Ultracompression
Encoder
The Real-Time MPEG-4 AVC Ultracompression Encoder submodule can receive
both Standard Definition and High Definition uncompressed digital video
through a variety of input interfaces and compress it to MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264).
The following physical input options are offered:
•
HD card: encoders fitted with this interface can accept HD-SDI and SD-SDI input signals (on
the same physical BNC interface).
•
SD card: encoders fitted with this interface only accept SD signals. The interface options are
Composite, S-Video, and SD-SDI, in the exact same arrangement as the MPEG-2 Encoder
Plus and the H.264 Advanced Encoder.
•
The encoder supports up to six audio stereo pairs, depending on the selected
audio compression scheme. The first two audio pairs can be analog-balanced or
unbalanced signals, connected through the 37-pin micro-D connector. When
using AES signals, the 37-pin micro-D connector allows for up to four stereo
pairs. The remaining channels are only available as embedded audio in the HD-
SDI or SD-SDI interface.
