BLANKOM HD Encoder Streamers Application Diagram

B2B application examples demonstrating how the VDE-265 bridges legacy analog video hardware with modern digital IP streaming architectures:

  • Legacy Industrial SCADA and Machinery Monitoring: In older manufacturing plants, power facilities, or oil refineries, critical automated machinery is managed by vintage industrial computers running legacy operating systems (like Windows XP or older Linux distros) that output system maps via VGA. Because these secure systems cannot connect to the internet or run modern monitoring software, the VDE-265 is connected externally to the VGA port. It converts the live terminal interface into an H.265 UDP Multicast stream, allowing engineers in a central modern control room to monitor the factory floor status in real time.

  • Centralized Server Room Remote KVM Logging: IT data centers house legacy server hardware or network appliances that lack modern digital HDMI/DisplayPort outputs or remote IP-KVM capabilities. By installing the VDE-265 into the server rack, administrators can route the server’s analog VGA console output directly into the encoder. The device streams the live command-line terminal over the internal network using the RTSP or SRT protocol, enabling secure, decentralized IT maintenance and remote server auditing without physical access to the room.

  • Medical Cart and Ultrasound Machine Video Distribution: Many hospitals use older, high-grade medical carts, endoscopy systems, or ultrasound workstations that only feature VGA outputs. To broadcast these live diagnostics for educational purposes or remote consultant opinions, the VDE-265 ingests the VGA feed along with a 3.5mm audio line from the practitioner. The system encodes the data and distributes it across the hospital’s secure local network via UDP Multicast, maintaining exact pixel clarity for medical students in distant lecture halls.

  • Maritime Vessel Navigation and Radar Stream Contribution: Commercial ships, cargo carriers, and naval vessels frequently use specialized legacy marine radar, sonar, or electronic chart systems (ECDIS) that display positioning telemetry exclusively via VGA monitors. The VDE-265 is implemented inside the bridge console to encode these essential navigational radar screens. It transmits the live maps over secure internal SRT channels to secondary backup screens in the captain’s cabin or to land-based monitoring operations via satellite uplink.

  • Flight Simulator and Training Console Recording: Aviation training centers and military pilot schools run complex flight simulators where auxiliary instrumentation data or telemetry tracking screens are handled by independent computers using VGA interfaces. The VDE-265 captures these analog telemetry outputs at 1080p60 resolution and pushes them via RTMP/RTMPS directly to a centralized network video recorder (NVR) or streaming archive. This enables trainers to evaluate pilot performance and analyze cockpit instrumentation responses post-flight.

The BLANKOM VDE-265 is a professional hardware encoding and streaming appliance designed to convert analog video from a VGA input into high-efficiency digital IP streams. It enables operators to ingest video from legacy computing platforms, industrial machinery, or medical hardware and distribute it over local IP networks (LAN) or wide-area networks (WAN) without changing the source equipment.

The VDE-265 hardware engine natively supports standard analog VGA input resolutions up to 1920×1080 at 60 frames per second (1080p60 Full HD), alongside various legacy VESA resolutions (e.g., 1280×1024, 1024×768). For the network payload, it utilizes high-efficiency H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC video compression standards, optimizing image quality while minimizing bandwidth allocation.

The device features a versatile multi-protocol streaming core. It can transmit the compressed VGA transport stream simultaneously across multiple industry-standard protocols, including UDP/RTP (Multicast and Unicast), SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), HTTP, RTSP, and RTMP/RTMPS, enabling parallel delivery to internal corporate IPTV systems and cloud CDN platforms.

Because the standard VGA (D-Sub 15) connector handles only analog video signals, the VDE-265 is engineered with an independent, physical 3.5mm stereo analog audio input jack on its panel. This layout allows operators to capture an external audio line from the source PC’s sound card or an audio mixer, compressing and multiplexing it directly into the outgoing digital IP transport stream alongside the video.

Yes, the appliance incorporates a multi-stream encoding architecture. It can process the single VGA input into up to 4 independent IP output streams concurrently. Each sub-stream can be customized with its own resolution, frame rate, bitrate control parameter (CBR/VBR), and streaming protocol to serve different destination clients or network monitoring nodes.

Software capture solutions run directly on the host computer, consuming critical CPU/RAM resources and risking software lockups or operating system interference. The VDE-265 is an external, hardware-isolated appliance that captures the pure raw analog video signal line directly. It puts zero processing overhead on the host workstation, making it ideal for legacy or highly secure industrial systems that cannot run external software.

Yes, an advanced internal OSD engine is built into the device software. Network administrators can overlay customized text lines, system timestamps, corporate logos, or watermarks directly onto the encoded video frame via the web interface on the fly, which is highly beneficial for control room tracking or legal video logging.

The VDE-265 runs on a highly stable, standalone embedded operating system with no external software requirements. It is managed completely remotely via an intuitive browser-based WebGUI (Web User Interface) through its RJ45 Ethernet management port, allowing engineers to monitor real-time stream status and adjust all bitrates, network routes, and signal parameters.

Designed to operate as reliable infrastructure for manufacturing plants, server rooms, and medical installations, the VDE-265 features a rugged metal chassis with an advanced fanless thermal cooling design. By eliminating moving mechanical parts, the device avoids mechanical wear and thermal buildup. This passive build ensures high operational stability and a long Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) path for constant 24/7/365 deployment.

Yes. The VDE-265 is engineered with a built-in physical VGA Loop-through (Bypass) output port. This allows the hardware appliance to be installed directly in-line between the host computer and its local desk monitor. The incoming analog video signal is split internally at the hardware layer without signal degradation or impedance loss, routing one clean path to the local monitor for immediate operator visualization while sending the secondary isolated path to the internal H.265 encoding core for IP streaming.
