Demodulate ATSC 3.0
With the new ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard breaking compatibility with traditional broadcast transport streams, the need convert these signals to support retransmission on existing cable, IPTV and satellite systems is set to grow rapidly.
Sencore’s TXS 3800 is a robust and reliable multi-channel 1RU ATSC 3.0 to Transport Stream transcoder that is ideally suited to help MVPDs convert ATSC 3.0 to the formats and video/audio CODECs they need for their existing distribution systems by following the guidelines of the ATSC A/370 recommended practice.
The TXS 3800 includes both a multi-tuner ATSC 1.0/3.0 RF input for receiving directly off-air or an IP input for receiving streams from an external demodulator. Two transcoding modes are available: Full Transcode converts HEVC video and AC-4 audio to compatible CODECs such as H.264/MPEG-2 and AC-3; Passthrough Transcode preserves native HEVC video and AC-4 audio unchanged while still transcoding captions from TTML to 608/708 and packaging the output as an SPTS. The powerful transcoder can handle up to four services/programs simultaneously.
For operators deploying in markets still on ATSC 1.0, the TXS 3800 can be licensed to demodulate ATSC 1.0 RF signals and output them directly as IP multicasts—making it easy to start with ATSC 1.0 demodulation today and transition to ATSC 3.0 transcoding when market conditions require.
All configuration is done via the intuitive web GUI or through SNMP or web services API.
