Specta 4K

Specta 4K is a small, easy-to-use video encoder and compressor to help transmit video over any network regardless of topology or reliability. Specta compresses your existing video to be transmitted over fixed, cellular, or satellite networks.

  • Up to 4K streaming at very low bitrates
  • Fast configuration and deployment
  • Compatible with leading IP security cameras
  • Specta prioritizes energy efficiency for reduced hardware and power needs

The Specta 4K was developed as an easy entry into low bitrate 4K transmission. It is quickly configurable and can be used in a variety of scenarios, supporting a wide range of video inputs.

Take it with you on a drone mission and transmit reliable, high-quality video over the cellular network. It can be used in an outstation with up to 4 camera inputs and offers more situational awareness than standard encoders with limited camera inputs. Specta 4K supports just about any IP security camera on the market, including ONVIF PTZ cameras with full remote control via your VMS.

Support for USB devices is also available, including small webcam-like devices or HDMI/SDI adapters to increase compatibility with more cameras. Setup is as simple as assigning server and IP settings in the USB configurator, powering on the device and controlling it remotely via the server. Once the connection is established, the server distributes your compressed video feeds as RTSP/ ONVIF S in H.264/H.265 format, keeping the bit rate low.
