April 08, 2022, Taipei, Taiwan - Advantech, a leading provider of industrial computing solutions, has announced that the latest software releases for its VEGA-3311 video encoding card and VEGA-2002 encoder/streamer module enable significantly enhanced integration with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), Zoom, and Microsoft Teams.

Specifically Designed for Video Processing and Streaming

VEGA-3311 is a 4K HEVC broadcast video capture and encoding accelerator card designed for processing broadcast media. Equipped with the latest driver and SDK releases for Microsoft Windows operating systems, VEGA-3311 is capable of multi-channel video capturing at up to 4Kp60 and real-time 10-bit 4:2:2 HEVC/AVC encoding with low power consumption. Under OBS, VEGA-3311 cards can support live video capture via 3G/12G-SDI for composition and accelerate live encoding of program output via a single-slot solution. Moreover, VEGA-3311 can be installed in most PCI Express-based devices, such as Advantech’s VEGA-7020 high-density video server. 

VEGA Solutions Integrated with OBS

Video from cameras and media players can be captured by the VEGA-3311 video encoding card to serve as video sources in OBS. This allows users to flexibly combine live video streams from VEGA-3311 with decorative frames and artwork according to application requirements. OBS is capable of recording live video to file for later playback and delivering compressed video content to most mainstream media streaming sites, including YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. Furthermore, OBS can leverage VEGA-3311’s hardware-based encoding acceleration capabilities to produce high-quality video streams of up to 4K HEVC/AVC 60FPS in real-time.

With OBS also supporting the NewTek™ NDI® linking protocol, users can acquire video content from multiple VEGA-2002-NDI modules installed throughout the environment for easy and convenient video processing and streaming.
