HDE24 High Definition Encoder Module
The Drake HDE24 high-definition encoder module generates an MPEG2 or MPEG4 (H.264) video
stream, with Dolby® AC3 or MPEG1 layer 2 audio. The HDE24 high-definition encoder accepts
non-encrypted HDMI or component video inputs and can inject closed-captioning data from a syn-
chronized composite video source (typically provided by the same decoder that produces the HD
video stream). Composite analog audio inputs provide the audio source when component video
inputs are used. Typically HDMI has embedded audio but if the HDMI is derived from a source
converter that does not provide audio, such as DVI-to-HDMI, then the analog composite inputs
may be used.

These modules are designed to be installed into Drake's EH24 | EH244 | EH244IP or
MEQ1000 style chassis which provides the control and output interface to these units. This
configuration of encoder module and host chassis provides the ultimate in bandwidth man-
agement and economy by allowing multiple HD and SD streams to be multiplexed together
dependent upon the limitations of the bandwidth of the chosen output: QAM and/or ASI.
