HARMAN Professional Solution is releasing new AMX SVSI N2600 Series encoders and decoders. The Series combines affordability and versatility making it ideal for colleges and universities, corporate, casinos, hospitality, government, or just about any streaming application.

N2600 models feature a high-quality, low latency 4K60 4:4:4 MWC codec that is perfect for transmitting both live video and detailed content. They also feature transport of full-bandwidth USB 2.0 signals between encoders and decoders, video preview images viewable from the built-in web interface or from a touch panel, and enhanced support for high-security networks.

N2600 Encoders and Decoders are available in wallplate form-factors in both US and UK/EU styles. Wallplate Encoders include both an HDMI input and a USB-C input that supports both video and USB 2.0.

In addition to the high-quality, low-latency 4K60 4:4:4 MWC stream, stand-alone box and card models with the ‘S’ designation add support for a high-compatibility, low-bandwidth 1080p H.264 stream. These encoder models can simultaneously encode both MWC and H.264 streams and these decoders can decode streams of either type.
