The document discusses three different devices: 1. The EN8030 is an MPEG4 SD encoder that takes in SDI and encodes it into ASI, with three simultaneous ASI ports that can be controlled via web page or front panel. 2. The RX8200 is an advanced modular receiver that decodes according to licenses, used to downlink Ku and C-band frequencies, and has many variants requiring individual configuration. 3. The MX8400 is the latest multiplexer with a max 250 Mbps bitrate and license for one TS, a 2U chassis with three LED indicators, and a 1+1 configuration.

1. EN8030
• MPEG4 SD encoder
• Controlled by NCC through control IP
• Takes in SDI and encodes it into ASI
• Has three ASI ports which work
simultaneously
• Can be controlled by web-page or front
panel as well

2. RX8200
• Advanced Modular Receiver
• Decodes as per the licenses provided
• Used to downlink Ku-Band and C-Band
frequencies
• Has many variants
• Has to be configured individually.
• Can be configured by NCC
• Gives out HD or SD SDI/ASI out after decoding

3. MX8400
• Latest Multiplexer
• Max bitrate is 250 Mbps
• Has license for 1 TS
• Can never be configured individually
• 2U chassis
• 3 LEDs at front. Blue = Active, Red = Alarm
• 1+1 configuration

5. Asynchronous Serial Interface, or ASI, is a streaming data format which often
carries an MPEG Transport Stream.
An ASI signal can carry one or multiple SD, HD or audio programs that are already
compressed, not like an uncompressed SD-SDI(270 Mbit/s) or HD-SDI (1.485 Gbit/s).
An ASI signal can be at varying transmission speeds and is completely dependent on
the user's engineering requirements. For example, an ATSC (US digital standard for
broadcasting) has a maximum bandwidth of 19.392658 Mbit/s. Generally, the ASI
signal is the final product of video compression, either MPEG2 or MPEG4, ready for
transmission to a transmitter or microwave system or other device. Sometimes it is
also converted to fiber, RF or SMPTE310 for other types of transmission. There are
two transmission formats commonly used by the ASI interface: the 188 byte format
and the 204 byte format. The 188 byte format is the more common ASI transport
stream. When optional Reed–Solomon error correction data are included,
the packet can stretch an extra 16 bytes to 204 bytes total. Time Warner Cable was
the first company to implement this standard in 1983.

6. Serial digital interface (SDI) is a family of digital video interfaces first
standardized by SMPTE(The Society of Motion Picture and Television
Engineers) in 1989. For example, ITU-RBT.656 and SMPTE 259M define
digital video interfaces used for broadcast-grade video. A related
standard, known as high-definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI), is
standardized in SMPTE 292M; this provides a nominal data rate of
1.485 Gbit/s.
Additional SDI standards have been introduced to support increasing
video resolutions (HD, UHD and beyond), frame rates, stereoscopic (3D)
video, and color depth. Dual link HD-SDI consists of a pair of SMPTE
292M links, standardized by SMPTE 372M in 1998; this provides a
nominal 2.970 Gbit/s interface used in applications (such as digital
cinema or HDTV 1080P) that require greater fidelity and resolution than
standard HDTV can provide. 3G-SDI (standardized in SMPTE 424M)
consists of a single 2.970 Gbit/s serial link that allows replacing dual link
HD-SDI.
