Description
The Tascam VS-R265 is a half-rack live-streaming hardware encoder/decoder that simultaneously encodes, streams, records, and decodes 4K/UHD (3840x2160p) and Full HD video using both H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 codecs. Operating as a stand-alone unit with no external computer required, the VS-R265 delivers stable, high-efficiency 4K streaming for corporate, education, house-of-worship, government, and entertainment AV installations.
Streaming and Protocols
The VS-R265 supports up to eight simultaneous streams: three RTMP/RTMPS, one RTSP, one HLS, two RTP/UDP unicast, and one RTP/UDP multicast. H.265 (HEVC) encoding delivers H.264-equivalent quality at half the bit rate, making 4K streaming practical over standard networks. Encoding bit rates range from 500 kbps to 30 Mbps over Gigabit Ethernet. A RESTful API (V2) enables integration with professional control systems.
Recording
Record directly to SD/SDHC cards, USB drives, or 17 GB of internal storage in MPEG2-TS or MP4 format. Automatic FTP upload sends recorded files to a network server for archiving. A continuous recording mode automatically deletes the oldest files when storage is full.
Audio Integration
Balanced Euroblock and unbalanced 3.5mm stereo mini-jack audio inputs and outputs support professional and consumer audio levels. Audio can be embedded from analog sources into the HDMI stream or de-embedded from HDMI for local playback. Reference level switching supports up to +20 dBu.
