General Information
The CODICO
®
IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 are a new generation of the 4:2:0 / 4:2:2 CODICO
®
family of Integrated Receiver Decoders. Both IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 are suitable for SCPC
and MCPC 4:2:0 applications; IRD-2800 provides support for 4:2:2 applications as well. With
DVB-CI (Common Interface) decryption capabilities, the IRD 2600 and IRD-2800 output high
quality video, audio and data for satellite, cable and telecom programs distribution. IRD-2600
supports two stereo outputs while IRD-2800 supports up to three stereo outputs.
Both IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 contain a demultiplexer, MPEG-2 video and audio decoders,
as well as Data and VBI insertion functions.
Control and management can be obtained via the IRD front control panel, an optional Infrared
Remote Control, or an attached PC terminal. The IRD also supports remote management,
control and software download, via transport stream link from the CODICO
®
NMS-4000
Network Management System.
Input and Output sections support variable modules for versatility of the IRD-2600 and
IRD-2800. Input of DVB-ASI transport Stream or RS-422 directly to the decoder, as well as
ASI output (optionally decrypted) and loopthrough is also supported. ASI TS and RS-422 can
be connected at the same time with the various front ends. The desired input is selected by
the user.
