AVC4000-SD

Professional Standard Definition MPEG-2 & AVC MPEG-4 Encoder

HIGHLIGHTS

PERFORMANCE
Tiernans Advanced Video Coding AVC4000-SD Encoder features the latest advancements in video encoding, performing to H.264/AVC specifications resulting in the most advanced feature suite available today. Equipped with Tiernans advanced PurePEG Technology, video pre-processing providing spatio-temporal filtering which yields the highest picture quality even at lower bit stream rates. Optionally equipped with a DVB-S2 Modulator, this encoder offers the optimal solution for SD video compression and satellite bandwidth usage. Simulcast of MPEG-2 and AVC encoded video streams facilitates operation in evolving delivery networks. Optional configurations offer a wide range of performance flexibility to deal a wide range of applications, from the low-end entry level to the most demanding high level situations.

OUTPUT INTERFACES
Maximum flexibility is a key component to the AVC4000-SD Encoder, with SMPTE 310 and ASI output standard. DVB-S and/or DVB-S2 modulator formats, DS3/E3 telephony and a 100/1000 Base-T IP Adapter that can support either UDP,RTP or COP3 FEC are available. This enables the AVC4000-SD to operate in a wide range of applications.

VIDEO
Two encoder channels, one processing MPEG-2 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 formats and the other processing AVC Main Profile @ Level 3.0, operate independently and either or both may be delivered in the compressed output data stream. Both are capable of full resolution NTSC or PAL video formats with numerous resizing options.

AUDIO
Capable of decoding up to eight audio channels (4 pairs) with analog and/or digital audio inputs, including embedded SDI audio, makes the AVC4000-SD compatible with most audio requirements.

Low Latency
The AVC4000SD allows for latency customization with four latency modes from 400ms to 1.6 ms for optimal performance in a variety of applications.

INPUT INTERFACES
Highly flexible, the AVC 4000 SD Encoder offers various input interfaces including: ASI, SDI (SMPTE 259M), Analog Composite Video, Analog Audio, and Digital AES/EBU audio Channels.

CUSTOM LOW LATENCY M ODES

OPERATOR CONTROL
The embedded Web Browser Interface allows for easy command and control as does the SNMP MIB & RS-232 proprietary command line interface. Intuitive, menu-driven front panel control and A/V confidence monitors are standard
