The JVC Professional BR-EN900 is a dedicated hardware encoder designed for professional live streaming, broadcasting, and contribution applications. This robust unit specializes in compressing high-quality video and audio inputs into efficient HEVC/H.264 streams suitable for reliable transmission over IP networks. It is engineered for environments where stable, low-latency, and high-quality encoding is critical, such as live event production, broadcast contribution, distance learning, and enterprise streaming. The encoder accepts various professional video sources—including 3G-SDI and HDMI—and offers flexible streaming protocols, making it a versatile solution for delivering content to content delivery networks (CDNs), streaming platforms, or internal networks.

At the core of the BR-EN900 is its hardware-based encoding engine, which ensures consistent performance without the variability or resource constraints associated with software encoders on general-purpose computers. It supports multiple simultaneous output streams (multi-bitrate encoding), allowing a single source to be delivered at different quality levels to accommodate varying viewer internet speeds. The unit provides comprehensive monitoring and control via an intuitive web-based interface, enabling remote configuration of encoding parameters, stream destinations, and system diagnostics. Advanced features often include closed captioning support, redundant power supplies, and failover mechanisms to maintain uptime in mission-critical operations.

Housed in a compact, rack-mountable 1U chassis, the BR-EN900 is built for 24/7 reliability in both fixed and mobile production setups. Its combination of professional I/O, robust encoding, and streaming flexibility makes it an ideal choice for broadcasters, production companies, and institutions that need a dependable, standalone solution to convert professional video feeds into high-quality streams for live distribution over the internet.
