NxVi THEIA T1 MINI – Glue Equipment

The T1 MINI supports three operating modes: 4-channel encode only, 4-channel decode only, or hybrid 2-channel encode + 2-channel decode. You cannot run full 4+4 simultaneously due to internal processing architecture. For OB workflows requiring parallel encode and decode, plan either dual units or confirm your actual I/O demands map to the hybrid mode. The flexibility exists, but capacity is fixed per configuration.

HEVC bitrate range is 10–240 Mbps variable across all channels. Real-time encode latency is typically sub-100ms at professional quality settings, though exact values depend on target bitrate, quantization, and GOP structure—request a datasheet or demo for your specific codec preset. Multi-channel encoding shares processing: expect bitrate headroom to distribute across channels, and confirm dual Gigabit Ethernet (2×1 Gbps) is sufficient for your streaming destinations, especially if aggregating multiple 4K streams.

8Kp60 HEVC is available via firmware upgrade; it is a single-channel mode, not four-channel. This is a software unlock on existing hardware. To use it, you sacrifice multi-channel flexibility. Confirm the upgrade is available for your firmware version and that your downstream infrastructure (network, storage, decode endpoints) supports 8K bitrates—typical requirements exceed 100+ Mbps at pro quality. Plan bandwidth and endpoint validation before deploying.

Yes. The T1 MINI accepts 1080p60 and 1080i60 natively alongside 4K inputs on its four 12G-SDI ports. However, each operating mode processes channels uniformly—mixing frame rates or resolutions within a single encode/decode session requires verification against your firmware build. Test your exact frame-rate combination in advance. The Web GUI and front-panel LCD allow per-channel monitoring, but confirm format flexibility with your sales engineer before committing to a mixed-standard workflow.

The T1 MINI provides Web-based GUI, RESTful API, and front-panel LCD for control. The API enables script-driven bitrate adjustment, stream start/stop, and parameter changes—ideal for remote flypack operation via cellular or satellite link. Set static presets before deployment and rely on API calls for runtime tweaks. IP failover and redundancy are achievable via dual Gigabit Ethernet ports; document your API integration and test end-to-end latency over your actual uplink to avoid surprises in the field.

The T1 MINI is SDI and HDMI native. Streaming output supports MPEG-TS over UDP/RTP, RTMP, HLS, SRT, and NDI HX (planned Q4 2025), but not direct ST 2110 IP video output. For ST 2110 integration, you need external IP gateways (e.g., SMPTE 2110 IPP-compatible devices) to convert SDI outputs or accept MPEG-TS streams and bridge them into your ST 2110 fabric. Clarify your topology and confirm gateway compatibility with your systems integrator.

Exact power consumption is not published in the verified specifications; contact the manufacturer for DC and AC input requirements and thermal dissipation. Typical broadcast glue equipment of this class draws 200–400W. For OB vans, confirm vehicle generator capacity and plan dedicated AC distribution. UPS buffering is recommended for safe shutdown during vehicle engine cycles; dual PSU or hot-swap modules should be clarified with your sales engineer. Document power and cooling requirements before final van integration.

The T1 MINI does not offer built-in input failover or redundancy switching. If a source SDI channel loses signal, that encode/decode channel stops; other channels continue unaffected. For mission-critical live encoding, design external redundancy: use a SDI router or switcher upstream to select between primary and backup sources, or deploy dual T1 MINI units with hot standby via SRT or RTMP failover at the streaming destination. Failover discipline must be implemented at the architecture level, not the unit.

The T1 MINI includes USB 3.0 and SD card slot for storage I/O. However, the unit is primarily an encoder/decoder, not a recording appliance—confirm whether direct file-write to USB/SD is supported or if you must capture streams via network (MPEG-TS, RTMP, HLS, or SRT) using external recording software or appliances. Most broadcast workflows use external file recorders (e.g., SRT or RTMP ingest to NAS or server). Verify your recording architecture with your integrator and test USB throughput if direct-attached storage is required.

Yes, every used or ex-demo unit is tested and covered by a 90-day warranty. In the event of a failure, the round-trip transport cost is shared equally between the customer and Broadcast Depot.

Yes, Broadcast Depot ships worldwide. We arrange transport on quotation, or you can use your own carrier. Delivery usually takes 3 to 5 days. OB vans are delivered by driver or collected on site.
