Contribution Encoders
The AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder has been designed specifically to address the demands of today’s broad range of Contribution and Primary Distribution (C&D) applications delivering the most flexible solution in the market. Based on a compact 1RU form factor chassis with up to six hot swappable option slots with a single power supply unit (PSU), making it an ideal solution for the whole spectrum of high resilience to high density requirements. For applications demanding higher service resiliency then there is an option to have dual power supplies ensuring the unit delivers maximum performance, flexibility and reliability.
A comprehensive range of processing options are available in the AVP 2000 Encoder including MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC, JPEG-2000 and HEVC
which depending on the modules deployed enable operators to encode multiple formats as ASI and/or IP outputs. Standard definition, high definition and ultra high definition in 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 modes are supported and for highest quality feeds the unit supports both 10-bit precision and p50/59.94 frame rates.
A key aspect of the AVP 2000 is usability and the Encoder features an ergonomic front panel with integral monitor, giving instant user feedback, meeting the demands of the contribution environment, including ease of operations, quick menu access and effective monitoring.
In addition for those configuring the unit by PC a new simplified user interface is available with all the commonly used controls on a single page. Overall the AVP 2000 offers broadcasters and network operators the most advanced video and audio compression technology available today and is key part of MediaKind’s C&D portfolio which also include receivers, and control and management software for scheduling.
The MediaKind AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder is a high density, multi-functional, platform. It is designed for the evolving requirements of today’s broadcasters and network operators.
The AVP 2000 supports a comprehensive range of processing options in the form of hot swappable modules.
The platform’s modular design allows service providers to upgrade functionality incrementally, avoiding costly upgrades.
Already proven as part of MediaKind’s deployed 3DTV and 4K UHDTV contribution system, its multi-channel capabilities and variety of I/O options provide the most flexible and configurable solution for high quality content delivery. MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and JPEG 2000 are all supported.
To make it simpler to select the most popular options, a set of four AVP 2000 configuration packs are now available at very attractive fixed prices. The configuration packs provide a hierarchy of functionality starting with the Basic HD, moving to the HD with ASI, the HD 4:2:2 and finally the Premium 4:2:2 pack.
It is possible to order an AVP 2000 with the specific combination of software and hardware options that you require. Also any hardware or software upgrades can be added once the unit has been delivered, refer to the AVP 2000 data sheet for details.
The AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder is the basis for the most
efficient video compression engines available to the broadcast market.
The platform itself is designed to address both the need for density with up to six option slots and the need for high resilience by making all the option slots hot swappable and the addition of a dual PSU version of the chassis. A standard IP interface and a wide range of separate I/O options provide interfacing to multiple hybrid networks concurrently. The AVP 2000 allows in-field serviceability, portability and system reconfiguration to address the widest range of C&D applications.
The AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder supports MediaKind’s range of encoder modules.
The CE-HEVC encoder module provides support for HEVC and MPEG-4 AVC video compression. Each module can encode a single UHD (4k) video service or up to 4 HD video services. It supports 4:2:2 or 4:2:0, 8 or 10-bit video, and can provide low and super low end to end latency encoding modes.
The CE-xA/A encoder module provide high quality MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-2 video compression for standard definition and high definition video.
The CE-aA/A encoder module provide high quality MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-2 of 4:2:0 8-bit video in a compact form factor.
The CE-aJ2K encoder modules provide JPEG-2000 video compression capability.
So the AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder pushes encoding efficiency, serviceability and upgradeability to new levels of excellence.
A new front panel provides complete unit control in mobile environments. Its unique ergonomic new design is the result of development based on industry feedback and includes:
(CE/HWO/CE-HEVC/BNC) (CE/HWO/CE-HEVC/SFP)
/BNC variant co-axial cable inputs
/SFP variant has SFP slots

Product Overview
The MediaKind AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder is designed to address both the need for density with up to six option slots and the need for high resilience by making all the option slots hot swappable and the addition of a dual PSU version of the chassis. A standard IP interface and a wide range of separate I/O options provide interfacing to multiple hybrid networks concurrently. The AVP 2000 allows in-field serviceability, portability and system reconfiguration to address the widest range of C&D applications.
The AVP 2000 uses MediaKind’s in house video encoding algorithms and deliver best in class video compression performance from very low bit rate to high bit-rate operation.
The AVP 2000 can provide MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC or even JPEG 2000* encoding, 4:2:0 8 bit or 4:2:2 10 bit, SD or HD, even UHDTV is possible (using two AVP units).
The AVP 2000 provides two IP output ports as standard and can also provide ASI output or G.703 output through the fitting of option modules.
