Ericsson/MediaKind AVP4000 HD Video Encoder

Ericsson AVP4000 HD Encoder

In a fast changing, highly competitive market, media organisations need encoding solutions that deliver high quality, high reliability and operational flexibility. The number of channels continues to increase. HD is growing fast, offering a better quality viewing experience. Consumers are buying larger and larger TV sets and now plans are being laid for Ultra High Definition TV. All that means, media organisations need to make the most efficient use of bandwidth and ensure consumers get a quality viewing experience.

The Ericsson AVP 4000 system encoder answers all those needs, delivering high quality system encoding for IPTV, Cable, Satellite and Broadcast. Part of the multiple award winning Ericsson AVP encoder range, the AVP 4000 also incorporates the rich toolset of Ericsson’s market leading VPC system encoder.

A compact 1RU form factor offers up to six hot swappable option slots, for combinations of encoding and auxiliary modules. Dual power supplies protect services and an onboard video monitor gives instant operator feedback.

Unlike conventional ‘box per application’ encoder products, the AVP 4000 shares a common toolset, common chassis and common interface with the rest of Ericsson’s award winning AVP products. That means media organisations can use a common encoder for a wide range of encoding needs, without the cost and complexity of a multi-vendor ’mix and match’ approach. The AVP 4000 is equally suitable for deployment as a system component, or as part of an Ericsson iSIS 8000 multi platform head end system solution.
