SDE24 Standard Definition Encoder Module
SDE24 Standard Definition Encoder Module
The SDE24 module can encode up to two input sources, source 1 and source 2 in real-time. The module may be configured to encode source 1 in either MPEG2 or MPEG4 (H.264) transport streams. Source 2 may be encoded in MPEG2 only. Thus each Encoder Module can output one MPEG2 stream, two MPEG2 streams, one MPEG4 stream, or one MPEG2 and one MPEG4 stream.
Each SDE24 module provides two sets of input connectors for NTSC composite or S-video with stereo audio. Audio is encoded using Dolby AC-3 encoding.
Applications
- Hospitality
- Health Care
- Commercial
- Government/Military
- Digital Signage
- Cable Networks
Benefits
-
Analog to Digital encoding
The Drake Digital™ SDE24 Standard Definition Encoder Module receives up to two input sources via NTSC Composite or S-video with stereo audio.
-
MPEG2 or MPEG4 compression for bandwidth efficiency
Input 1 on the SDE24 can encode analog signals to either MPEG2 or MPEG4 (H.264) transport streams. Input 2 can encode an analog signal to a MPEG2 transport stream only. Each SDE24 Encoder Module can output as one MPEG2 stream, two MPEG2 streams, one MPEG4 stream and one MPEG2 stream.
-
Dolby Digital™ AC-3 audio compliant
Audio output is rated as Dolby Digital™ AC-3 compliant.
The SDE24 Standard Definition Encoder Modules can be used in the EH24 Encoder Host or MEQ1000
