D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder

General Description
The PowerVu® Model D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder provides the ability to
deliver MPEG-4 HD services to MPEG-2 CATV head-ends. The Model D9858
receiver will extend the distribution options for MPEG-4 HD from solely MPEG-4
environments to existing MPEG-2 networks. Support for simultaneous dual-
channel transcoding will provide the advantage of density for locations requiring
more than just a single channel. A video and two audio monitoring outputs are
available for confidence monitoring of the decrypted incoming MPEG-4 HD
program.
Digital Cable/Telco Program Distribution
The ASI and MPEGoIP transport outputs provide a number of modes including the
capability of carrying up to two decrypted transcoded programs for digital tier
distribution. This helps the compressed video programs to be efficiently distributed
to subscribers equipped with digital set-top boxes. Digital Program Insertion (DPI)
information is also be available along with the video and audio PIDs (Packet
Identifiers) for external ad insertion in compressed digital format. Digital audio
passthrough is supported with sync to the transcoded program output. Compliant
PSI/SI regeneration provides easy integration into a digital tier distribution
network for two transcoded programs.
