Datasheet of ON-AHD-16EM

Overview

EXVIST ON-AHD-16EM – 1080P AHD Encoder w/SD Card & Multi-Protocol Streaming
The EXVIST ON-AHD-16EM is a compact embedded AHD encoder that converts analog AHD video (up to 1080p@60fps) into H.265/H.264 network streams. It supports simultaneous streaming via RTMP, RTSP, SRT, HLS, TS, UDP, and Multicast. With a built-in microSD slot (up to 128GB) for local recording, ONVIF/Hikvision compatibility, cross-browser web UI, and ultra-low latency (70–140ms), it is ideal for live broadcasting, IPTV, CCTV surveillance, video conferencing, and remote teaching.

Application Scenarios

  1. Live broadcasting to YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, Wowza, and RTMP platforms
  2. IPTV systems and multicast streaming for hotels, campuses, or enterprises
  3. CCTV surveillance with NVR integration (ONVIF, Hikvision iVMS-4200/8700)
  4. Video conferencing and telemedicine systems
  5. Remote teaching, e-learning, and major events streaming
  6. Esports and video game live streaming
  7. WeMedia and personal live streaming with HLS for mobile viewing

Hardware


Advantages

  1. Multi-Platform Broadcasting – Supports pulling streams via TS (H.265/H.264) to any server and pushing RTMP (H.264) directly to Wowza, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, Livestream, Wirecast, vMix, and more. Also supports dual-address push streaming.
  2. Comprehensive Protocol Support – RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, HLS, TS, UDP, Multicast, HTTP, HTTPS, ONVIF, and Hikvision private protocol. Works seamlessly with iVMS-4200/8700 and Hikvision NVRs (H.265 recording supported).
  3. True Cross-Browser & User-Friendly UI – Live preview and full configuration on IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Insert logo (JPG 200×200), add OSD text, set AAC audio, adjust bitrate, and remotely upgrade firmware – all from the browser.
  4. Ultra-Low Latency & Flexible Streaming – Stream latency as low as 70–140ms (PC-to-encoder + decoder HDMI output). Supports 6 concurrent RTSP streams, adjustable bitrate (64–12000 Kbps), dual-stream encoding (main/sub), and 1080p@60fps encoding performance.
  5. Compact & Rugged Design – Tiny footprint (38mm × 38mm × 8mm) and lightweight (9.5g), making it easy to embed into any system, install in tight spaces, or use in mobile applications.
