BE-IRD 5504-G Enhanced Multi-format Router

The BE 5504-G is a universal (internationally ready) source-quality modular video I/O and decoder system, capable of handling all MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 (H.264/AVC), HD and SD, SPTS and MPTS input formats, with either 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma sampling. Interfaces are available for DS3/G.703, QPSK, QAM, SDI, ASI, and Ethernet, as well as analog composite and component. Audio inputs may be embedded in an SDI stream, or input separately in digital AES/EBU or analog format. There are no limits on input bit-rate. By default, 1 video and 2 audio channels can be decoded, with an option to add a second video and 2 more audio channels. Transmission packet lengths of both 188 and 204 bytes are supported. DVB-S/S2, -T/T2 tuners available.
