E-1710/1720 Compact DSNG Encoders are a fully integrated
MPEG-2 4:2:2 encoder/modulator in a 1 RU high unit, thus, it is particularly
suitable for the fast-moving world of digital satellite news gathering (DSNG)
contribution applications.
The E-1710 features, within the compact 1U enclosure, an advanced
professional broadcast quality encoder and a software modifiable QPSK, 8PSK
16QAM modulator with embedded L-Band Monitoring. The E-1720 adds an L-
Band Up-Converter that provides broadcast quality L-Band signal.
The E-1710/1720 is a rugged, power efficient and user-friendly
encoder/modulator. It is fully compliant to both 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 DVB standards,
ensuring best picture quality at a competitive price in a compact unit. Figure 1-1
illustrates the
E-1710/1720.

E-1710 Compact DSNG Encoders – General View
For any type of SNG uplink system, the E-1710/1720 fits neatly into the rack,
occupying only 1U with no need to provide space for ventilation above or below.
The L-band Monitoring Output, provided by the E-1710/1720, enables “on the
spot” real-time monitoring of the modulated transmit information.
In addition, the E-1720 provides an up converter that outputs a Broadcast
quality L-Band signal. The E-1720 also provides an external/internal accurate
10Mhz clock and +24DC power for BUC devices.
