Portable media encoder with remote session management interface
First Claim
1. A portable media encoder comprising:
- a video input port configured to receive a video input from a video source;
an audio input port configured to receive an audio input from an audio 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 console and providing the commands to the encoding processor;
a housing enclosing the encoding 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 is disclosed. A portable media encoder includes a a video input port configured to receive a video input from a video source, an audio input port configured to receive an audio input from an audio source, and 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 is provided. A digital control input port for receiving commands from a remote management console and providing the commands to the encoding processor is also provided. A housing enclosed the encoding processor and provides at least one access panel facilitating 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
