SENCORE Sets Up for System Interoperability

At the 2011 NAB Show, SENCORE will highlight solutions that contribute to efficient distribution of SD/HD video, as well as system monitoring, analysis solutions, and test/measurement equipment, all designed to support system interoperability. Cable-oriented products on display at the show will include the TXS 3453 transcoder and IRD 3000 series of integrated receiver/decoders (IRDs).The TXS 3453 transcoder delivers multiple channels of transcoding and transrating in a high-density 1RU chassis. With a configurable engine and multichannel architecture, the TXS 3453 can perform MPEG2 to H.264 and H.264 to MPEG-2 SD and HD transcoding, as well as transrating of MPEG-2 or H.264 streams. Key features include ASI and MPEGoIP transport stream inputs and outputs, plus the ability to compress the output to low bit rates while maintaining video quality to the end viewer. The TXS offers up to 16 channels of transcoding or transrating in a 1RU rack mount platform.The IRD 3000 series of receivers/decoders are intended for distributing video services on IP, satellite, and ASI networks for terrestrial, satellite, cable, and IPTV broadcast environments. SENCORE's line of IRDs is designed to support SD applications, allowing operations to leverage their existing SD infrastructures while ensuring a software upgrade to HD for future expansion. The IRD 3000 family supports satellite, MPEGoIP and ASI inputs, and SDI and composite outputs, and comes standard with BISS and DVB-CI based decryption.
