The video-focused THEIA product lines and AI-centered THENA product lines aim to enhance UHD-based workflows in content creation, acquisition, analyzing, postprocessing, archiving, distribution, streaming, and consumption, as the company has claimed in a statement.

At IBC 2025

THEIA R2: Multi-channel and Multi-format recorder & player

A multi-channel UHD and multi-format record and playback 2U system with video codecs for postprocessing, archiving, and distribution. 12G-SDI input and output ports, HDMI input and output ports for video source, preview, playback, and passthrough. Built-in with certified high-quality Apple ProRes 422 HQ, 422, 422 LT and 422 Proxy encode and decode, as well as support of Sony XAVC Class 480/300/100, HEVC, and AVC standards.

The H.264 based proxy in 1080 resolution can also be activated simultaneously when ProRes codec recording is in progress to facilitate operation of editing tools later. The configurable operation modes in THEIA R2 provide flexible setting for 4ch record, 4ch playback, or 2ch record + 2ch playback. It offers selectable and redundant storage record including SATA SSD, SFP+ 10Gbps NAS, and USB-C ports with cross-disk, auto-segmentation, SSD + SSD, SSD + NAS, SSD + USB-C features. The integrated 8ch of analog and digital AES audio input and output ports can be selected for audio monitoring together with audio sources from SDI, HDMI, analog or digital audio port.

A 5.5” AMOLED touch panel, control buttons, shuttle, and USB device ports in THEIA R2 provides signal preview and local device management with network-based web graphic user interface for remote control. Multi-device monitoring and synchronization through RS422 and GPIO ports with VDCP and Sony protocol are also supported in THEIA R2. Liner Timecode (LTC) input and output for timing recording and tri-level reference input and output for device synchronization are available in THEIA R2.

Additionally, an AI accelerator-based module is reserved in THEIA R2 for automatic audio transcription, video index generation, video semantic search and more advanced AI functions over recorded video files.

Selectable 4ch encode, 4ch decode, or 2ch encode + 2ch decode operation mode. HDR10 and HLG for high dynamic range content. The new NDI HX input and output streaming features in plan for software release in Q4 ‘25. Quad-Link 12G-SDI input or output or quadruple 12G-SDI for professional camera and display. HDMI 2.1 input and output for prosumer camera and display. Embedded timecode support through SDI and HDMI interface. Synchronization support for 4ch encoding and decoding with frame accuracy. HLS, RTP, RTMP, SRT, and UDP streaming protocol support with MP4 and MPEG2-TS file format. Local device management through LCD display and front panel buttons with network-based web user interface for remote control and multi-device monitoring. SD and USB ports for local storage and replay. RESTful API for direct and low-level control of device is available. Rack-mount tray available for high-density configuration.

THEIA E1: 8K Extraction system 

A 2U prototype for one channel 8K input with multiple 4K/1080 ROI (Region-of-Interest) select, crop and output. Quad-Link 12G-SDI input for 8Kp60 signal and quadruple 12G/3G-SDI for 4Kp60/1080p60 ROI outputs. Fixed 16:9 aspect ratio with option for arbitrary ratio in ROI selection. An 8K downscaled full-view in 4K/1080 12G/3G-SDI output. Configurable ROI outputs in 4K or 1080 with upscale or downscale applied when ROI select size is configured in 1080 or 4K. A network-based web graphic user interface for ROI setting and configuration, with VISCA joystick control support in plan. RESTful API for direct and low-level control of device is available.

THEIA S1 & S1 LITE: Multi-channel live producer

A 4ch UHD/FHD all-in-one device for live switcher, streamer, and recorder with HDMI and network-based video input. Featuring extensive and advanced digital video effects (including transition effects, keyers, picture-in-picture, logo, CG, subtitles, etc.), video decoding for networking and USB-based input, video encoding for streaming and recording, PTZ control for NDI camera, audio mixing, and multiview and program display, with UVC (USB Video Class) output support to live applications. Control buttons and T-bar for video input, audio input, digital video effect, live streaming, record and preview source management. A network-based web graphic user interface is available for remote control.

THEIA S1 LITE, a lightweight implementation version of THEIA S1, is also available for portable usage scenario with similar I/O and button configurations but in less footprint.

THENA A2: Generative-AI ready edge inference box

A palm-sized fanless edge computing platform with integrated AI inference and multi-channel UHD video processing capabilities. Powered by Hailo-10H AI accelerator for running advanced models including Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision-Language Models (VLMs), and Stable Diffusion to enable video intelligence applications such as video summarization, video-to-text, media search (image-to-image and text-to-image), and image enhancement. Together with multi-core computing engines and multi-channel video engines, and extensive peripherals for video and audio I/O, general-purpose I/O, RS422/RS485/RS232, wireless and wireline networking, USB, and CAN bus for diversified and emerging challenges in broadcasting, manufacturing, secruity and robot industries.
