BE-IRD-5502 Integrated Receiver/Decoder
The BE-IRD-5502 is a versatile broadcast-class H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) HD/SD integrated receiver and decoder for broadcasters, cable operators, and telecoms. A highly flexible professional choice, the 5502’s ability to decode all video formats (HD or SD, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4), together with its wide choice of input options, makes it the perfect solution for customers migrating from MPEG-2 SD to MPEG-4 HD. A built-in Multiplexer/Filter allows users to create highly customized output transport streams. Two PCMCIA Common Interface card slots support a variety of Conditional Access systems, including Conax, Cryptoworks, Irdeto, Mediaguard, NDS, SECA, Viacross, and others. LAN control and monitoring can done using the unit’s built-in Monitor Center facility, or through standard SNMP-based network management systems.Input Specifications
