IPTV Encoder with 4, 8, or 12 HD-SDI Inputs, SPTS encoding
The BLANKOM EMU 8200 series has 4, 8, or 12 HD-SDI compatible video input interfaces and supports both HEVC/H.265 and MPEG 4 AVC/H.264 video encoding and MPEG 1 Layer 2 audio encoding. This compact encoder can simultaneously convert 4/8/12 HD Video & Audio signals from SDI inputs to IP output as multiplexed MPTS and SPTS IP output streams. Text, graphics or QR-code can be added to every video picture.
Its highly integrated and cost-effective design fits perfectly into various digital distribution systems, such as cable TV digital Headend and satellite digital TV broadcasting.
EMU-9500 series is the similar unit but with HDMI instead of HD-SDI inputs and with streaming protocols support.

B2B application examples showcasing how the HD-SDI interface density and SPTS architecture of the EMU-8200 series solve large-scale professional video requirements:
-
Broadcast Master Control Room (MCR) to IPTV Headend Distribution: Television broadcast stations handle uncompressed HD-SDI feeds coming from various production decks, cameras, and external playout servers. By installing the EMU-8212 in the Master Control Room, engineers can feed 12 independent HD-SDI broadcast signals into a single 1U rack unit. The device compresses these sources into 12 separate H.264 UDP Multicast SPTS streams, distributing the live television channels across the station’s internal local network for real-time employee viewing on any office PC or network display screen.
-
Live Sports Production Trucks and OB Van Integration: Outside Broadcasting (OB) vans operate in high-vibration, tightly enclosed environments where physical cable locking and rack-space efficiency are vital. Production crews deploy the EMU-8208 or EMU-8212 to ingest uncompressed field camera lines directly via secure BNC connections. The unit processes up to 12 cameras simultaneously, outputting independent SPTS multicast streams over the truck’s localized IP network, giving directors and engineers immediate low-latency access to multi-angle feeds on professional IP multiviewers.
-
Large-Scale Stadium and Arena Live Video Turnaround: Modern sports arenas feature extensive networks of concourse displays, VIP suite televisions, and media room monitors. Using the EMU-8212, the venue’s technical team ingests 12 raw production camera feeds or scoreboard graphics via HD-SDI. The encoder outputs 12 independent H.264 SPTS multicast feeds over the stadium’s Gigabit LAN. Edge IPTV decoders or Smart TVs at each display point tune directly to the specific multicast IP addresses, delivering smooth 1080p60 fast-motion action to thousands of spectators simultaneously with zero signal dropouts.
-
Parliamentary and Local Government Multi-Chamber Broadcasting: Government municipal complexes use multiple professional SDI cameras across separate committee rooms, main courtrooms, and central assembly halls. The EMU-8208 or EMU-8212 consolidates these high-grade camera lines by aggregating up to 8 or 12 HD-SDI outputs into a single centralized 1U rack device. The system converts the uncompressed video lines into separate SPTS UDP/RTP streams, allowing the technical staff to route specific room streams directly to decentralized archiving servers or push them to wide-area network proxy nodes for public transparency compliance.
-
Centralized Medical Video Distribution for Hospital Operating Theaters: Advanced surgical environments utilize high-definition cameras attached to surgical microscopes, endoscopes, and operating room field cameras that output professional HD-SDI signals to preserve pure detail. By installing the EMU-8204 or EMU-8208 in the medical center’s primary server rack, the hospital can digitize up to 4 or 8 live surgical feeds simultaneously. The unit outputs independent SPTS multicast streams, distributing the surgical procedures across the hospital’s secure network to remote observation clinics or medical student lecture halls with absolute pixel clarity.
