Benefits
Real Time high quality AVC Video Encoding: Encode and deliver the high-quality AVC video and AAC-LC for delivery
over IPTV, Satellite, Cable, and Terrestrial networks.
•
Professional video and audio inputs: Like all previous Adtec encoders, the edje4000 provides broadcast quality video
and audio inputs including Composite and SDI with pre-processing balanced analog and embedded audio via SDI.
•
Next Generation Pre-Processing: Composite and optional SDI inputs are routed through a time base correcting video
pre-processing block that removes spatial noise, temporal (motion) noise and generally improves encoding efficiency.
Analog Audio levels from analog and SDI embedded audio can be adjusted via software.
•
AAC- Low Complexity (ACC-LC) audio: The AAC-LC CODEC is significantly more efficient than MPEG 1 Layer 2
(Musicam) or Layer 3 (MP3)audio. Deliver the highest fidelity stereo audio with AAC.
•
Reliable Operation: Adtec has delivered over sixty thousand embedded media devices globally. The edje4000 continues
that legacy, offering value and performance unmatched in the industry.
•
Embedded Performance: With a boot time and transport egress of less than 5-seconds, large computer based encoders
simply can not match the high availability Adtec devices offer.
•
RS422 Device Control: Industry standard RS422 (9 Pin) device control supporting Sony protocol. Note: this is an
Optional feature. •
Encapsulated UDP and RTP Streaming: The edje4000 supports raw UDP or Real Time Protocol (RTP) unicast and
multicast transmission utilizing encapsulated MPEG2 transport stream format containing AVC Video and AAC Audio
payloads.
•
MPEG 2 Transport, AVC and AAC CODECs: The edje4000 provides a stable MPEG 2 Transport Stream with AVC video
and AAC-LC audio payloads. MPEG 2 Transport is universally compliant with distribution and storage requirements used by
MPEG, SCTE, DVB, ATSC and DMB standards. Very stable Jitter, rock solid AV Sync, CODEC payloads, ancillary data and
tables are delivered via an industry standard Ethernet interface. •
Manage Content: The included control user interface application allows you to configure, encode and deliver the highest
quality video and audio for your application.
