SE4000

Overview

Ideal for mobile broadcast contribution applications as well as network and cable headend use, the SE4000™ SD MPEG-2 Video Encoder combines best in class modulation technology with proven IDC encoding to provide a complete encoder and modulator solution.

Easy to Use

There is a complete set of backlit alphanumeric full travel buttons on the front panel for easy configuration, event in the dark. The large LCD display is illuminated yet provides high contrast for visibility in direct sunlight. The power switch is on the front panel for easy access. There are 24 user-programmable preset configurations that van be named, stored and recalled from the front panel menu.

Reliable and Affordable

By using the latest integration of MPEG and low power digital electronics technology, the SE4000 combines a complete modulator and encoder in a small, low power, quiet, highly reliable and feature rich package. The SE4000 even includes redundant cooling fans with fault monitoring to ensure trouble free operation under the harshest of conditions.

Direct Connect to ODU and Monitor IRDs

Systems no longer require external splitters or upconverters when using the SE4000. The SE4000 is capable of delivering DVBs or DVB-S2, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM or 16APSK modulation in IF frequencies of 70 MHz and 140 MHz, plus an L-Band output from 950 to 2050 MHz. These outputs will interface to virtually any traditional upconverter and the latest low power low cost block upconverters (BUC), allowing significant savings in system equipment cost and complexity. The modulator may also be fitted with an optional high-stability 10 MHz reference.

Direct Connect to ODU and Monitor IRDs

BISS Mode 1 and E are supported by the SE4000, in addition to the IDC proprietary Privacy Guard Conditional Access (PGCA). PGCA is a fixed key scrambling system that is included as a standard feature in most IDC encoders and decoders. It is addressable and allows the decoder addresses to be added or deleted from the authorization list using the SE4000 front panelor remote control interface.
