The Adtec Digital RD70 IRD.
...the 2013 NAB Show – booth SU7602, April 8 – 11, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada. This 1080P platform targets DSNG, SD, HD, 3D and 4K synchronous contribution, distribution and fixed circuit trunking applications. Paired with Adtec's RD-70 IRD, the EN-91P can deliver full frame 1080P HD video and 16 channels of phase aligned audio with an end-to-end latency of 3 frames. When passing PCM or Dolby E, end-to-end latency is reduced to 1 frame. Nearly instantaneously, users can deliver contribution quality full 1080P HD video around the globe using IP and ASI networks or DVBS/S2 satellite delivery.
The EN-91P allows concurrent encoding and streaming to IP, ASI and L-band or IF DVBS/S2. The DVBS/S2 modulator can support QPSK up to 32APSK with added 5, 10 and 15 percent roll off support based on software licenses. The EN-91P supports high definition up to full 1080P 60/50 and standard definition MPEG 4 AVC/H.264 video with up to eight pairs of audio including pass-through support for four PCM or 16-bit and 20-bit DolbyE and Dolby AC3 2.0 and 5.1.
Adtec’s lightweight green chassis includes redundant power supplies, low noise adaptive cooling and consumes a fraction of the power of its competitors. Control and monitoring options include SNMP, HTML plus and fully featured push-button front panel interface. All Adtec EN and RD series devices provide full color video and audio bar monitoring within the Web UI providing visual AV monitoring via your browser. Both the EN-91P and RD-70 are fully interoperable with third-party receivers and encoders.
Additionally, earlier last month, when Moonlink Satellite set out to get the latest truck in its fleet ESPN 16-channel HD qualified, the company turned to Adtec digital to help make it happen.
Using two brand new Adtec EN-81 encoders, operator Steve Rowe made the connection to ESPN’s Bristol, Connecticut headquarters, landing the 720p video and all 16 channels of phase-aligned audio for a successful qualification. Steve and Truck 2 then headed down to Ohio State University that very weekend to bring Big Ten college basketball to a national audience in ESPN HD with all the audio necessary for 5.1 surround sound.
With SNG 2 now online, all of Moonlink’s trucks are fully HD MPEG 2, MPEG 4, DVB-S/S2 QPSK/8PSK capable, and each one can now transmit 16 channels of audio. The complete top-to-bottom upgrade includes a 40 x 40 3G/HD/SD-SDI router, two Adtec EN-81 encoders, over 11,000 feet of cable and 18 HD capable displays. And to be sure that all that High Definition video and audio is correctly compressed and transmitted, a pair of Adtec RD-60 IRDs with Newtec demodulators have been employed for their ability to catch anything the well-equipped EN-81s can throw at them. In addition to the national sports broadcasters, the newly-rebuilt truck is expected to serve a variety of clients, ranging from news to entertainment to corporate and more.
