 MPEG-2 Standard Definition Encoder E5710MPEG-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.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Outstanding Quality and Market Leading Performance
The E5710 MPEG-2 encoder provides extensive video pre-processing
features developed by TANDBERG Television’s world class in-house
encoding laboratory in which customers can optimize encoding
performance for their specific needs. The E5710’s top performance
record, combined with multiple options suitable for a wide range of
professional video applications, provide a level of quality and flexibility
that is unmatched by the competition.
Upgradeable Hardware and Software Future-proofs Investment
The E5710 features two expansion slots for upgradeable hardware
options. These options include MPEG-2 multi-pass encoding or
upgrades to MPEG-4 AVC SD and HD encoding with TANDBERG
Television’s Intelligent Compression Engine (ICE) version 3, as well
as software options that enable a wide variety of different applications.
Service providers are not locked-in to legacy technology or single
purpose devices as their needs and services change.
Comprehensive Operational Options
The E5710 offers breadth and depth in operational capabilities
including Variable Bit-Rate (VBR) and Constant Bit-Rate (CBR)
modes, Reflex™ statistical multiplexing and audio capabilities allowing
operators to design their ideal encoding system and maximize their
bandwidth capacity. For content protection, the E5710 supports both
RAS and BISS for secure contribution networks.
Reliable, Efficient Management
The E5710 can be remotely controlled via a web browser and can
also be efficiently managed and maintained through integration into
TANDBERG Television’s nCompass control system. This scalable
system enables reliable, remote management and monitoring,
reducing the need for costly, on-site operation.
