First Generation 4:2:2 Decoder Card; Second Generation 4:2:2 Decoder Card; Third Generation 4:2:2 Card (Multi-Format Decoder); Fourth Generation 4:2:2 Card (Enhanced Multi-Format Decoder) - Ericsson RX8000 Reference Manual

Using the Equipment
3.13.2.5.1 Base Decoder (4:2:0 Only)
The Base Decoder card can support decode of 4:2:0 video formats encoded with
MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC.
This is fitted as standard to all RX8000 units.
3.13.2.5.2 First Generation 4:2:2 Decoder Card (MPEG-2 Only)
The first generation 4:2:2 Decoder card can support decode of SD and HD 4:2:0 and
4:2:2 video encoded with the MPEG-2 format only.
This hardware option is only available on the RX8200.
3.13.2.5.3 Second Generation 4:2:2 Decoder Card (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 AVC Only)
The second generation 4:2:2 Decoder Card can support decode of 4:2:0 and 4:2:2
video formats encoded with MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC.
This card has more power draw than the first generation 4:2:2 Decoder card so can
only be fitted to the RX8200 that has been upgraded with a higher rated power
supply (RX8200/BAS/2 Hardware Base).
This hardware option is only available on the RX8200.
Note : With the appropriate software and licenses, this card can be used to
3.13.2.5.4

Third Generation 4:2:2 Card (Multi-Format Decoder)

The third generation 4:2:2 Decoder Card can support decode of SD and HD 4:2:0
and 4:2:2 video encoded with MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC format. For MPEG-4 AVC,
decode of 1080P50/60 is also supported. It can also support the decode of SD and
HD JPEG-2000 or HEVC video formats. If suitably configured and licensed, it will
automatically switch between these three formats.
This card also improves on the previous generation card as it does not require as
much power to function and therefore can be fitted to any RX8200 Hardware Base.
This hardware option is only available on the RX8200.
Note: HEVC decode support is an early access limited release and is not
3.13.2.5.5

Fourth Generation 4:2:2 Card (Enhanced Multi-Format Decoder)

The fourth generation 4:2:2 Decoder Card can support decode of 4:2:0 and 4:2:2
video formats encoded with MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC or HEVC. For all formats, SD
and HD decode is supported, with 1080P50/60 support for both MPEG-4 AVC and
HEVC. If suitably configured and licensed, it will automatically switch between these
three formats. Future support for SD and HD JPEG-2000 decode is planned.
