MediaKind / Ericsson CE-a series Encoder Modules
The CE-a Series encoder modules represent the highest density, multi-functional, video processing platform for contribution and distribution (C&D) applications. The ability to fit up to four hot swappable modules within a single AVP chassis enables broadcasters, operators and service providers to dimension their networks in the most cost-effective way for the needs of today allowing functionality to be upgraded gradually, future proofing investment. The CE-a Series modules are built on a flexible platform capable of encoding both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC, while supporting C&D specific low delay modes, professional audio encoding, pass-through standards and generic VANC carriage. The encoder modules provide a uniquely modular software upgradeable solution that allows customers to exploit the advantages of MPEG-4 AVC compression, while maintaining compatibility with the existing generation of MPEG-2 Video based networks. In conjunction with the extremely flexible multiple I/O options of the AVP chassis, the CE-a Series encoder modules can be used in the widest variety of satellite and terrestrial networks.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Outstanding Innovation Delivers the Most Dense Contribution and Distribution Encoder The CE-a Series option modules are the latest addition to the AVP Contribution Encoder range. Based on two decades of encoder design experience, the CE-a Series option modules are multi-functional video encoding platforms for 4:2:0 contribution and distribution applications. The ability to fit up to six multi-format hot-swappable modules in a single AVP chassis provides unmatched flexibility and cost-effective density.
Hot Swappable Support
All modules in the CE-a Series range are hot swappable to allow onsite servicing, unit re-purposing and maximum portability.
Software Upgradeability
All modules in the CE-a Series are based on the same future-proof, software-upgradeable platform. This enables users to dimension their networks for the needs of today, ensuring the most cost-effective path to tomorrow’s expansions.
Maximum Flexibility
The ability to fit multiple multi-CODEC encoder modules within a single chassis, support multiple concurrent and independent outputs, contribution and distribution audio format and the carriage of generic VANC data allows customers to target the widest variety of applications across a multitude of different networks.
Efficient Use of Spectrum
The CE-a Series option modules deliver compression efficiency that allows at least 30 percent or more bandwidth savings compared to MPEG-2 Video at contribution rates.
