6 MPEG-2 Encoder
Instruction Manual
Section 2 — Product Summary
2.1 Revision History & Reason
The fourth release of the manual (S/W releases 1111 to 1114/ECN J833) added the following features:
• DHCP control
• Remote update capability
• Configuration file capability
• Changed Event Log's time to local time from UTC.
• Added EAS indication on LED's on front panel.
• Added low latency mode for HDE-HVC-PRO
SPTS IP capability was added in the third issue of this instruction manual. The second issue added model HDE-HVC-PRO.
2.2 Product Application & Description
Application:
SDE-4AV-QAM (MPEG-2 Enhanced SD Encoder) provides superior Standard Definition (SD) encoding allowing the
operator to use low video bit rates freeing up valuable bandwidth, while preserving video quality. The unit accepts up to
four (4) standard-definition (SD) input programs in NTSC baseband Audio/Video format. Each input program is digitized,
MPEG-2 encoded, the outputs are available in the following formats simultaneously: 1xQAM, 1xASI, and IP (GigE; SD
Mode: 1xMPTS + 4xSPTS; HD Mode: 1xSPTS).
Easy HD migration can be achieved with optional HD-PRO software (Stk# 6364 LIC). Field installable, the encoder
becomes a HDE-HVC-PRO that can be configured for either HD or SD operation via its web interface. The web page
headers will change from "SDE-4AV-QAM" to "HDE-HVC-PRO" after the HD S/W upgrade installation.
HDE-HVC-PRO (Professional Series MPEG-2 HD/SD Encoder) is especially designed to deliver superior motion optimization
for programming such as fast-paced live sporting events and is configurable in either HD or SD mode via its web interface.
When operating in HD Mode, the encoder accepts one (1) program from any one of the following inputs: 1xHDMI
(unencrypted), 1xVGA or 1xComponent. In SD Mode the encoder operates the same as the SDE-4AV-QAM above.
The encoders supports Dolby® Digital audio encoding, and Closed Captioning (EIA-608). They are also equipped with an
Emergency Alert System (EAS) interface, accepting NTSC video and baseband L/R audio for EAS signal inputs. Front-panel
RF test points allows for monitoring/testing of the QAM outputs without service interruption.
Comprehensive remote monitoring and control is accomplished using any standard Web browser via a rear-panel
10/100Base-T Ethernet connection.
Features:
• HD Mode:
(HDE-HVC-PRO / SDE-4AV-QAM + HD PRO S/W Opt.)
1xHDMI (unencrypted), 1xVGA, 1xComponent, and 1xComposite
• SD Mode: Accepts up to four (4) programs in NTSC baseband A/V format
• Digitizes, MPEG-2 encodes, & multiplexes up to four programs into one MPTS
• Simultaneously delivers the following outputs: 1xQAM, 1xASI, and IP (GigE; SD 1xMPTS + 4xSPTS; HD 1xSPTS)
• Provides comprehensive GUI-based monitoring and control via standard Web browsers
• Provides a front-panel RF test point (at 20 dB below primary QAM output)
• Configurable to ITU-T J.83 Annex A and B digital QAM formats
• Equipped with EAS interface (Analog Video + L/R Audio)
• Supports Real-time Dolby® Digital audio encoding
• Supports Closed Captioning EIA-608
• Supports user-defined PSIP configuration
