Digital MPEG-2 Video Encoder with SDI and Baseband Inputs

The CL-SD-ENC is and universal MPEG2 Encoder with SD-SDI or Baseband Video/Audio inputs with either ASI, IP, or optional T1 / DS3 outputs. Video inputs connected to the unit are encoded via MPEG2 and emerge as a transport stream in either ASI or IP format. The ASI stream can then be multiplexed with other ASI transport streams into a multi program transport stream. Many video signals can be combined into a single ASI signal this way. This can be very convenient for transporting content. When used in IP format, the stream can be fed over any packet based Ethernet network such as the Internet. Streaming from one location to another over the Internet is a very useful and common application. Some customers have existing T1 or DS3 digital lines between studios and broadcast headends. It is also possible to use this existing bandwidth to transport the signal from one location to another. This unit is used in both the digital video broadcast industry and in CCTV security monitoring systems. The unit features a high quality output while maintaining a reasonable bit rate of 1.5 to 15 Mbps. The CL-SD-ENC is a complete hardware encoding solution with time based correction circuitry that adapts to signal sources . It supports management via SNMP as well as remote network control. The CL-SD-ENC is an excellent choice for all your SD-SDI or baseband video/audio encoding needs.
