Harmonic IRD-2962 Professional Integrated Receiver Decoder Earlier scopus

Professional single 4:2:0 receiver decoder 

The professional ProView TM 2962 integrated receiver decoder is a broadcast-quality decoder, decryptor and interface converter that provides MPEG-2 and AVC SD decoding, advanced transport stream processing, cutting edge IP processing technologies and a variety of front-ends, including DVB-S2, MPEG over IP and more.

DISTRIBUTION FOR TERRESTRIAL BROADCAST

The ProView 2900 enables terrestrial distribution through output of analog audio and video signals to RF modulators for VHF/UHF terrestrial broadcast. It supports migration to DVB-T by providing a digital ASI transport stream output to a CODFM modulator and DVB-T transmitter. In addition to live broadcasting, the ProView 2900 supports extraction of encapsulated video content as MPE data for off-line distribution. This is particularly valuable for distribution of syndicated content to network affiliates.

DISTRIBUTION FOR TERRESTRIAL

BROADCAST

The ProView 2900 enables terrestrial distribution through output of analog audio and video signals to RF modulators for VHF/UHF terrestrial broadcast. It supports migration to DVB-T by providing a digital ASI transport stream output to a CODFM modulator and DVB-T transmitter. In addition to live broadcasting, the ProView 2900 supports extraction of encapsulated video content as MPE data for off-line distribution. This is particularly valuable for distribution of syndicated content to network affiliates.

DISTRIBUTION TO IPTV HEADEND

The ProView 2900 receives and decrypts DVB-S or DVB-S2 content, and outputs content both over IP for streaming and over SDI for re-encoding. When streaming content, the device can be configured to filter and forward only a subset of the programs in the transport stream (TS), for output over the IP interface. The filter is applied either to services (dynamic), or to PIDs (static). The output TS is configured as either VBR or CBR, with NULL stuffing enabling it to fit a configured bandwidth. The ProView 2900 can also decapsulate IP over MPEG (MPE) and output it over an IP network.

IP CONTRIBUTION

The ProView 2900 enables cost-efficient contribution of high-quality video content via IP networks. The IRD offers extensive advanced IP functionalities including configurable de-jittering buffers that facilitate trade- offs between latency and network burstiness resiliency, Pro-MPEG Forward Error Correction (FEC) for excellent packet loss recovery, dual Ethernet inputs for link redundancy protection against failure of directly connected switches, and dual sources over IP for logical redundancy protection against source failure.
