• AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder
The AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder supports a comprehensive range of video
processing and input/output modules, offering flexibility and allowing encoder
functionality to be upgraded incrementally and on-site.
• AVP 3000 Voyager
The AVP 3000 Voyager provides the same encoding flexibility and performance
as the AVP 2000 with the addition of a Satellite Modulator output as standard.
In addition, the general contents apply to the Ericsson Contribution Encoder and
Voyager II products. Any exceptions are described in Annex D.
1.1.4.1 Base Chassis Options
The AVP chassis consists of a base chassis, single or dual AC mains input and up
to six option cards. The base chassis is a 1RU 19 inch rack mount chassis that
contains control interfaces and two pairs of dual redundant Ethernet ports for data
output.
Additionally, the AVP 3000 includes a Satellite Modulator option card as standard.
Option cards are responsible for video, audio and data processing, and for
producing output through various interfaces. The option cards are ‘Hot Swappable’,
that is, they can be inserted or removed while the chassis is powered on, within the
limitations described in Chapter 7, Options, Licenses and Upgrades.
The base chassis options available are described in the following table.
