Input Modules for Encoder Chassis System
SDE24 Standard Definition Encoder Module
The SDE24 module can encode up to two input sources, source 1 and source 2 in real-time. The
module may be configured to encode source 1 in either MPEG2 or MPEG4 (H.264) transport
streams. Source 2 may be encoded in MPEG2 only. Thus each Encoder Module can output one
MPEG2 stream, two MPEG2 streams, one MPEG4 stream, or one MPEG2 and one MPEG4
stream. Each SDE24 module provides two sets of input connectors for NTSC composite with
stereo audio. Audio is encoded using Dolby AC-3 encoding.
Analog Interface
Composite Video Inputs: 2 composite inputs, one for each program
Composite Video Input Level: 1 Volt p-p +/- 3 dB
Audio Inputs, for 2 programs: RCA type for L and R audio channels, 2 sets
Audio Input Level: 1 V rms or 2 V rms max, user selectable
User adjustable audio gain: +/- 15 dB
MPEG Encoder
Encoder Formats – Input 1: MPEG2 or MPEG4 H.264, selectable
Encode Format – Input 2: MPEG2 only
Encoding Bitrate: Constant Bitrate 1 Mbps to 8 Mbps
Encoding Resolution: 720x480 (Standard Definition)
Video Adjustments: Brightness, Contrast, Saturation & Hue
Audio Encoding format: Dolby AC-3
Output: The output of each SDE24 module is connected
internally to the EH24 or MEQ1000 Encoder Host bus
Latency SD, 480i, MPEG2: Typically 50 mS MPEG4: Typically 100 mS
Note: Each encoder module has
two sets of inputs marked 1 and
2. Number 1 input from all
installed modules will appear as
odd-numbered encoders in the
EH24 menu. Likewise, number 2
SDE24 inputs will correspond to
even-numbered encoders in the
EH24 menu. The number 2
inputs/even numbered encoders
cannot be set to encode
MPEG4/H.264.
SDI24A High Definition Encoder Module
The Drake SDI24A high-definition or standard-definition encoder module generates an MPEG2 or
MPEG4 (H.264) video stream derived from an SDI or HD SDI source, with Dolby® AC3 or MPEG1
layer 2 audio. The SDI24A encoder accepts broadcast type SDI or HD SDI video with embedded
audio. The SDI24A is also provisioned with a set of RCA L&R inputs for adding audio from an ana-
log source.
