2.2 Product Application & Description
Application:
SDE-6S-ASI (MPEG-2 SD Encoder/Multiplexer – 6xSD-SDI/6xNTSC – 2xASI/1xIP)
accepts up to six (6) standard-definition
(SD) programs from any of the following inputs: 6xSD-SDI, and 6xNTSC. MPEG-2 encoded outputs are multiplexed into one
Multi- Program Transport Stream (MPTS) which is available in the following formats simultaneously: 2x, and 1xIP (100/1000
Base-T).
The encoder supports Dolby® Digital audio encoding for (16) analog stereo audio pairs (L+R) which in addition to primary
and secondary audio programs also provide a third audio pair for the Audio Descriptor Service, an additional narration track
for blind and visually impaired, as mandated by the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of
2010 (CVAA).
Ad insertion SCTE 35 compliant queuing messages are detected for each program from either the audio Cue Tone input or
a contact closure (operator selectable).
A baseband audio analog encoding capability table is provided in Section 2.3 (page 12) for easy reference. In addition to the
baseband audio analog encoding capability audio programs that are already encoded and present on the SDI inputs may
be multiplexed with the respective output (pass-through) without utilizing the baseband audio analog encoding resource.
The encoder also supports Closed Captioning (EIA-608, and EIA-708), and Emergency Alert System (EAS). A front-panel DVI
port is available for real-time monitoring of active programs during operation.
Comprehensive remote monitoring and control is accomplished using any standard Web browser via a rear-panel SFP port
(10/100BaseT).
