Introduction
This manual covers the 9992-ENC and the 9992-ENC-4K-HEVC Software Defined Broadcast
Encoders . These are multi-channel broadcast-grade encodesr designed to meet the most
stringent requirements for today’s broadcasters. Our HEVC video encoding technology provides
a dramatic compression efficiency improvement over previous video compression standards,
while also supporting MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC. The 9992-ENC is an industry standard
openGear® card and provide an ideal platform for transitioning to state-of-the-art encoding
capabilities.
Features:

Future-Proof — Software-defined architecture supports video compression using
MPEG-2 (H.262), MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265).

Industry Standard Form-Factor — The 9992-ENC is offered in the industry-standard
openGear format, and is compatible with existing deployed openGear frames.

High Density — Supports up to four independent 1080p60 input signals, or a single
UHD 4Kp60 input signal. One openGear frame can support up to 10 cards, for a total of
40 HD or 10 UHD 4K channels.

Full Audio Support — The 9992-ENC supports MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC-LC, HE-AAC,
LPCM (SMPTE-302M) and Dolby AC-3/EAC-3 (optional license). “Credits-based”
audio processing allows flexible audio resource allocation.
