EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Who Should Use This User Guide? This User Guide is written for operators/users of the EN5990 Encoder to assist in installation and operation. It is not intended to be a detailed source of information.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Table 1.3: Software Options Marketing Code Description EN5900/SWO/AC3 Allows the audio input to be encoded using the Dolby AC-3 encoder. EN5900/SWO/BISS Allows the output transport stream to be scrambled using the Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) with a operator defined key.
A.C. Models A.C. 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. -48 Vdc Models Model EN5990/BAS/48V uses a –48 Vdc power supply.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Power Cable and Earthing Check that the power cable is suitable for the country in which the Encoder is to be used. WARNINGS 1. The Technical Earth is not a Protective earth for electric shock protection.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Connecting Up the Encoder Always use the specified cables supplied for signal integrity and compliance with EMC requirements (see the Reference Guide). The connectors illustrated in Figure 2.2 and described in Table 2.1 are active.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 NOTE Refer to the Reference Guide for all power supply, fuse, safety, EMC information and operating conditions. Connecting the Encoder to the Power Supply WARNINGS 1. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Operating the Equipment From the Front Panel Introduction The front panel display and keypad may be used to configure, control and monitor the Encoder when an external control system is not used. Establishing Local Control At power-on the Encoder runs through a boot sequence where the operation of different modules within the Encoder are checked.

EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Set the Remote Control Options Before the Encoder is to be controlled via its Ethernet interface, the IP address of the unit must be set in the Remote Control Menu from the front panel.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Video Input – select the HD-SDI video input in terms of frame rate and resolution required. If desired, the Encoder can detect the input frame rate automatically and adjust the encoding accordingly (see the Reference Guide for details).
(CBR). Video Quality Versus Bitrate Versus Channel Switching The implementation of H.264/AVC algorithm used for the EN5990 has been optimised to produce broadcast quality video at very low bitrates. However there are bitrates below which the algorithm cannot maintain broadcast quality. It should be remembered that the cut-off bitrates involved depend on the content being encoded.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 Resolution Reduction: the horizontal resolution of the image can be reduced from the full resolution of the input to lessen the information in the image and hence the number of bits required to encode it. This has no effect on channel switch time.
However this I picture is still a valid random access point as no picture following it in display order ever references a picture preceding it. All I pictures from TANDBERG TV encoders can be used for random access, this is signaled by the Random Access Indicator flag in the Adaptation Field of the video transport stream packet.
EN5990 Encoder for MPEG-4 Part 10 What Parameter Values Should be Used to Optimise Video Quality? The parameters discussed in Chapter 4 are the most important parameters for the operation of the encoder and these parameters should be set initially. However there are other parameters that can be used to further optimise the video quality.
