Cube-400/450 - HD H.264 & MJPEG Decoder with HDMI output

Cube Decoders are designed for placement on small handheld monitors and large HD displays and feature HDMI output.

Cube Decoder is a small, extremely low-power video decoder that pairs ideally with the Cube Encoder. Together they provide an end-to-end streaming video solution for filmmaking, news gathering, and ProAV.   Cube Decoder features extremely low power consumption and a small form-factor that is ideal for mobile applications, and using a Cube Decoder eliminates the need for using a PC to receive and decode video.

Cube Encoders and Decoders can be purchased in pairs that factory default to a point-to-point (ad hoc) WiFi connection.

Simple Setup

Cube's web interface features a Setup Wizard to simplify configuration. After connecting video and powering-up Cube, create a network, logon to Cube's web interface, complete the Setup Wizard, and begin streaming video.

Advanced Compression

Cube uses H.264 High Profile (Level 4.1) video compression, which is the most advanced compression algorithm in the world today, and it features a built-in scaler to convert from 1080 to 720, 480 or 240 resolutions. Users can choose a resolution and target bit rate based on the availability of IP bandwidth. Typical bit rates for HD are between 2-4Mbps, and SD bit rates are typically sub-1Mbps. Cube's end-to-end latency is approximately 1/8-1/2 second.

Small Size

Cube is tiny (about the size of a deck of cards), uses only 2.5W of DC power, and weighs only 7 ounces, and mounts easily to a rail system, cage, hotshoe, or camera baseplate. Cube's line-of-sight WiFi range is approximately 300 feet when used with a high quality WiFi access point. Cube has been tested extensively with RED ONE, Arri Alexa, Panavision Genesis, Canon 5Dii, Canon 7D, various handi-cams and more.
