Tandberg E5500 MPEG2 Encoder DSNG with IF Modulator

The new E5500 provides all the functionality required for a multitude of Outside Broadcast (OB) applications. Based on the latest technology platform the E5500 utilises the very best field proven encoding and pre-processing delivering a truly unbeatable feature set.

The compact 2RU design includes an MPEG-2 4:2:0MP@ML encoding engine at its heart with can be optionally upgraded to MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML. Accepting either an SDI or Composite input the E5500’s leading edge encoding will produce a delay figure of less than 200ms ensuring the very best minimum system latency.

Data insertion is also catered for via either the High Speed RS-422 or Low Speed RS-232 Data ports.Built in frequency agile QPSK modulation provides a tuneable IF of 50-90Mhz in 125Khz increments with a maximum symbol rate of 30m/sym per second. The E5500 also accepts the new Tandberg re-multiplexer module for multi-channel applications.

The re-multiplexer module is available as an optional extra, when fitted the E5500 will be able to accept up to 3 additional ASI transport streams, providing a compact, lightweight and easy to use 4 channel MPTS system.
