EMX-MUX MPEG-2 Encoders & Multiplexers

The MPEG-2 professional Encoders (4:2:0 - MP@ML), designed and produced by ABE, represent the latest technology and high quality solution at a very attractive price!

ABE Encoders compress video signals (digital, analogue composite or YC, both PAL and NTSC) in real time, together with audio channels, producing an MPEG-2 transport stream with a bitrate which can be adjusted from less than 1Mbit/s up to over 15Mbit/s.

This product is extremely flexible and the number of parameters which are user adjustable (through the provided software) is very high: over 200. For example, the video and audio encoding bit rate can be adjusted, the video resolution (up to full D1), the GOP length and structure, the filters, the PID, the audio sampling frequency, video analogue to digital converter parameters (comb or notch filter, level control, etc.) and several others, can all be adjusted.
In the internal memory, the encoder stores up to 8 different configurations which can be easily and quickly recalled.

Besides this, ABE Encoders extract Teletext or Closed Captioning data from video analog or digital signals making them available for the multiplexer, which re-inserts them into the transport stream.

The ABE multiplexer combines the outputs of different encoders, producing a multi-program transport stream. The multiplexer can also "re-multiplex", modify existing transport streams, adding or deleting programs and/or data (for example MHP data - the Multimedia Home Platform); it also includes and/or modifies tables (for example NIT - Network Information Table - containing program names, SDT, TDT etc.). The configuration software is supplied with the product.

ABE encoders and multiplexers are offered in a wide variety of choices for each solution; for example, a single 19" 1U standard rack chassis can house up to 4 MPEG-2 encoders, the multiplexer and also a digital modulator (according to DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-DSNG, or the DVB-T standards), so as to be suitable for different uses: from microwave links to digital terrestrial transmitters to satellite uplinks.
