Portable media encoder with remote setup management interface
First Claim
1. A remotely controllable portable media encoder comprising:
- a video input port configured to receive a video input from a video input source;
an audio input port configured to receive an audio input from an audio input source;
a digital output port for providing a digital output stream corresponding to the received video input and audio input;
an encoding processor that converts the video input and the audio input into a streamable digital output format for transmitting through the digital output port;
a digital control input port for receiving commands from a remote management computer over the Internet using a web browser and providing the commands to the encoding processor; and
a housing enclosing the processor and providing at least one access panel providing user access to the video input port, the audio input port, the digital output port, and the digital control input port, the housing having a size and configuration that allows the encoder to be hand carried by a single individual.

Abstract
A portable media encoder with a remote setup management interface is disclosed. The encoder provides a video input port configured to receive a video input from a video input source, an audio input port configured to receive an audio input from an audio input source, and a digital output port for providing a digital output stream corresponding to the received video input and audio input. An encoding processor converts the video input and the audio input into a streamable digital output format for transmitting through the digital output port, and a digital control input port for receives commands from a remote management computer over the Internet using a web browser and provides the commands to the encoding processor. A housing encloses the processor and provides at least one access panel providing user access to the video input port, the audio input port, the digital output port, and the digital control input port. The housing has a size and configuration that allows the encoder to be hand carried by a single individual.
