2.2 Product Application & Description
Application:
HDE-2H/2S-QAM (MPEG-2 HD Encoder – 2xHDMI/2xHD-SDI/4xComponent/Composite – 4xQAM) accepts up to four (4)
high-definition (HD) programs from any of the following inputs: 2xHDMI (unencrypted), 2xHD-SDI, and 4xComponent/
Composite. MPEg-2 encoded outputs are available in the following formats simultaneously: 4xQAM, 4xgigE (1000base-T
Ethernet), and 4xASI.
To improve transport efficiency, the encoder allows operator to (i) assign one (1) to four (4) programs to each QAM output
channel, and (ii) to individually turn on/off each of the four (4) adjacent QAM output channels.
The encoder supports Dolby® Digital audio encoding, and Closed Captioning (EIA-608 and EIA-708). It is also equipped with
an Emergency Alert System (EAS) interface. A front-panel RF test point allows for monitoring/testing of the QAM output
without service interruption.
Comprehensive remote monitoring and control is accomplished using any standard Web browser via a front-panel
10/100Base-T Ethernet connection.
Features:
• Accepts up to four (4) programs from any of the following inputs: 2xHDMI (unencrypted), 2xHD-SDI, and 4xComponent/
Composite
• Simultaneously delivers the following outputs: 4xQAM, 4xgigE, and 4xASI
• Multiplexes up to four (4) input programs in any of the following output combinations:
(i) 1:1 (1 program per QAM channel)
(ii) 2:1 (2 programs per QAM channel, not exceeding 38.8Mbps)
(iii) 3:1 (3 programs per QAM channel, not exceeding 38.8Mbps)
(iv) 4:1 (4 programs per QAM channel, not exceeding 38.8Mbps)
• Each of the four (4) QAM channels can (i) contain 1 to 4 programs, and (ii) be turned on/off individually
• Pr52 dbmV QAM output level for four (4) combined channels (+60 dbmV for 1 QAM)
• Provides comprehensive gUI-based monitoring and control via standard Web browsers
• Supports Closed Captioning EIA-608 and EIA-708
• Equipped with EAS interface (Analog Video + L/R Audio)
• Supports Real-time Dolby® Digital audio encoding
• Supports user-defined PSIP configuration
Real Time Application:
The HDE-2H/2S-QAM is designed to accept up to four (4) high-definition programs as a combination of the following:
i) up to two (2) inputs from any of the following: Component 1, Component 2, Composite 1, Composite 2, HDMI 1, or HD-SDI 1
ii) up to two (2) inputs from any of the following: Component 3, Component 4, Composite 3, Composite 4, HDMI 2, or HD-SDI 2
Once MPEG-2 encoded, the four (4) output programs can be assigned to either Single Program Transport Streams (SPTS) or
Multi-Program Transport Streams (MPTS). The four (4) output programs can be assigned to the QAM, ASI, and IP outputs
as follows:
No. of SPTS
No. of MPTS
No. QAM RF
