Description

Synamedia’s PowerVu Professional Receiver is a versatile solution designed to support high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) over both satellite and IP content distribution networks. Part of Synamedia’s leading end-to-end video distribution offering, the futureproof receiver is ideal for the upcoming network expansion plans of content providers. You can configure the PowerVu Professional Receiver either as a single-stream receiver for decoding to baseband analog/digital video, or as a multi-stream variant for bulk decryption and high-density transcoding applications.

Features:

Extensive content-ingest options for seamless migration to IP distribution

• Offers MPEGoIP for fiber-based applications and adaptive bit rate (TS over HTTP) HLS, Zixi, or SRT for transmission over content delivery networks (CDN)and the public internet
• Maintains output transparency via digital program mapping so output applications can be served with new input sources
• Receives IP inputs in parallel with DVB-S2x four-tuner satellite inputs that can be configured as primary or disaster recovery inputs
• Supports 400Mbps aggregate input and 800Mbpsaggregate output

Flexible decoding and transcoding across single/multiple streams for greater control

Decoding

• Decodes MPEG-2, advanced video coding (AVC), or HEVC video-encoded service, and outputs as serial digital interface (SDI) or composite uncompressed video
• Simultaneously outputs up to ultra-high definition(UHD) and down converts to standard definition (SD)

Transcoding/Decryption (multi-stream chassis)

• Targets applications requiring decryption and/or transcoding on multiple video services within single or multiple transport streams
• Decrypts up to 32 PowerVu services and transcodes up to 16 HD/SD AVC services to HD/SD MPEG-2 or AVC to facilitate myriad channels
• Transcodes via optional high-density HEVC card up to 12 HD/SD HEVC channels to HD/SD MPEG-2 or AVC

Advanced decryption for enhanced content protection

• Adds latest AES128 PowerVu decrypt capabilities,while maintaining backward compatibility to provide a seamless transition path for existing systems
• Features optional DVB-CI common interface for 2 CA module slots to enable multicrypt and Simulcrypt environment positioning
• Provides extensive, fully-integrated toolset for VideoGuard (VG) CA pairing, fingerprinting, on-screen messaging, and transport/decode controls,as well as rapid watermarking support across single-stream variant
