Toner Cable RX8252 Program Transcoder - Manual

Broadcasters and Programmers are continually looking to take advan-
tage of technological advances that reduce their distribution costs.
MPEG-4 AVC compression in conjunction with DVB-S2 satellite
transmission is the perfect combination to achieve such transmission
efficiency gains. However, many TV systems are locked into MPEG-2
technology for the foreseeable future by the deployed set-top box
population.
The Ericsson RX8252 Program Transcoder allows legacy systems to continue MPEG-2 operation whilst allowing the
Programmer to distribute using MPEG-4 AVC compression by offering both dense and high quality transcoding from MPEG-
4 AVC to MPEG-2.
The RX8252 Program Transcoder offers a high level of transcode density and sophistication. The RX8252 can be config-
ured to enable up to 6 transcodes of any combination of HD to HD, HD to SD and SD to SD transcoding - allowing the pro-
grammer to address all tiers of service providers. In addition to video processing the RX8252 Program Transcoder also pro-
vides an unsurpassed level of flexibility in its network interfacing through a choice of service filtering and PID remapping
capabilities.
Program content delivered over satellite is securely protected through the RX8252 Program Transcoder’s conditional access
capabilities. The RX8252 is fully integrated to provide compatibility with DVB Common Interface and BISS CA. Conditional
access and control ability can be further enhanced by employing Director by Ericsson - a sophisticated CA and receiver
population control and management system.

Program Transcoder
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
A Program Transcoder With an Unrivalled Pedigree
The RX8252 Program Transcoder shares its heritage with
Ericsson’s fourth generation RX8200 Advanced Modular
Receiver, providing a level of quality and flexibility that is
unsurpassed.
Increased Distribution Capacity and Efficiency
The RX8252 Program Transcoder, in combination with
Ericsson’s MPEG-4 AVC Encoders, DVB-S2 and PREKOR™
Satellite Modulators achieves a level of bandwidth efficiency
that is unrivalled allowing more or higher quality HD services
per transponder compared with any competing solution.
Wide Choice of Inputs and Outputs for Enhanced
Connectivity
The RX8252 can be integrated into a variety of system archi-
tectures, including satellite delivery, ASI and IP systems
through a choice of input and output modules.
Simplified Control and Lower Cost of Operations
Organizations with large populations of RX8252 Program
Transcoders or other Ericsson receivers can simplify control
by integrating with the Director by Ericsson control system.
Director provides remote, overair, single-view control and CA
from a central location, reducing the need for on-site local
operators.
