NEW FORIBC2012 is the MRD 4400 receiver/decoder from Sencore, which is described as a cost-effective SD decoder capable of being upgraded to HD via a software license. It supports decoding for either MPEG-2 or H.264, along with up to four audio services. The increased audio handling capability allows distributors to meet descriptive video requirements, while continuing to support surround or alternate language services. The MRD 4400 supports satellite, ASI, and IP inputs. The system also allows operators to demodulate, de-encapsulate, encapsulate, and decode simultaneously for local processing and re-encode requirements. The TXS line of MPEG-2/4
transcoders is described by Sencore as delivering a flexible, high-density, high-quality package providing multiple channels of transcoding or transrating in a 1RU chassis. The TXS 3600 transcodes video services from an MPEG transport stream to or from MPEG-2 or H.264 and can convert from HD to SD format. The transcoder also supports audio format conversion between common formats, including Dolby Digital and Digital Plus, MPEG-2, HE-AAC, AAC-LC, and linear PCM. An extensive selection
from Sencore’s VideoBRIDGE product line is also on display, and includes new OTT adaptive stream monitoring enhancements to select VideoBRIDGE probes and software, helping operators ensure desired QoS from the point of origination, through the delivery network, and onto the customer-premise end- viewing devices. Sencore says that the SMD
989 DVB-S/S2 modulator offers unprecedented efficiency, flexibility, and reliability for all types of satellite digital video delivery applications. A mix of built-in and optional features is said to ensure the operator has the needed functionality and ability to access advanced modes when required. The SMD 989 platform supports 6-input VCM multistream without the need for external stream ‘aggregators,’ and offers advanced S2 modes such as 8PSK, 16APSK, and
