Getting Started
• Source changed from SD to HD, and Profile for HD input is set to HD H.264
Main Profile Level 4.0 4:2:0 8 bit: The new encoding profile is HD H.264 Main
Profile Level 4.0 4:2:0 8 bit. If there is a room to increase the video bit rate to a
value higher than the maximum set for the previously used SD profile, then the
bit rate is increased.

About UHD Video
The CE-HEVC encoder is capable of encoding a 3840x2160 UHD picture as defined
in SMPTE 2036-1.
The 4K image is delivered into the encoder via either 4-off 3G BNC connectors or
4-off LC optical connectors depending on the input option ordered at the time of
manufacture.
There are 2 recognized formats of how to carry the 4K picture over the 4-off 3G
connections, quadrant or interleaved. The CE-HEVC encoder supports both input
formats.
The CE-HEVC option module supports Level A direct image mapping. Mapping an
uncompressed video image into a serial digital interface operating at a nominal rate
of 3 Gbps.
Quadrant
The 4K picture is broken into for HD quadrants and carried on 4 synchronized SDI
signals as show below.
