Building upon the proven operation and interoperability of the award-winning EN5930, the EN8030 is the low risk deployment choice for any broadcast system. Based on the latest generation of Intelligent Compression Engine, the EN8030 series pushes encoding efficiency to new levels of excellence, providing the ultimate in best quality pictures at lowest bit-rates. The EN8030 series also includes advanced audio coding options to provide equally astounding low bit-rate audio performance. This product is ideally suited to applications with restricted bandwidth such as: TV over DSL New DTH operations VOD authoring News gathering MPEG-2-based digital video head-ends continue to be a critical part of the encoding landscape for terrestrial, telco, satellite and digital cable service providers. The ability to obtain excellent picture quality at low bit-rates remains the most important performance factor for encoders and is a hallmark of TANDBERG Television’s E5710 MPEG-2 encoder. The E5710 is ideal for real-time broadcastquality encoding, digital video turn-around and efficient video delivery over any last-mile network. The E5710 is a highly reliable and adaptable MPEG-2 encoding platform with an extremely flexible backplane, enabling many options for audio encoding, re-multiplexing and multiple output formats. For service providers with sufficient bandwidth who want to rely on MPEG-2’s outstanding performance and long development history for their television services, the E5710 is the industry gold standard for MPEG-2 encoding, with a myriad of feature upgrades, software licensing options and performance enhancements available. E8030 PRODUCT OVERVIEW Market Leading Performance Extensive video pre-processing helps get the best picture, whatever the source. A proven history of providing customers with in-field performance improvement upgrades over time, keeps our customers ahead of the market. Reliable Service Delivery for any Application Designed with all the proven system interconnect and control that our MPEG-2 product range enjoys today. In combination with the rest of the TANDBERG Television product range this makes MPEG-4 AVC deployable today in any broadcast or broadband application. Enabling Hybrid Networks Operators and Legacy Migration The EN8030 can provide MPEG-2 + MPEG-4 AVC encoding of the same source in a single solution. This dual format encoding enables support for migration of your consumer base from MPEG-2, or operators to broadcast across simultaneous multi-networks. Advanced Features for IPTV Options for encoding of a low resolution, low bit-rate simultaneous Picture -in-Picture (PIP) service, and direct IP multicasting from the encoder enable the EN8030 to be deployed in any IP distribution or TV over xDSL application. Variable Bit-rate Operation Modes Option for stand-alone variable bit-rate operation allow IPTV operators to maximize picture quality while harvesting capacity for Internet data traffic delivery to the home. Option for Reflex™ statistical multiplexing enables satellite, cable and terrestrial operators to maximize picture quality using bit-rate sharing techniques.   BASE UNIT FEATURES EN8030 Encoder (EN8030/BAS) • MPEG-4 AVC real-time video encoding • Simultaneous SD MPEG-2 encoding with E5710 features (option) • Picture-in-Picture generation up to CIF resolution (option) • Main profile at Level 3 (MP@L3) • SDI and composite video inputs • Extensive video pre-processing including: • Noise reduction (option) • Input de-blocking filter for MPEG-2 turn-around (option) • Resolution changing • 1/4 to full D1 NTSC/PAL resolutions • Constant bit-rate encoding from 0.250 Mbps to 10 Mbps, depending on resolution • Variable bit-rate and Reflex™ statistical multiplexing support (option) • Stereo Audio encoding: • MPEG-1 Layer II and Dolby Digital® (AC-3) • Options for advanced audio encoding • Digital, analog and SDI embedded inputs • Control and monitoring via web browser, the front panel or TANDBERG nCompass Control • MPEG-2 transport stream (ASI) output • Dual IP NIC output (option)   Business Benefits This product can halve your bit-rate demands compared with MPEG-2. Broadcast quality video at below 2 Mbps enables business models for TV over DSL operators. The improvements on encoding and highly accurate bit-rate control are sufficient to enable much greater reach to potential subscribers The EN8030 provides low latency, simple set-up and operation, guaranteed output consistency and superior performance making it ideal for easy operation of streaming services The use of advanced video coding techniques can significantly increase the number of channels that can be transmitted over satellite or digital terrestrial networks. Alternatively it can reduce the cost of transmission by reducing the required transmission bandwidth Key Features MPEG-4 AVC Main Profile @ Level 3 video encoding Best possible picture quality from 0.250 Mbps to 10 Mbps SDI and composite PAL/NTSC video inputs Extensive video pre-processing including Noise reduction Resolution changing VANC data extraction Precisely controlled output bit-rate for compatibility with DSL networks 1/4 to full D1 PAL/NTSC resolutions Audio encoding MPEG-1 Layer II, Dolby Digital® (AC-3) stereo Advanced Audio Coding Options Digital, analog and SDI embedded inputs Control and monitoring via web browser, front panel or TANDBERG nCompass Control MPEG-2 transport stream output (ASI) Options Integrated MPEG-2 SD video encoding option: INCLUDED! 0.256 to 15 Mbps for MP@ML Shared video input and shared audio input Includes MPEG-2 performance upgrade Ethernet IP output - INCLUDED Software option to support 2 stereo pairs of AAC encoding INCLUDED Audio Option Module to support AAC encoding of 4 stereo pairs or 5.1 surround sound INCLUDED MPEG-2 AAC-LC stereo and 5.1 audio MPEG-4 HE-AAC stereo and 5.1 audio encoding, including HE-AAC v2 stereo Picture-in-Picture service generation Support for SCTE 35 digital program insertion.
