MediaKind AVP 2000 / AVP 3000 Encoder - FAP 130 3280

AVP 2000 / AVP 3000 Encoder

The AVP 2000 / 3000 Encoder has been designed specifically to address the demands of today’s broad range of Contribution, DSNG, and Primary Distribution (C&D) applications delivering the most flexible solution in the market. Based on a compact 1RU form factor chassis with up to six hot swappable option slots with a single power supply unit (PSU), making it an ideal solution for the whole spectrum of high resilience to high density requirements. For applications demanding higher service resiliency then there is an option to have dual power supplies ensuring the unit delivers maximum performance, flexibility and reliability.

A comprehensive range of processing options are available in the AVP Encoder including MPEG-4 AVCand HEVC which depending on the modules deployed enable operators to encode multiple formats as ASI and/or IP outputs.

An integrated satellite modulator option offers high order DVB-S/S2/S2X modulation on both IF and L-Band outputs.

Standard definition, high definition and ultra high definition in 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 modes are supported and for highest quality feeds the unit supports both 10-bit precision and p50/59.94 frame rates. A key aspect of the AVP is usability and it features a fully functional front panel to meet the demand of the contribution environment, including ease of operations, and quick menu access. In addition for those configuring the unit by PC a simplified user interface is available with all the commonly used controls on a single page. Overall the AVP offers broadcasters and network operators the most advanced video and audio compression technology available today and is key part of MediaKind’s C&D portfolio which also include receivers, and control and management software for scheduling.

Product Overview

High Flexibility, Reliability and Serviceability
The AVP Encoder is the basis for the most efficient video compression engines available to the broadcast market.The platform itself is designed to address both the need for density with up to six option slots and the need for high resilience by making all the option slots hot swappable and the addition of a dual PSU version of the chassis. A standard IP interface and a wide range of separate I/O options provide interfacing to multiple hybrid networks concurrently. This includes an integrated DVB-S and DVB-S2 satellite modulator providing high order modulation on IF and L-Band outputs. The AVP allows in-field serviceability, portability and system reconfiguration to address the widest range of C&D applications

Leading High Quality Compression
The AVP Encoder supports the CE-HEVC encoder module providing support for HEVC and MPEG-4 AVC video compression. Each module can encode a single UHD (4k) video service or up to 4 HD video services. It supports 4:2:2 or 4:2:0, 8 or 10-bit video, and can provide low and super low end to end latency encoding modes.
So the AVP Encoder pushes encoding efficiency, serviceability and upgradeability to new levels of excellence.

Efficient Use of Spectrum
It also supports DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X high ordermodulation on both IF and L-Band outputs. DVB-S2 givesa 30 % performance gain compared to DVB-S, and DVBS2X gives up to 20% performance gain compared to DVB-S2.

Front Panel Operations
A front panel provides complete unit control in mobile environments. Its unique ergonomic new design is the result of development based on industry feedback and includes:
• Rotary control for fast selection and key-pad for easy value insertion
• Quick access menus specifically designed for mobile operations with customizable shortcuts and ample configuration storage
• Audio metering
