MediaKind AVP2000

Product Overview

High Flexibility, Reliability and Serviceability

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.

Leading High Quality Compression

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 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.

Highest Compression Performance

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.

Multi-codec

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).

• JPEG 2000 encoding requires the addition of a CE-aJ2K encoding

Multi-output

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.
