To help optimize bandwidth utilization in digital transmission systems, the Model D9034-S Encoder is designed to deliver high-quality MPEG-4 part 10 (also known as H.264 or AVC) and optionally MPEG-2 video using very limited bandwidth.

In this encoder, MPEG-2 can optionally co-exist with MPEG-4 video within the same chassis. This enables operators to make use of the MPEG-4 and the MPEG-2 encoding format. The D9034-S Encoder offers PreSightPlus as an option, which is an adaptive and motion compensated noise reduction technique that provides picture quality in a noisy environment, and is suitable in both contribution and distribution applications. For user-friendly TV guides and similar applications, the D9034 Encoder offers an integrated picture-in-picture (PIP) encoding feature as an option.

The MPEG-4* part 10 (H.264/AVC) Encoder Model D9054 is the right choice for any operator who wants to compress high-definition video using MPEG-4 compression technology. PreSightPlusTM pre-analysis, dual-pass technology and single-slice architecture efficiently utilizes the scarce bandwidth resources in distribution systems and provides excellent picture quality. Supporting both 1080i and 720p, the encoder offers AVC encoding in various distribution and contribution applications. Based on a dedicated encoder resource, the D9054 Encoder optionally supports picture-in-picture (PIP) functionality for convenient channel change and mosaic applications. The HDTV Encoder will support multiple audio formats, providing excellent flexibility. It will support up to two stereo pairs of either MPEG-1 Layer II audio, Dolby® Digital (AC-3) 2.0 audio, AAC audio, or AACv1 audio with a broad range of bit rates, and will support pass-through of externally encoded Dolby 5.1 audio.
