Encoder Model D9020

Description
The Continuum DVP Encoder offers a costeffective,
compact solution allowing Headend
operators to convert composite analog or SDI
programs into compressed MPEG-2 format.
Requiring only 1RU of space, the encoder offers
two stereo pairs of audio (including SAP), analog
and digital inputs and DVB-ASI transport output.
VBI services including Teletext B are supported.
For ease of use, the encoder supports stand-alone
operation with an intuitive front panel control.
With on-board web page generation, the encoder
may be easily controlled and monitored via an
Ethernet connection and a Web Browser. For
applications requiring full network interface, SNMP
v2 interface with a simple MIB is supported.
Local Encoding Applications
Encode local analog programs for use on the
digital tier
Encode programs for the digital tier after locally
inserted analog advertising
Bandwidth Recovery Applications
Recover transport bandwidth between Headend
hubs by transmitting multiple compressed
programs per DVB/ASI in digital transport
applications
Recover bandwidth to add new services such as
HDTV or VOD/SVOD by easily moving analog
programs to the digital tier
