AVC* Encoder

Model D9054 HDTV Advanced Compression Encoder

Description
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 passthrough of externally encoded Dolby 5.1 audio.
