Table 2-2: Video Encoding Features  

Feature

Support

Input format

Serial digital or analog composite

Video format

Serial digital:  525-lines or 625-lines
Analog composite: NTSC, PAL, and PAL-M

Encoding mode

MPEG-2 MP@ML 4:2:0 encoding

Repeat field 
detection

Supported

Horizontal 
resolutions

720, 704, 640, 544, 528, 480, 352

Advanced encoding

Alternate scan mode, zig-zag mode, flexible GOP structure, 

 

4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio

Video preprocessing

ENRGY™ Integrated Noise Reduction System

Horizontal filter, border processing, nonlinear spatial filter, 
impulse noise reduction, motion compensated temporal low 
pass filter (MCTF), luma and chroma filter, and edge-adaptive 
texture filter

PSIP tables spooling

Closed captioning

Line 21

ATSC Line 21 CEA-608

ITU-R BO.1294

DVS-157 (GI CC)

SCTE 20 (True DVS-157)

SAUD (SA CC)

DMV1 (Tandberg CC)

DVS-157+SAUD

Extend Data Services (XDS)

(525-line VBI) 608 to 708 conversion

VBR

Support for variable bit rate encoding

Capped VBR (open loop)

Accommodates poor 
quality video sources

To compensate for poor analog sources, the encoder 
preprocesses the area around the line sync, slightly expanding 
both the front and back porches to enhance timing recovery. 
As a result, the encoder slightly reduces the line length. When 
this capability is engaged, all alarm reporting is disabled.
