The Teradek Cubelet 205/355 consists of the Cube 205 HDMI Encoder and Cube 355 HD-SDI Decoder, delivered to you paired and ready to connect with one another. This bundle provides a high definition end-to-end streaming video solution that eliminates the need for PC-based decoding. The 205/355 bundle is particularly useful for filmmaking, ENG, and Pro AV applications.
Teradek's Cube-205 HDMI Encoder connects to a camera by HDMI. The unit encodes video and embedded audio, and streams these in H.264, in up to 1080p/30, to an optional decoder or to a designated URL, streaming by Ethernet or optionally by a 3G/4G USB modem, which connects into the 205's USB port. You can at the same time also store short-form (2-3 min) proxy files to a microSD card or stream them to a computer over a network. (You would need to first enable a feature called "Proxy Recording" for free from a Teradek forum).
An OLED screen allows you to change and review settings of the unit, also offering feedback for filenames and recording status. Each feature of the unit is easily controllable from here, rather than configuration through a computer or tablet. A headphone output allows for immediate audio monitoring. Additionally, the Cube supports several Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) including UStream, Justin.tv, Livestream, YouTube Live and more.
The Cube can be used camera-top, attaching right into your camera's hot-shoe, or you can mount it onto a rig by an included 1/4" mounting screw. For power, you can use the included AC adapter or you can connect a 2-pin LEMO battery.
Teradek's Cube-355 HD-SDI Decoder with WiFi connects to SDI switchers and monitors and outputs HD video with embedded audio, in H.264, that it receives and decodes from a Teradek encoder. The encoder can stream resolutions as high as 1080p/30. The 355 supports and can output 1080p/30 and via a built-in scaler can upscale any lower resolution. It can receive from the encoder by dual-band WiFi, by Ethernet, or optionally via a 3G/4G USB modem, which connects into a USB port.
The Cube features an internal 2-hour battery and can also be powered by an included AC adapter or an optional Teradek/SWIT 945, D54, or VGB6 2-pin Lemo battery. A 1/4" thread allows 1/4" mounting but being on the output side, the 355 can simply be used table-top.
