Key Features & Benefits
- DVB-S2 Full Reception (QPSK + 8PSK + Low Symbol Rate) – Covers the widest range of satellite transponders for DTH, contribution, and distribution feeds. Low Symbol Rate support is essential for DSNG and narrow-band feeds.
- MPEG-2 & MPEG-4 AVC HD/SD Decode – Handles both legacy MPEG-2 broadcasts and modern MPEG-4 AVC HD signals in a single platform, protecting your investment across format transitions.
- IP Output with Pro-MPEG Support – Delivers decoded transport streams over IP networks with professional-grade error correction (Pro-MPEG FEC), ideal for IPTV headends and contribution over managed networks.
- SDI Output Enabled – Native SDI output for direct integration with broadcast routers, monitors, and production equipment — no external converter needed.
- 4-Channel Audio + AC3 + Frame Sync – Four independent audio outputs with Dolby AC-3 decode, up/down/cross-conversion, and frame synchronization for seamless playout integration.
- BISS + CI + RAS Decryption – Full content decryption support: BISS for contribution links, Common Interface for conditional access modules, and Remote Access System for managed environments.
- Director 5 (DIR5) Remote Management – Compatible with Ericsson Director remote control system for centralized management of large receiver farms.
- Modular Hardware Platform – Ships with Combined S2+IP input module, dedicated IP Output module, dual Audio modules, HD Output module, Remote Data Card, CA Lite module, and Control Interface — a complete, professional configuration.
