Description

HDE-2H-QAM (HD Encoder – 2x HDMI/YPbPr-to-QAM) accepts & auto-detects up to two (2) inputs in unencrypted HDMI[1] and YPbPr (Component) formats. The encoder, when applicable, digitizes & MPEG-2 encodes each input into a high-definition stream (HD-1080i/720p), and then multiplexes the resulting two (2) streams into one (1) output in QAM format in the 5.75-864 MHz range (CATV channels T7-T14 and 2-135).

Any combination of input multiplexing is allowed, for example, 2x HDMI or 1xHDMI + 1x YPbPr .

(2 Programs)

HDE-2C-QAM (HD Encoder – 2x YPbPr-to-QAM) is identical to HDE-2H-QAM, but it does not support the HDMI input. It accepts only two (2) inputs in YPbPr (Component) format.

[1] The encoder does not accept HDCP-encrypted HDMI input.

[1] The encoder accepts both analog and digital audio inputs. If both inputs are present, the encoder will process the analog as the primary audio source - the digital will become the secondary audio source.

[2] The encoder accepts analog NTSC Closed Captioning (EIA-608, also known as Line 21) from the HDMI source, digitizes and then inserts it in the MPEG-2 Transport Stream. The encoder does not support EIA-708 caption protocol.

Monitoring & Control - Status Screen

The read-only “Status” screen indicates the MPEG-2 encoded status of each of the 2 inputs.


Monitoring & Control - Configuration > Video

The “Configuration > Video” screen allows user to configure, for each of the 2 inputs, the following parameters:

Bitrate: The sum of all 10 input bitrates must be less than or equal to 38.79 Mbps when selecting QAM 256 modulationClosed Captioning: Enabled, Disabled Video Filter Level: Maximum, Minimum, or DisabledGOP Size: from 1 to 20 [1]

Input Type: HDMI, Component, Disabled

[1] GOP (Group Of Pictures) specifies the order in which intra-frames & and inter-frames are arranged. Each MPEG-coded video stream consists of successive GOPs. From the MPEG pictures contained in it the visible frames are generated. A GOP can contain the following picture types:I-picture or I-frame (intra coded picture) P-picture or P-frame (predictive coded picture)B-picture or B-frame (bidirectionally predictive coded picture)


Monitoring & Control - Configuration > PSIP & QAM

The “Configuration > PSIP” screen allows user to assign desired channel name, major channel #, and minor channel # to each of the 2 inputs.

This provides user with complete flexibility to position any input on any virtual channel.

The “QAM” screen allows user to configure the following QAM RF parameters:

RF Channel (T7-T14 and 2-135)Output (On, Off, CW)Output LevelQAM Mode (16,32,64,128,256,512, 1024)
