KEY FEATURES

• Intuitive, straightforward web interface

The AG 4400 card-based receiver decoder provides an ideal solution for high-quality video decoding where rack space is at a premium. The platform supports up to 10 decoder cards in the industrystandard 2RU openGear ® OG-3 or OG-X chassis. It can also be hosted in the Sencore CRD 4900 chassis.

The product supports decoding MPEG-2 or H.264 video, as well as up to four audio PIDs. The audio decoding capability is the perfect solution for video distributors looking to meet descriptive video requirements, while continuing to support surround, stereo, and SAP services.

The AG 4400 receiver decoder card offers satellite,

IP, ASI, and 8VSB/QAM-B and DVB-T/T2/C/C2/

ISDB-T inputs for flexible installation into a variety of video delivery systems. Optional integrated DVB-CI descrambling, as well as BISS-1/E/2/CA capabilities, makes the AG 4400 a powerful solution for receiving feeds from primary distribution.

• Extensive automation support via SNMP status, configuration, and traps, HTTP-based APIs, and Syslog

• Shared software and feature-set with Sencore 1RU decoders ensure reliability and interoperability

• Support for All Common Video Formats

√ MPEG-2 or H.264, HD or SD video

√ Codecs auto-detected and switchable on-the-fly

• Up to 4 services of audio decoding or SDI pass-through with support for all major audio formats

• Dual SDI auto-switching outputs

• Built-in ASI I/O for maximum value and flexibility

• Available IP, 8VSB/QAM-B, DVB-T/T2/C/C2/ISDB-T and satellite inputs

• Full complement of ancillary data output in ANC and VBI

• Closed-caption or auto-scaling subtitle overlays for monitoring or burn-in applications

• Full control, status, and alarm monitoring via SNMP

When combined with versatile IP input/output capabilities, a full complement of ancillary data support, and tested interoperability with all major encode vendors, the AG 4400 is an ideal solution for high-density re-encode or monitoring.

In addition, the decoder benefits from Sencore’s tradition of receiver decoder design and is backed

by best-in-class ProCare support.

APPLICATIONS

• Monitor Multi-channel Distribution Installations

Create a real-time monitoring system to feed an SDI matrix or power a multi-viewer with minimal rack-space and power consumption. Time-tested, professional grade decode engine handles any video feed.

• Decode Multiple Channels for Re-encoding

Reduce the footprint of existing decode/re-encode infrastructure without reinventing the entire system.

Redundant SDI outputs with a full complement of ancillary data interoperate with any encoder.
