The Teradek Cube-220 1 Channel HDMI Encoder (Built-in Wi-Fi) is a camera-top wireless HD video encoder which is ideally suited for on-set video monitoring as well as full-scale film production. Eliminating the complexity of VTR (Video Tape Recorder) rigs and camera tethering for long dolly moves as well as running footage, the Cube-220 offers a lightweight (0.43 lb / 0.19 kg), compact (2.5 x 3.5 x 0.9" / 63.5 x 88.9 x 22.8 mm) and low power (2.5W) HDMI video encoding solution.
You can use the Cube-220 for input resolutions of 1080p/PsF, 1080i, and 720p. Downscaling to lower resolutions is possible via a built-in scaler that allows output streaming resolutions of 1080p/PsF, 1080i, 720p, and 480p. You can achieve Blu-ray output video quality and H.264 High Profile Level 4.1 video compression at bit rates of 250 Kbps to 10 Mbps. The Cube-220 typically exhibits a latency of 1/8-1/2 second. You are provided with a 1/8" Stereo TRS Line Level input and embedded stereo capabilities for HDMI. Also integrated into the Cube-220 are AAC-LC and MPEG Layer 2 Audio compression standards.
Direct streaming to decoding devices such as a laptop or iPad is offered via the ad-hoc networking mode which eliminated the need for any other intermediary equipment. WiFi based network distribution (LAN/WAN/Internet) of the Cube-220's IP video stream is provided via the infrastructure network mode that supports TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, DHCP, NTP, SSL, IGMP protocols.
You can easily configure and control the Cube via a feature-rich UI. Rail system, cage, hotshoe, or camera baseplate mounting options are available for the cube. You can use the Cube-220 with Arri Alexa, Panavision Genesis, Canon 5Dii, Canon 7D and other handy cams.
