The IP-SDI 4i with SDI is an MPEG-2/H.264 IPTV decoder with internal scaler. The unit is part of a family of products from Contemporary Research that can be used to form an end-to-end IPTV distribution system. The unit is also compatible with many industry standard hardware and software encoders.

The decoder is compatible with unicast or multicast UDP and RTP IPTV stream. It will accept MPEG-2 or H.264 single program or multiple program transport streams encoded at resolutions up to 1080P 60Hz. A channel list of programs is uploaded from a PC running CR Toolbox software or RS-232 command. The unit may be controlled from the front panel buttons, handheld IR remote, on board web GUI, or external control system.
