AMX NMX-ENC-N2612S AMX N2600 Encoder, Dual Stream Codec
Description
AMX NMX-ENC-N2612S AMX N2600 Encoder, Dual Stream Codec
The AMX NMX-ENC-N2612S is a professional-grade dual-stream encoder in a compact stand-alone chassis, built for networked audio/video workflows where simultaneous multi-resolution capture and distribution are required. This unit handles simultaneous 4K and 1080p encoding in a single device, making it essential for studios and production facilities deploying flexible multi-resolution monitoring and streaming across mixed-bandwidth network infrastructures.
Encoding & Codec Performance
The encoder simultaneously delivers 4K60 4:4:4 MWC codec on one stream paired with H.264 1080p on a second stream, allowing a single source to feed both high-fidelity reference displays and bandwidth-constrained distribution channels for streaming or remote monitoring. This dual-codec approach eliminates the need for separate encoding devices while maintaining full color depth and resolution flexibility across multiple output destinations—critical for session work where reference quality and delivery specs coexist.
Connectivity & Integration
Built-in Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub technology extends full-bandwidth USB 2.0 signals and supports connection to up to 4 remote decoders, while a web-based interface provides video preview and system management. The encoder's network-centric design integrates seamlessly into studio AV-over-IP setups without requiring dedicated control software, streamlining session workflows and remote collaboration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the dual-stream approach useful in professional AV installations?
The encoder simultaneously delivers 4K60 4:4:4 MWC codec on one output paired with H.264 1080p on a second stream, allowing a single source to feed both high-fidelity displays and bandwidth-constrained distribution channels without requiring separate encoding devices. This is ideal for venues where some endpoints have high bandwidth and others do not.
How does remote decoder support work with this encoder?
The built-in Virtual Network USB 2.0 Hub technology extends full-bandwidth USB 2.0 signals over the network and supports connection to up to 4 remote decoders via a single connection, allowing you to control peripherals across a networked AV system without additional hardware.
Is external control software required to operate this encoder?
No, the encoder features a web-based interface for video preview and system management, and its network-centric design integrates into AV-over-IP installations without requiring dedicated external control software.
What resolutions and frame rates does this encoder support?
The NMX-ENC-N2612S supports 720x480p60, 1024x768p60, 1600x1200@60Hz, and 4K resolutions including 3840x2160@60Hz and 4096x2160@60Hz, with simultaneous 4K60 4:4:4 and 1080p encoding.
Is this unit suitable for portable touring applications?
Yes; the compact stand-alone chassis and network-centric design make it well-suited for live performance and touring operations where you need professional AV distribution without dedicated control systems or additional encoding boxes.
