video streaming protocol over Gigabit networks. With low loss, low latency, more stable

Professional IP Productioon Equipment
Both encoding and decoding support up to 4K (UHD) video resolution, and are backwardcompatible with resolutions such as HD/SD. Adopt MJPEG\YUV, H.264 to ensure high quality video transmission

NDI & NDI|HX Codec Integration
TAO 1mini not only supports 4K Full NDI but also NDI|HX, it is an all-in-one codec machine

Multi-Platform Live Streaming
TAO 1mini can not only convert 4K HDMI\UVC signals into NDI\RTMP\SRT, but also a network push streaming device that can realize simultaneous live broadcast of 3 platforms.
