Safety Precautions - Static Electricity

Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from

damage.

To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis

before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other

cards while the PC is on.

Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush

of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-

tronic components.

Caution! Cautions are included to help you avoid damaging hardware or losing

data. e.g.,

There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the

battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-

ufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

Note! Notes provide optional additional information.

VEGA-2002 User Manual 2

1.1 General Introduction

With video streaming thriving recently, new concepts such as social media and live

streaming are gaining popularity among video professionals. The VEGA-2002 is able

to leverage the ubiquity of mobile networks and the flexibility of over-the-top delivery

without jeopardizing video quality by providing a professional-grade 4K HEVC engine

that can be easily integrated as a portable broadcasting solution. The VEGA-2002 is

a great and powerful module to open new online media opportunities enabling live

event streaming even in the most challenging scenarios where a traditional outside

broadcasting setup is not a feasible option.

The VEGA-2002 is a small, low-power, real-time encoding module based on

Ambarella's video compression technology which supports UHD resolution with

HEVC and AVC codecs.

It captures 4K video content through the SDI or HDMI inputs, then encodes the video

content via Ambarella's H2 processor. The encoded video content can be streamed

to the cloud server with several protocols such as RTSP, RTMP, or even HLS. The

VEGA-2002 can create multiple output streams from a single video input and encode

it individually by using different codecs with different resolutions.

The VEGA-2002 offers a user-friendly HTTP interface and can be remotely controlled

by using a web-based Common Gate Interface (CGI). It supports multiple streaming

protocols that are commonly used by CDNs, which make it easier for users to deliver

their video over-the-top.

1.2 Packing List

Before you begin installing your card, please make sure that the following items have

been shipped:

1 VEGA-2002

1 Power Adapter

If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact to your distributor or

sales representative immediately.
