CTT6800+SDT, +HDT

JPEG 2000 Compressed Transport Transceiver

The CTT6800+ is ideal for applications requiring compressed transport of video, audio and data signals. Utilizing an advanced JPEG 2000 compression codec, the CTT6800+ can encode and decode baseband media to/from a 270 Mb/s DVB ASI transport stream. The CTT6800+ supports the following signal formats:

  • SDI (270 Mb/s SMPTE 259M or 1.5 Gb/s SMPTE 292M)
  • Four AES audio pairs
  • LTC
  • GPI
  • Dolby® metadata

Features

  • Configurable as either a JPEG2000 encoder or decoder; this allows switching of two CTT6800+ modules, operating as an encode/decode pair, to transport content in either direction
  • Compression of baseband media utilizing advanced JPEG2000 codec, including 270 or 1.5 Mb/s SDI, AES and embedded audio, LTC, GPI and serial Dolby® metadata with encoding onto a 270 Mb/s DVB-ASI transport stream
  • Encoding and decoding of up to four lines of user-selectable ancilliary data
  • Automatic or user-selectable video compression data rates of up to 200 Mb/s
  • Onscreen display for simplified setup and configuration
  • Supports Q-SEE™ thumbnail and alarm monitoring
  • Remote control and monitoring via CCS™ or SNMP
