Z3 Technology SBE-12G 12G SDI Encoder Board with 4Kp60 H.265 and HDMI Input
Z3 Technology SBE-12G is a high-performance 12G-SDI encoder (also supporting HDMI and 3× 3G-SDI) built for ultra-low latency recording and streaming in demanding professional and mission-critical environments. Designed around a 1.6 GHz dual-core Arm Cortex-A76 with CVflow AI acceleration, the SBE-12G enables on-the-edge analytics (CNNs, deep learning, and transformer networks) while maintaining low power consumption—ideal where size, weight, and power matter.
Purpose-built for integration, the SBE12G delivers H.265/HEVC, H.264, and MJPEG encoding up to 4Kp60 with flexible output protocols including RTP/RTSP, MPEG-2 TS, RTMP, and SRT (with AES encryption options). It also supports cyber-security features (service disable, SNMPv2/v3, authentication), precise timestamps (MISB compliant), and robust control options (Web GUI, API, ONVIF, SSH/Serial). NDAA compliant and Made in America, the SBE12G is a trusted encoder platform for aerospace, medical, military, robotics, broadcast, and surveillance deployments.
