3 Overview

Kramer DigiTOOL® KDS-EN3 Encoder and KDS-DEC3 Decoder units work in

conjunction to provide unicast (one-to-one) or multicast (one-to-many) streaming

over an IP network. Using Kramer KDS-EN3 Manager software, you can manage

your entire KDS-EN3 network from a single system.

More specifically the units feature:

 MPEG-4 AVC support using H.264 and AAC codecs

 Downscale streams locally before distribution over the network to lower

bandwidth consumption

 Scaling and cropping features that enable flexible display of source content

on the decoder output

 Open encoding to enable software decoding through VLC

player software

 Standard 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet network operation

 A decoder-integrated network switch that allows for KDS-DEC3 daisy

chaining and network extension

 Kramer KDS-EN3 Manager software that allows for multiple instances and

remote management of the KDS-EN3 network

 HDMI

/DVI video support

 HDMI or analog audio support

 Unicast and multicast streaming support through RTSP (Real Time

Streaming Protocol)

 Manual and scheduled recording to network storage option on encoders

 Fail safe video playback or image display when a decoder loses its

connection to an encoder

 KDS-EN3 Manager auto-detection and discovery of KDS-EN3/KDS-DEC3

units on a subnet (DHCP server required)

 RS-232 virtualization from encoder to decoder
