SYSTEM OF CHOICE FOR PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS

Sencore is dedicated to providing world class equipment that enable operators to deliver professional broadcast services at the highest possible quality. The DMG 3200 is built around a modular platform hosting a wide selection of interoperable modules that give unparalleled configuration possibilities.

Through its clever and robust design, the integrated architecture offers superior reliability that can meet even the most demanding operator requirements.

A key feature of the DMG 3200 is the ability to accommodate customers preferred system architectures while reducing complexity. It is possible to build an entire broadcast system within a single chassis or distribute it between several discreet stages or distributed architectures. Sencore’s deep understanding of the market and close co-operation with operators in the design of products ensures the ability to provide optimal solutions for a wide array of fixed or wireless networks. Our philosophy greatly reduces the cost of ownership and ensures that operators can simultaneously handle legacy challenges and evolve through the introduction of brand new services.

Sencore’s DMG 3200 is our latest generation carrier grade platforms with 1RU and 4RU chassis options of unmatched power and versatility. There are no restrictions even for the most intensive processing requirement. Both units feature uprated dual-redundant and hot swappable power supplies, increased cooling, enhanced redundancy and a number of other features.

An advanced user friendly GUI offers an intuitive and comprehensive management of the many features of the system. The exhaustive multi-level alarm system, together with the easiness for integration to 3rd party management systems, enables full automatic control. The possibility of centralized monitoring simplifies deployment and streamlines maintenance.

Sencore classifies its modules into different categories depending on the functionality. These include switching, input for content aggregation, compression, processing, and output modules. All modules can be combined freely to provide the desired functionality. The latest innovations include the possibility to deliver and convert both analog and digital broadcast services, from point to point, or from point to multipoint and in any format to any screen.

All modules and functions are further described within the ‘modules’ section of this brochure.

Advanced architecture designed to save space, energy and resources

CHASSIS

Sencore offers two different chassis: the 4RU chassis which can hold 16 modules and the 1RU chassis which can hold

6 modules. In addition, each of the chassis houses a switch and management module that can be equipped with dual IP I/Os. Both chassis variants have dual-redundant and hot swappable power supplies. Each unit with its hot swappable modules allows for various redundancy scenarios.

Any of the modules listed under the Input, Encoding/Transcoding, Processing, and Output sections can be combined into the same chassis.

Only chassis space or total throughput will limit the number of modules that can be fitted. The chassis has been designed for a throughput of 850 Mbit/s of MPEG TS data and 250 services. In selected configurations, capacity can be increased to 1700 Mbit/s and 500 services (please contact Sencore for more information).

The 4RU chassis has four independent fan modules that operate and are monitored independently. The four fan modules are identical and support hot-swap. The 1RU chassis has one preassembled fan module consisting of 6 fans. The fan module is hot-swappable as one complete module. The internal temperature is monitored and if a fan fails, the remaining fans will compensate by increasing the speed.

SWITCH MODULES

The switch module is used to enable MPEG traffic distribution within the chassis and provides the Man Machine Interface (MMI), enabling configuration and management of the chassis.

The 4RU chassis has dedicated positions for the switch module in slot 0 with an optional (for selected configurations) redundant switch module in slot 17. The switch module can be equipped with two independent IP IO ports as an option. The 1RU chassis provides an integrated switch module in the front with IP IO as standard. The switch module for 1RU is functionally identical to the switch module used in the larger 4RU chassis, but has a different hardware layout.

At least one switch module is required in all chassis. In addition to being the active part of the internal backplane, the switch module provides the central control and management interface. When equipped with two IP IO data ports, reception or streaming of MPEG compliant transport streams over UDP/RTP is supported by the module. Each port operates independently and can be configured as either IP in or IP out supporting full 850 Mbit/s TS data rate and up to 250 MPEG services. The switch module can be provided with either RJ45 connectors or SFP connectors on the two data ports. When equipped with two data ports, the module also has a Gen Lock input port. The switch module is hotswappable for easy maintenance.

The Switch IP IO MMI module can also be ordered to include a GPS receiver for terrestrial SFN applications. For the 4RU, this is a separate module that must be placed in slot 1, while for 1RU, it is an add-on module for the switch module. One SMA connector for connecting either a GPS antenna or a 1 PPS reference is then available. It is also possible to order without the GPS radio module so that it just provides a high stability oscillator providing locking to a 1 PPS or 10MHz reference signal.

MPEG INPUT MODULES

Sencore has a wide range of input modules making it the most effective content aggregation solution on the market. An input module analyzes incoming transport streams and extracts selected MPEG services from the desired physical input interface (eg. ASI, IP, DVB-S/S2/S2X,

DVB-C, DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T and 8VSB). Each input module type is based on embedded hardware design offering high density and reliability. The ability to mix input types freely within a chassis enables multiple MPEG transport streams originating from a variety of sources to be received and processed in parallel. Received signals can be demodulated, de-multiplexed and distributed to other modules inside the chassis via the backplane.

A wide range of input modules are available including IP, ASI, DVB-S/S2/S2X, DVB-C, DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T and 8VSB. The chassis supports any combination of input modules limited only by available slot space. Each input module is designed to receive up to 850Mbit/s of MPEG TS rate or 250 services. In re-multiplexing mode, all services are de-multiplexed by the input module before passed onto the backplane. Unused services are blocked by the input module to avoid propagating them further, which increases efficiency. The full content of an input port can be mapped transparently to an output port with the option to perform PID filtering or service filtering.

UNIVERSAL ENCODER & TRANSCODER

Linear Broadcast

In order to optimize the performance of their networks, it is essential for professional broadcasters to deploy the latest advances in compression technology. Whether the aim is to add new channels to existing multiplexes or provide genuine video quality improvements, operators should always strive to utilize the best in class technology to offer superior viewing experience whilst improving bandwidth efficiency.

Sencore has developed an encoding/transcoding solution providing leading class performance for video quality and channel density on a specifically designed module targeting a wide range of applications. This allows users to maintain the best possible quality of service in combination with low power consumption and integrated multi-level redundancy.

The immense computational power of the platform runs all-new and highly evolved encoding algorithms, boosting performance to the limit for both AVC and MPEG2 video. The highly programmable and flexible audio encoder offers high density per channel and includes Dolby® codecs, making this one of the most powerful encoder platforms on the market.

A brand new architecture offers full flexibility for configuration, with adaptable application modes. The Universal Encoder and Universal

Transcoder module can operate in either a High Video Quality mode, or alternatively in high density broadcast mode. Channel density is significantly increased with a small adjustment in performance whilst Multiscreen mode enables operators to increase content reach to multiple media devices in the fixed and mobile domain.

The new second generation statistical multiplexing provides ultra-fast refresh rate from a multi-pass look-ahead design minimizing inherent latency. Mixed encoder/ transcoder populations can be used within the platform supporting several single or mixed format SD/HD statistical multiplexing groups so that low-bitrate encoding can be applied to specific services within any given group.

All new Universal Encoder/Transcoder modules can be used in new or existing 4RU or 1RU Series platforms and can work in combination with any other modules from Sencores comprehensive range.

Multiscreen (OTT):

Increased internet access together with more powerful computers, integrated TVs, tablets and mobile phones makes it possible for consumers to receive video content from broadcasters anywhere, at any time and on any screen. This introduces new challenges for content and network infrastructure providers who need to offer a wide range of different distribution formats with the best possible live video experience regardless of the distribution networks and viewing devices that are being used.

The latest innovative Universal Encoder/Transcoder running in Multiscreen mode from Sencore enables broadcasters and IP network operators to provide high quality multiscreen services. The transcoder module supports MPEG-2/4 TS input and transcodes to multiformat

MPEG-4 TS output with IDR alignment. The encoder module accepts SDI/HDSDI inputs directly, and encodes these into multiple profiles as a single pass, avoiding the need to concatenate compression stages which always causes inefficiencies and reduces VQ. The unique architecture delivers significant VQ and efficiency benefits for all real-time applications.

Sencore now offers a truly optimized OTT solution capable of accepting any input signal format. These benefits are magnified further by a modular architecture that lets you fit encoding or transcoding options freely according to actual need. The Sencore Multiscreen encoder/ transcoder simultaneously prepares multiple signals from any source in any format for distribution to high definition televisions, high resolution computers and low resolution web and mobile devices.

The highly programmable functions include input service replication, resolution change, interlaced to progressive conversion, rescaling and key frame alignment. The end result provides key-frame aligned outputs in transport stream format with the required metadata to support either IPTV distribution directly, or interface with the customers preferred packagers to perform segmentation.

The proven ability to interface with several leading segmenters/originserver is another major feature of the Sencore solution. It enables customers to freely create a best of breed solution, combining best in class compression with their choice of latest features such as targeted advertising and common encryption with MPEG DASH.

PROCESSING MODULES

Descrambling and Scrambling

Sencore provides two types of descramblers: CAM-based (DVB-Common Interface) and bulk descrambling. The CAM based descrambler module is integrated with professional CAM modules from vendors such as SMIT, SmarDTV, Aston etc. and supports descrambling of up to

10 services per CAM. The bulk descrambler is aimed at software-based CA systems or CA vendors open for an embedded integration. It is used for the descrambling of multiple services protected by one or more CA systems and offers very high descrambling density of up to 250 services per module, making it an efficient, space and energy saving solution. The scrambler module supports both DVB CSA and all common flavors of AES scrambling algorithms. The scrambler module is fully simulcrypt compliant and has been integrated with all major CA vendors.

EPG and audio leveling

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) module allows a network operator to receive several channel bouquets from multiple sources and reuse the existing EPG information. The EPG will receive EIT tables from any available input automatically and filter out unused services and re-generate the EIT schedule to reflect the current channel lineup for the selected network. For channels without EPG information on air, the information can be imported via a dedicated IP interface using XMLTV format.

Sencore’s audio leveling simplifies the process of changing the audio levels of hundreds of channels by eliminating the need to decode and re-encode these TV and radio channels prior to transmitting them. The solution lets operators tune the audio level of up to 250 audio tracks individually, within the MPEG domain. The audio leveling module supports MPEG-1 layer 1 or 2 audio with an adjustment range of ±30dB.

Sencore offers a large number of different output modules that can be used in various applications. All output modules have powerful MPEG multiplexing and PSI/SI/PSIP capabilities to enable operators to maximize the potential of their network. Each output module has been designed to support 850 Mbit/s transport stream data-rate and 250 services.

IP and ASI output

The IP output module is a high capacity module with full multiplexing and PSI/SI regeneration targeted at linear broadcasting. The IP output modules support any combination of MPTS and SPTS as long as the total number of services is less than 250 and the total transport stream bit-rate is less than 850 Mbit/s. Each output port supports IPv4, IPv6, source specific multicast, generation of FEC according to SMPTE 2022 and Sencore’s unique IP output redundancy solution.

For legacy systems an ASI output module with 4 independent ASI outputs is available. Each ASI output supports up to 213 Mbit/s in burst mode or 72 Mbit/s in spread (byte) mode.

Modulated output

All Sencore’s modulated output modules are based on a full digital modulation and up-conversion architecture developed in house to provide the best possible output quality. Sencore’s leading edge DVB-T/T2 modulator is fully frequency agile for terrestrial transmitters, MMDS systems or for DVB-T/T2 modulation into cable networks. This high density modulator is capable of producing up to 4 DVB-T or 2 DVB-T2 modulated channels, offering more throughput and improved error resiliency. For terrestrial operation, the modulator supports SFN with either MIP TS or

T2MI as input .

Sencore’s advanced DVB-S/S2 modulator is a fully frequency agile modulator aimed at modulating SD/HD services on to satellite. This high density modulator is capable of producing up to 2 DVB-S or DVB-S2 modulated channels. The solution offers broadcasters a higher rack density and lower power consumption, compared to alternative solutions and comes with advanced functionality like pre-compensation. The

DVB-S/S2/S2X modulator is available in two different output configurations: IF or L-band.

Sencore’s compact QAM solution generates 16 QAM frequencies for cable networks. The module support both full re-multiplexing and transparent mapping with optional NIT replacement and PID/Service blocking making it one of the most versatile QAM modulation solutions for linear broadcasting on the market. Sencore’s QAM solution is ideal for regional cable head-ends where additional processing are required like service filtering, local re-multiplexing, local encoding, SI regeneration, EPG regeneration, etc.

Terrestrial GW solutions

The gateway module transforms an Sencore chassis into a complete solution for DVB-T and T2. It combines the MPEG multiplexing, PSI/SI generation and gateway roles into a single module. Combining this with modules to perform encoding, transcoding and scrambling enables a unique integrated head-end design eliminating the need for a traditional multiple box approach with the added complexity. The Sencore gateway module supports DVB-T with MIP timestamp insertion or DVB-T2 T2MI encapsulation with SFN timestamps together with multi PLP support. The terrestrial gateway module is available with ASI or IP outputs and can support up to 4 separate gateways per module (2 on ASI out). Integrated redundancy schemes are available to go beyond what is commonly available today and provide seamless protection of the distribution chain as well as the SFN network.

END TO END TERRESTRIAL SOLUTIONS

Sencore offers the most integrated, powerful and flexible range of DVB-T2 solutions. The compact modular approach makes it possible to provide complete head-ends consisting of content acquisition, premium compression with statistical multiplexing, DVB-T2 gateways, and modulation in single or multiple units to provide an end to end solution.

Terrestrial signals for DVB-T2 can be distributed via satellite, ASI or IP to transmitter sites where regional processing is performed before being delivered to the transmitter. In addition Sencore can provide a complete low-power transmitter solution with all necessary components integrated into a compact 1RU chassis if applicable. All components are developed in house, giving customer’s access to our design level expertise with the added benefit of being able to customize the solution to meet specific customer requirements.

The solution offers many highly distinctive features including a new option for providing regionalization using the ‘common PLP’ mechanism, an integrated seamless DVB-T2 gateway redundancy option and sophisticated seamless IP packet re-construction to dramatically increase signal distribution robustness over IP links. Because the entire solution is modular, Sencore offers the market an easy to manage, easy to upgrade, ultra-compact solution that provides the best possible standards of technical performance whilst consuming a fraction of the space and power of competing systems.

DVB-T2 Integrated Multiplexer and DVB-T2 Gateway Module

Sencore has improved upon typical DTT architectures that rely on multiple boxesand complex NMS to provide an integrated solution.

In contrast, Sencore solutions are optimally integrated from the beginning. Sencore gateway module is an integrated MPEG multiplexer,

PSI/SI generator and DVB-T2 gateway on a single slot.

The advanced Sencore DVB-T2 gateway module is representative of Sencore’s modular approach enabling operators to combine reception, descrambling, encoding/transcoding, scrambling, multiplexing, PSI/SI generation,T2 gateway and modulation stages within a single chassis with integrated management.

Sencore modules offer high channel and carrier density. The gateway module supports multiplexing and T2MI generation of up to 4 independent complete T2MI streams on IP or 2 T2MI streams on ASI and provides up to 140 regional PLPs per module. The combination of integration and performance offered by the module is unique, making it the most powerful, yet easiest to use, DVB-T2 Gateway solution on the market. The modules are usually provided in 1+1 redundancy configuration using the Sencore seamless T2MI redundancy option.

The gateway’s many features can be used to complement the requirements and distribution methods required by individual customers, and can support centralized (backhaul) and ‘in region’ (edge) content replacement models using any distribution mechanism including support for TS replacement or deterministic PLP replacement techniques as appropriate.

Architectures and Regionalization

Sencore network delivery enhancements include support for the DVB-S/S2 standard and are incorporated into the satellite modulator and demodulator modules. For IP distribution our ‘seamless’ packet re-construction technology provides superior protection against network packet loss and enables FEC levels to be reduced, re-claiming useful bandwidth whilst ensuring exceptional QoS. Network reach can be extended via our fully integrated modular low-power

R E D U N D A N C Y

Sencore’s intelligent redundancy software provides seamless integration between broadcast equipment and IP networks. It protects every stage and provides automatic backup in case of service stream failure at input, protection from internal failures, and intermittent or permanent data losses within distribution networks without requiring complex control software.

Sencore’s redundancy solution is unique in being the only solution in the IP television market to take a holistic view of operation and network management. Redundancy configuration is simplified and automated, and operational routines are significantly reduced. The integrated redundancy solutions offer operators compelling quality of service benefits and improved network reliability. The individual elements of this integrated solution are further described below. For more detailed information please contact Sencore.

Input redundancy

The Sencore system is equipped with an advanced input redundancy switching mechanism. Any output service can be configured to have a backup service from a different input TS regardless of input type.

Input switching can also be performed on TS level using ‘input port redundancy’.

The Sencore self-managed N+M redundancy for encoding and transcoding provides a powerful option for broadcasters needing the economies of N+M compression redundancy without the expense, complexity and long term reliability concerns of a conventional NMS.

Rather than relying on external PC hardware, Sencore have integrated the redundancy control into the built in management system thus simplifying system configuration eliminating integration and operational issues between HW and management PC. It is the perfect Redundancy switching can be set to automatic or manual. In automatic mode it is possible to choose from the following switching modes: Once (switch and stop), Floating or Reverting.

method for creating the intelligent ‘device islands’ that are increasingly being favored by broadcasters when architecting new solutions.

Internal Redundancy (4RU chassis feature)

By using Sencore’s Internal Redundancy feature, all critical single points of failure in the 4RU chassis are eliminated. This clever mechanism facilitates configurations with redundant switch modules, redundant backplanes, redundant IP inputs, redundant MMI (i.e. management & control) as well as redundant power supplies. In case of input, switch or MMI failure, all output modules will switch backplane and log into the other MMI where it will receive the services from the backup inputs and switch.

sources from which it is possible to obtain the same service. Should the service from one source be corrupted, the network can receive the service from another source. The redundancy solution is service based (multicast based) where the same service will be available for two or more sources. As long as all sources with the same channel have the same IP source address, the network will route just a single copy of the multicast stream forward to the receiver based on routing cost. In the event of a service issue within, or prior to, the Sencore chassis, the IP output module exploits standard IP protocols to trigger external routers to switch to secondary sources. The “Monitor-in-out”

By having 1+1 redundancy on inputs and switch modules, all components of the chassis are backed up, except for the output functionality may be used for those networks not utilizing routing protocols.

modules which normally handle a subset of the available channels. In case of failure of output modules, they can easily be hot-swapped, and the affected services will be up and running in seconds.

N+M redundancy (4RU chassis feature) (License)

Where full redundancy is not required, partial redundancy strategies can be implemented. Systems can be configured to provide full redundancy of only selected premium or ‘must-carry’ services.

Operators can then choose not to replicate the input and descrambling functions of lower priority services, but still equip the chassis with
