Niagara SCX Pro With MPEG-4 — The Niagara SCX Pro software allows users to control and monitor multiple encoders over an IP Network from a single interface and adds the ability of MPEG-4/H.264 and H.263 live streaming encoding. With SCX Pro, users can set up and control encoders throughout an enterprise or over the Internet with a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple products, such as Windows Media® Encoder, RealProducer®, or Helix™ Mobile Producer to control and monitor the encoding process. SCX Pro features the same live streaming encoding abilities for the Windows Media® and RealVideo® formats as the SCX Basic version, while adding MPEG-4/H.264 and H.263 format capability.
H.264 is the next-generation video compression technology in the MPEG-4 standard and the format of choice for mobile streaming. Designed to allow high-quality video at low bit rates to be delivered over bandwidth-constrained networks, H.264 provides the same video quality as MPEG-2 compression at up to half the bit rate.
