SES3200 Scalable Encoding System
The Telairity SES3200 is a complete “head-end in a box” solution for customers seeking to maximize encoding density for SD, mobile and PC video while minimizing cost. HD video also can be included if desired. A completely modular design built around the industry-standard ATCA chassis allows for easy scaling of capacity, adding SD encode channels in groups of four. A 12RU 14-slot chassis can accommodate 4 8-input boards, 8 4-channel encoder boards, and 2 multiplexed output boards, providing a total of 32 channels with either full dual redundant output or simultaneous dual output over separate network types (e.g., ASI and IP). A full fabric backplane eliminates the need for external cables, routers, switches, and multiplexers, while providing the ability to route any input to any output under dynamic software control.
