The bitrate allocation can then be distributed among the different encoders on a timely basis according to the difficultly of encoding the individual streams. The TANDBERG Television encoders use a lookahead system to estimate the bits required and a controller uses this information to determine the instantaneous bitrate for each encoder.

Where TANDBERG Television product contains potentially hazardous materials, this is indicated on the product by the appropriate symbol containing the EFUP. For TANDBERG Television products, the hazardous material content is limited to lead (Pb) in some solders. This is extremely stable in normal use and the EFUP is taken as 50 years, by comparison with the EFUP given for Digital Exchange/Switching Platform in equipment in Appendix A of “General Rule of Environment-Friendly Use Period of Electronic Information Products”.

This feature looks at the AES stream to determine if the stream is dual mono or other. If other is indicated then the encoder assumes a stereo source. Audio Coding Modules in Encoder The EN8000 Standard Definition Encoder has two separate audio encoding modules: • Standard MPEG stereo audio encoding including MPEG-1 Layer II and Dolby Digital.
Page 190: Analogue Audio
The analogue input is balanced, so, connecting an unbalanced output causes the level to drop by 6 dB. If impedance is incorrectly set this could lead to an unexpected audio level. Page E-6 Reference Guide: EN8000 MPEG-4 PArt 10 (H.264/AVC) Encoders ST.RE.E10233.1...
