HEVC MPEG4 H.265 H.264 HDMI to IP Network Video Encoder, 1080P HD Digital Video Audio Encoder Hardware Supports RTSP RTMPS UDP HLS SRT, for IPTV, Live Streaming, YouTube, Facebook, OBS, NVR, etc.

TLDR; Encoder is easy to use, feature packed, reliable, well built and customer service is extremely helpful! I wouldn’t buy an encoder from any other brand going forward. Full review; I had purchased an HDMI encoder from another brand that was advertised to work with VLC. Spoiler alert it didn’t work with VLC player well at all! This uRay encoder is high quality and just works, very simple to use, it streams reliably and has every setting I could think of. Customer service is very responsive to questions and request for assistance. I was curious about the API this device uses and they were able to help me formulate an API call to change the setting I was looking to change. Most other AV companies don’t provide such a high-level of customer service and it’s so great that they provide awesome customer service like this. One thing to be aware of; so far I have only been able to get L-PCM 2 channel stereo audio working with the HDMI encoder. I’ll probably have to down-mix my Dolby 5.1 bitstream audio to 2 channel stereo, not a dealbreaker and I’m not taking off any stars for this since it’s easily fixable on my end and I have not even asked customer support about it yet. I’m sure they would go above and beyond to help anyway they can! All around a great product, great company and good people!

This IPTV encoder was perfect for our project to create a TV channel for our TV provider to include in our channel line-up. This encoder has many easy-to-find settings, which we adjusted to the specifications required by our TV provider. The encoder has been working flawlessly for over 3 months now. Despite power outages here in Florida, the encoder comes right back on when power is restored. This encoder meets our needs.

I've ordered 4 of these so far over two and a half years and they've all worked great. Each one has been used to stream a DVR from one site to another so there's always a full set of cameras visible on a wall-mounted tv. There's no need to keep VMS software running somewhere pulling streams from each individual camera so it's much easier and uses way less bandwidth. I've also only ever needed to program them once, so it keeps people from needing to figure out how to access the cameras on their own or ask me, they just keep going so long as there's power and internet. I use them with the URayCoder decoders which are also easy to set up and reliably run the streams at 1080p and 30fps so they look as good as it does on the screens at the source.

I use this Uray HDMI Encoder to extend my cable throughout my house via cat 5 ethernet cable. My cable box is centrally located and controlled with a wi-fi remote control. I feed the hdmi from set top box to the encoder then from encoder to network switch where it is distributed around the house and decoded by any device with VLC player (**Samsung TVs do not offer VLC for some inconvenient reason). The picture quality seems perfect with 1080p @ 60fps. The lag is a very acceptable 1/2 second or so and the unit is not warm and sits around 6% CPU for this single stream operation. I have read reviews which complain about setting this unit up on the network but the instructions that come with it are very easy to follow. Maybe some more instructions on the settings could come in handy but a few quick google searches had me up and running in no time. I reached out to customer service with some issues but they turned out to be my problems with vlc and not the device. Linda was very responsive and helpful. All in all this is a great device for my purposes. Great picture, easy to use, excellent customer service and exceptional value. Highly recommended!

I've been using the URayCoder MPEG4 H.264 Live HDMI Video Encoder for a few weeks now, and overall, I'm very impressed with its performance and flexibility. The URayCoder HDMI Video Encoder is a fantastic value for the price, especially for users who want a stable, professional-grade streaming setup without breaking the bank. It’s well-suited for content creators, churches, educators, or anyone managing a multi-platform broadcast. With a bit of technical know-how, it delivers excellent results.

This does a great job with video, but not with audio. I'm using this with a URayCoder HDMI encoder but I don't get any audio with this decoder on the HDMI output. I know my RTSP stream has audio -- I can connect via PC to the RTSP stream and get audio, but the decoder only provides video on the HDMI out. Support sent me an updated firmware file, but it hasn't fixed my problem yet.

I have been using this encoder for 18 months plus, and I purchased a second one which upgraded the Ip user interface with a live video feedback from the encoder. They both work well although interfacing with them is a little tough because the user manual is not clear. However it is clear enough to get started. They are work horses but they are especially sensitive to fluctuations in bandwidth. They work without fail as long as your internet connection is stable which is generally for about 1 to 2 hours before your ISP cycles the connection. Nonetheless, if you don’t lose your bandwidth completely they will recover the signal with some refreshing of your browser and your monitoring points. If you use it with a Big online video support CDN like Vimeo or YouTube, you’ll likely lose the live event on those platforms and have to reinitiate a live event in those interfaces. I purchased a more expensive brand of encoder and it performed worse than my U-ray encoders. These encoders are reliable but they don’t reinitiate contact with the streaming CDN after a lose of bandwidth on their own. You are better to connect them to a small CDN where you have more access to controls so when bandwidth is lost for a short time, when it returns you can reconnect with the U-ray coder from the CDN interface. An automatic reconnection process would be a good upgrade for this device. So it automatically retries to connect when bandwidth fails and returns. Also recording on-site is the solution to loss of bandwidth because the cloud recording will have the gaps and poor quality from the Internet drops. Overall I recommend these encoders for use with Fiber connections which do not suffer from ISP cycling or for meetings which last for less than 2 hours before a break where you can power cycle these devices every 1 to 2 hours to reestablish connection to your CDN.

I've been using these URayCoder encoders for years. I have three of them now. They're amazing. They're extremely reliable and the video quality is excellent. Mine are running 24/7 and they never have to be restarted or anything, they just keep working. Excellent product, excellent value.
