HALRENC-S21
High-Performance Standard Definition Encoder Module
Extending the Functionality of NetVX™
The NetVX™ ENC-S21 is an ultra-low bitrate MPEG-2 standard-definition encoder incorporating the latest filtering and multipass technologies and statistical multiplexing, achieving bitrate performance like no other.
The NetVX video networking system pushes the limit with the latest DSP technology to provide complex scene analysis, noise reduction, spatially adaptive edge-preserving filters and motion-compensated temporal filtering.
The HALRENC-S21 features multipass encoding that utilizes scene change/fade/flashbulb detection and handling, reprocessed motion vectors and forward-looking complex scene detection.
The HALRENC-S21 supports statistical multiplexing, which allows a group of encoders to pool and dynamically allocate bandwidth.
The HALRENC-S21 accepts both analog and digital audio and video inputs. Both PAL and NTSC are supported. The HALRENC-S21 will encode two stereo pairs of audio using either MPEG or Dolby® compression or lossless SMPTE 302. The NetVX HALRAUD-D14 module (sold separately) can expand the HALRENC-S21 encoder’s audio encoding capabilities to up to six stereo pairs per program.
The HALRENC-S21 supports a wide selection of VANC and VBI data options for both ATSC and DVB markets. The HALRENC-S21 works with the entire line of NetVX devices, including the ATM, Gigabit Ethernet or transport stream multiplexer modules.
