MediaKind RX8330

Product Overview

The Perfect Choice for a Large Network

The RX8330 is the perfect receive device for distribution of video services throughout a large network. The RX8330 provides the most up-to-date feature-set, combining maximum transmission efficiency with easy remote management of the receiver population.

Descrambling for Content Turn-Around

The RX8330 provides the capability to descramble single or multiple services to feed content turn-around systems enabling

cost-conscious, efficient transcode systems.

Broadcast Efficiency

The RX8330 in combination with MediaKind’s MPEG-4 AVP encoders leads to a highly efficient video distribution system. Combined with the additional 30 percent increase in channel capacity of DVB-S2 the RX8330 allows operators to achieve three times the amount of content through a transponder.

Multi-format Decoding

The RX8330 decodes all major SD video formats in use today providing complete flexibility for daily operations. The versatility that the RX8330 decoder provides makes it a “safe choice” for companies that are beginning to transmit MPEG-4 AVC SD but also continue to work in MPEG-2 SD. With the RX8330 they can migrate at their own pace.

Simplified Control and Lower Cost of Operations

Organizations with large populations of RX8330 receivers and other MediaKind receivers can simplify control by integrating with Director by MediaKind. Director provides remote, over-air, single-view control from a central location, reducing the need for on-site local operators.
