M2/ESO2/ACON Auto Concatenation - aligns the Encoder to the previous Encoder’s GOP structure to significantly reduce coding artefacts caused by successive coding and decoding.

  • Page 8: Installing The Equipment

    Voyager E5784 and E5788 HD DSNG Encoder Installing the Equipment Introduction For best performance and reliability follow the instructions for site requirements and installation in the Reference Guide and only use installation accessories recommended by the manufacturers. Operating Voltage AC models are fitted with a wide-ranging power supply. It is suitable for supply voltages of 100-120 Vac -10% +6% or 220-240 Vac -10% +6% at 50/60 Hz nominal.

  • Page 9: Power Supply Stand-By Switch

    Voyager E5784 and E5788 HD DSNG Encoder Power Supply Stand-by Switch This switch puts the Encoder into stand-by mode. It powers down the supply rails of the display and internal circuits within the unit. The switch type avoids accidental powering-down of the Encoder. For normal use, using a screwdriver, ensure that the I is always at the top (see Figure 2.1).

  • Page 20: Set The Vbi Options

    Voyager E5784 and E5788 HD DSNG Encoder > Compression Mode – select the required compression mode. Standard is the default mode. The various seamless modes allow the bit-rate to be changed, over a defined range, without a break in transmission. The low delay modes use various techniques to reduce the encoding delay, but picture quality may reduce (see the Reference Guide for more details).
