Compact Hardware Encoder for Reliable Live Streaming
The Resi Mini brings RSP, Studio automation, and On Demand to a 1 lb device that fits in a backpack — no rack, no broadcast crew, no compromises. Available in HDMI starting at $699.99 and SDI starting at $1,099.99.
Resi Mini Encoders
Available in HDMI and SDI models, the Resi Mini is a compact hardware encoder purpose-built for Resi’s livestreaming platform. At just 1 lb, it fits in any bag and deploys in any environment — making broadcast-grade reliability accessible to small churches, traveling ministries, school AV teams, and anyone who needs a stream that works without a rack-mounted setup or a dedicated broadcast crew.
Pro signal integrity. Mini form factor. The SDI model is built for professional AV environments — broadcast cameras, video switchers, SDI routing matrices — where signal integrity over longer cable runs and locking connections are non-negotiable. Loop Out keeps a confidence monitor or recording device in the chain without a splitter.

The easiest way into Resi. The HDMI model is the go-to for teams running consumer or prosumer cameras — simpler setups, first encoders, and budget-conscious buyers who want Resi reliability without the server-grade price tag.

HDMI or SDI? Pick the Model That Fits Your Rig.
Both models run the same Resi platform and the same Resilient Streaming Protocol. The difference comes down to your existing gear.
Choose HDMI if you’re running a consumer or prosumer camera setup, prioritizing simplicity, or buying your first encoder. Choose SDI if your signal chain includes broadcast cameras, a video switcher, or SDI routing equipment — or if you need to run cable more than 15 feet without signal degradation.Not sure which one is right for your setup?
Plug It In. It Figures Out the Rest.
The Mini auto-detects your input and optimizes encoding for web broadcast. No configuration labyrinth. No technician required. For teams where “nobody has time for this” is a constant reality, that’s not a minor detail — it’s the entire point.
Recurring Streams That Run Themselves
Set up your schedule once in Studio and walk away. Church services, board meetings, weekly broadcasts — recurring events stream automatically, week after week, without anyone touching the encoder. Volunteers don’t need training. Tech directors don’t need to babysit it.
One Encoder. Every Platform.
Stream simultaneously to YouTube, Facebook, your website, and mobile or TV apps — all from one device through Resi’s cloud. Whatever platform your audience is on, they’re covered. Combine that with Resi On Demand and your content keeps working long after the live stream ends.
Video Quality That Adapts to Your Viewers
Resi’s cloud automatically converts your stream into multiple bitrates, so viewers get the best quality their internet connection and device can support. Your production team sets the stream. Resi handles the delivery.
Support That Doesn’t Wait for Something to Break
Resi’s platform provides proactive monitoring and reports, with full phone and email support seven days a week — including the day of your event. Because the worst time to discover a problem is after it’s already happened in front of your audience.
The Protocol That Keeps Your Stream Live
The Mini runs Resi’s patented Resilient Streaming Protocol (RSP) — the same technology powering large-church productions and enterprise broadcasts, fully onboard in a 1 lb device. RSP buffers and recovers data in real time, so your audience never sees network instability. Gym Wi-Fi, hotel internet, a cellular hotspot in rural Alaska — it doesn’t matter. The stream stays live.
This is what separates the Mini from every other encoder at this price point. Other encoders don’t have RSP. That’s not a marketing claim. It’s the difference between a stream that works and one that sometimes works.
Built for the Teams That Stream Without a Broadcast Crew
Churches streaming their first service or adding an encoder for the youth room. Traveling ministries and church planters operating out of a rented gymnasium. School IT coordinators streaming board meetings to meet transparency mandates. Athletic directors capturing Friday night games from outdoor fields with unpredictable cellular. Wedding coordinators who need the stream to run without intervention on the most important day of someone’s life.
The Mini is built for the environments where dedicated broadcast infrastructure isn’t practical — and where a failed stream has real consequences.
