IRD-2600 / IRD-2800
Integrated Receiver Decoders
P/N 2349-72784-00 Page 1-5
1.1.2. Applications
The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 Integrated Receiver Decoders can be implemented in a wide
range of applications. The following is a list of some of the typical uses for the IRD-2600 and
IRD-2800:
• Satellite Receiving
• Cable Head-end Receiving
• Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG)
• Telecommunication, SDH or microwave
• Network / Professional Video Distribution
• Distance Learning
• Business TV
• Radio Reception
• DVB-CI Decryption for transport stream re-multiplexing
• Bilingual audio transmission
The following sub-paragraphs provides detailed description on various applications.
1.1.2.1. Broadcast Redistribution
The primary application of the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 is reception and distribution of DVB
broadcast signals for cable or local broadcasting.
1.1.2.2. Stand Alone Decoder
The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 may be utilized without an input receiver as an online decoder
for a DVB signal. This may be utilized for monitoring purposes within a broadcast center, for
editing components of the DVB bit stream, and for redistribution of local line input such as
prerecorded video programs.
1.1.2.3. Internal Corporate Distribution
A growing application for DVB redistribution is internal corporate training and
communications. Both training and internal communications can greatly benefit from the
decoding and redistribution of DVB signals originating from a central broadcast point within a
company.
1.1.2.4. Data Transfer
The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 can be implemented as a solution for remote locations requiring
data links, where no proper line communications exist. In this role, the IRD-2600 and
IRD-2800 decodes data from a DVB signal broadcast via satellite or other Telco interfaces.
One of the advanced features of the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 is simultaneous high-speed and
low-speed data transfer. Data transfer from the encoder is one directional. The IRD-2600 and
IRD-2800 has no feedback, response, or acknowledgement capabilities.
