The new JVC KA-EN200G encoder

JVC was going to present at NAB 2020 its new KA-EN200G H265 / HEVC streaming encoder. With the new transmission encoder we can achieve much more efficient transmissions thanks to the compression they perform on the signal coming from a JVC camera.

For this purpose, they have used the HEVC standard, which is much more efficient than H264. In this way, the transmission speed is much higher as well as the quality of the images, using a smaller bandwidth. Not only do we gain in speed, we also increase the bits of the image, leaving behind the 8 bits and being able to use the 10 bits at a sampling of 422.

At the moment the new KA-EN200G encoder will be available for 2 JVC camcorders, the GY-HC500 / 550 and GY-HC900. The system is very simple, justinsert the encoder into the camcorderslot, and from there start working.

The signal that allows us to transmit the JVC KA-EN200G encoder is a signal in HD and with video gamma standard 709, HLG or J-Log. The fact that it incorporates HDR encoding is also an added value for these cameras, as it is a demand that more and more productions are asking for.

JVC develops the encoder thinking about the live transmission of the broadcast and streaming world, to achieve a simpler and more efficient workflow without sacrificing quality. Therefore they are committed to the new HEVC standard and implement the latest technologies with smarter solutions.

The design of the encoder has been designed to work in normal working conditions, withstanding temperatures between 0 and 40º. The connection port used is a USB type C port.

As for the transmission protocols supported by the KA-EN200G encoder we have UDP, Zixi and SRT. For decoding, JVC recommends users the BR-DE900 decoder.
