Haivision Network Video is showcasing the new Viper™ at InfoComm. The Viper, Haivision's fifth-generation H.264 technology, is an ultra-compact, integrated appliance for capturing, streaming, reviewing, distributing, and publishing multistream HD and computer graphics content. The Viper simplifies the recording and streaming of multistream content through a high-resolution touch panel. It is ideal for capturing and streaming presentations, lectures, simulations, training sessions, and other events where a single camera source is insufficient to reflect the subject matter. The Viper, supporting dual DVI or DVI with HD-SDI inputs, encodes and captures rich content generated by a computer as HD H.264 at full frame rate. There is never the need to upload content files to a server.

The Viper includes high-performance encoding hardware, building on the company's Makito™ technology, to capture and stream two synchronous channels of HD and/or computer sources. It can be used with Haivision's Furnace IP video system to reduce the reliance on high-powered networks and central recording servers. The Viper can also be used as a powerful stand-alone complete IP video server system (ViperMAX™). With ViperMAX, users throughout a facility can watch live multistream events or review rich media presentations on demand using Haivision's patented InStream™ player technology.
