The SE2000 MPEG-2 Encoder is specifically featured for LPTV, translator and full-power ATSC television stations, as well as cable head-end and closed-circuit cableapplications. Its impressive feature set and performance is the result of years ofleadership in the Broadcast Contribution and Satellite Modem business. Tiernantechnology enabled the first commercial deployment of MPEG-2 video compressionfor use in the outside broadcast industry in 1995, and continues today withadvanced video compression technology supporting the ATSC digital televisionrollout. The SE2000 provides industry leading Tiernan audio and video encoding ina rugged 1RU chassis, and is ideal for large system networks as well as individualtelevision stations and cable head-ends. 

LOW BIT RATE ENCODING PERFORMANCE: Through the use of the latestencoding engines, as well as various pre-processing and encoding parameteradjustments, the SE2000 provides exceptional low bit rate performance.

EASY TO USE: The SE2000 includes a Web Browser based Graphic User Interfacefor easy configuration. It also has an RS-232 proprietary command line M&C andSNMP via Ethernet. 

RELIABLE AND AFFORDABLE: By using the latest integration of MPEG and low-power digital electronics technology, the SE2000 delivers an encoder in a small,quiet, low- power consumption, highly reliable, and feature rich package. TheSE2000 even includes redundant cooling fans with fault monitoring to ensuretrouble-free operation under the harshest of conditions.

REDUNDANCY: With the inclusion of a Tiernan integrated multiplexer, both simpland advanced redundant configurations can be provided in a very space and coefficient manner.

SECURE TRANSMISSION: For CATV and CCTV systems, the SE2000 can beintegrated with all industry standard encryption systems, such as Irdeto or Nagra.For smaller systems using Tiernan decoders, Tiernan's proprietary conditionalaccess system may be used. Tiernan's Privacy Guard Conditional Access (PGCA)provides decoder addressability and ensures secure transmissions.
