Teradek Cubelet Series Overview
This Teradek Cubelet 655 Encoder with 675 Decoder bundle is a full point-to point video streaming solution. Attach the Cube 655 Encoder to your HD or SD video source via HDMI or SDI, and it will encode it into an H.264 stream prior to broadcasting. The Cube 655 can be networked using hardwired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB with an LTE modem. On the other end, the Cube 675 decodes the H.264-encoded signal via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB, and outputs an uncompressed HDMI or SDI signal for monitoring the streaming feed. A hard case with foam cutouts is included for storing both Cubes along with the small essentials included with both Cube units.
Teradek Cube 655 H.264 HD Encoder
The Teradek Cube 655 is a real-time H.264 encoder with 3G-SDI and HDMI inputs. It encodes up to 1080p video at bit rates up to 15 Mbps, allowing for high-quality images to be streamed over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB (Wi-Fi streaming is limited to 10 Mbps). When bandwidth is limited, adaptive bit rate allows the Cube to automatically adjust and stream at the highest quality possible. The Cube 655 can ingest up to 1080p60 signals, but outputs them at a frame rate of 30 fps (or lower, per your selection), for a max output of 1080p30.
Cube 655 features support for 33-point 3D LUTs, as well as Pomfort LiveGrade integration that lets you monitor graded footage on the set or afterwards. Looks can be applied to the stream or controlled separately using the free Teradek TeraView app (iOS). Cube also offers support for USB modems for streaming video live over cellular networks.
Cube 655 has an SD card slot that enables you to record the stream for post-production, in which case the recording bit rate and resolution match the encoded stream quality. The Cube 655 also has a configurable test pattern generator that lets you test your stream without connecting a video source, and prevents interruptions if video sync is lost.
You can monitor the video stream on up to six networked iOS devices simultaneously using the Teradek TeraView or VUER app, or six Android devices using the Teradek VLC app, or a mix-and-match of six to accommodate both iOS and Android users. This allows clients, the crew, and the director to see the footage at the same time in real time.
Cube 655 has a robust aluminum housing and an OLED display with joystick navigation buttons. It is manufactured in the USA.

Teradek Cube 675 H.264 HD Decoder
The Teradek Cube 675 H.264 HD Decoder is a compact H.264 decoding solution that is useful on set and in the studio for receiving compressed video signals. On set, the Cube 675 can be connected to an HDMI or SDI monitor for a live feed coming in from your IP network. Alternately, the Cube 675 can be used in a remote studio location as a receiver of a point-to-point IP stream over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB modem. Wi-Fi and direct Ethernet connectivity make the Cube 675 a versatile option for productions requiring real-time decoding.
Teradek Protective Case for Teradek Cube Encoder/Decoder
The Protective Case from Teradek is a hard case that can be used to hold two Teradek Cube encoders/decoders, along with their shipping components.
