Thor » Encoding, Decoding, & Transcoding » ATSC Compliant Encoder for US Broadcasting
The H-SDI-2US-E is a High definition encoder that converts an HD-SDI input into a high definition DVB-ASI and IP Transport Stream output. For added flexibility, this platform also offers HDMI, Component, and VGA inputs. The system is based on the higher bit rate MPEG2 protocol, and is therefore compatible with American cable TV systems. Encoding is based on the a 4:2:2 MPEG2 CODEC for high quality compression. A single HD SDI video signal and up to 8 channels of embedded audio are seamlessly combined into a single transport stream output availible as both ASI and IP. Signal output is provided by a single BNC connector for DVB ASI output and RJ-45 10/100. BNC is also used for the HD-SDI input. The ASI output stream is adjustable for bitrates of 5 Mbps to 25 Mbps. This unit offers encoding based on the Dolby AC3 audio codec, and is therefore fully compliant with the strict MPEG2/AC3 requirements of the US Broadcasting industry. This platform also offers an optional QAM modulator circuit, making it even more versatile for the Broadcaster. With the optional QAM modulator circuit, this unit is able to function as both a High Definition Broadcast Encoder as well as a broadcast QAM modulator. For full ATSC compliance the unit will pass 708 Closed captions from the HD-SDI input, and offers a 608 input via a standard RCA connector.
