AVMatrix SE2017 SDI/HDMI Streaming Encoder & Recorder

AVMatrix SE2017: Stream, Record, and Capture in One Box

The AVMatrix SE2017 is a 3-in-1 SDI/HDMI streaming encoder, recorder, and USB capture device that handles live streaming, local recording, and computer capture from a single unit at up to 1080p60. It is the do-everything workhorse for a small production that needs a safety net, a stream, and a webcam feed at the same time. For lecture-capture rooms and worship media teams stretched thin, it quietly covers three jobs at once.

Three Functions, One Signal Path

Most workflows need a stream going out, a recording for archive, and sometimes a feed into a computer, historically three separate boxes. The SE2017 integrates all three: it encodes to IP for live streaming, writes an independent MP4 or TS file to USB or SD as a backup, and presents a USB-C UVC device to a computer. Because these run in parallel, a live stream can be recorded locally as insurance while the same source also appears as a webcam in software, with no extra hardware.

What UVC Capture Means

The USB-C output is UVC (USB Video Class) compliant, meaning any computer sees it as a standard webcam with no drivers to install. That lets professional SDI or HDMI cameras appear directly in OBS, Zoom, Teams, or any conferencing and streaming app as if they were built-in cameras, at up to 1080p60. It effectively converts broadcast cameras into plug-and-play sources for software-based production.

Flexible I/O and Power

The SE2017 accepts both SDI and HDMI inputs, each with a loop-out for local monitoring, plus a line audio input and embedded audio. Its full protocol suite (RTMP, SRT, RTSP, RTP, HTTP, UDP with unicast/multicast) and up-to-32 Mbps encoding cover every common streaming destination, and SRT adds resilience on shaky networks. Power over Ethernet or DC means it can run from a single network cable, simplifying installation where power outlets are scarce.

Ideal Applications

The SE2017 suits productions that must stream, record, and capture a camera simultaneously: lecture capture, houses of worship, and events wanting a backup recording while live. Its UVC capture turns SDI/HDMI cameras into webcams for software production, and PoE powering makes it a tidy choice for permanent installs. Education, worship, and corporate AV teams value it as a single accessible box that replaces an encoder, a recorder, and a capture card.
