If you’re looking to level up your Prism Rack, the Teradek Prism 877 (12G-SDI) card is basically the "brain" your live production setup needs. It’s a versatile little powerhouse that handles high-end 4K encoding and decoding without breaking a sweat.
Here is the "non-manual" breakdown of what it actually does for you:
Flexibility with 12G-SDI
The card comes with two 12G-SDI ports that you can configure however you need—use them for inputs, outputs, or loops. If you pick up an optional license, it even supports bidirectional traffic, meaning it can encode and decode at the same time.
Pro-Level Video Quality
-
Stunning Resolution: It handles up to DCI 4K60, so your feed stays crisp and professional.
-
Smart Compression: It uses H.264 and HEVC (H.265) to give you that perfect balance of high-quality video and low-latency streaming, even when you're tight on bandwidth.
Built for the Modern Workflow
-
Cloud & Protocols: It’s fully "Camera-to-Cloud" ready and supports all the industry standards like SRT, RTMP, and RTSP.
-
Audio & Overlays: You get 8-channel audio support and the ability to bake in up to 10 overlays directly.
-
Reliable Recording: You can record your streams to an SD card or use the built-in 256GB NVME storage for a more robust internal backup.
It’s a solid, future-proof choice for anyone doing serious live broadcast or event production.
