SRT Support
Support for SRT the open-source SRT video transport protocol optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal, producing the high-quality live video over the network. The HELO Plus uses SRT (plus encryption) to deliver streaming video content securely with low latency and secure reliability.
Simultaneous Streaming & Recording
Stream and record up to 1080p60 video simultaneously in these combinations:
- Stream to two destinations and record to local SD card storage
- Stream to two destinations and record to local USB storage
- Stream to two destinations and record to NFS/CIFS network storage
Calendar Integration
HELO Plus offers a scheduler that triggers pre-planned start/stop recording and streaming for AV, live events, houses of worship, webcasting, corporate communications, production, and post projects requiring definitive schedules. The schedule may be programmed locally through HELO Plus’ web UI, importing .ics files, or linking to external schedulers like Google Calendar.
Multiple-Input Layouts
Use the HELO Plus to combine multiple SDI and HDMI inputs into a single screen with a graphic element overlay with up to three layers. Each live video source can be downscaled for PiP use with internally generated mattes positioned over the PiP element. Up to 10 layouts can be stored and recalled in each of the 20 presets and 90+ images can be stored internally.
Dual Streaming Outputs
The HELO Plus uses dual encoders for its streaming outputs, offering the flexibility to create different output settings from a single input source. These two encoders can be set to different packaging settings and different output frame sizes, enabling a single content stream to be presented in two ways to serve a wider audience. A single stream can also be duplicated across both encoders for added resilience. Either of these encoder outputs can serve as the source for the HELO Plus recording system as well.
