HMR5440 Satellite Video Receiver
Overview
A rugged, compact, multi-format professional IRD, the HMR5440 Satellite Video Receiver is used in broadcast contribution and distribution applications where multiple video formats (HD/SD), interface flexibility (Satellite, IP) and content protection (BISS) is required.
Performance
The HMR5440 offers an unprecedented combination of features, performance and reliability at an industry leading price. Available in a simple yet highly functional base unit, the HMR5440 is a HD/SD decoder, capable of both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC. The HMR5440 is a perfect complement to IDC’s TITAN MPEG Video Encoder.
Video
The HMR5440 supports all common HD and SD video formats. Multiple video output formats are supported including composite NTSC or PAL, serial digital SDI for standard definition, HD-SDI and component video for high definition. Video processing is automatically sensed by the HMR5440 and processed as either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC, HD or SD. Included in the HMR5440's basic functions is video conversion from HD to SD, SD to HD, 4:3 to 16:9 and 16:9 to 4:3.
Audio
The HMR5440 decodes up to eight audio channels (four pairs) with analog and digital outputs and embedded in the SDI or HD-SDI.
Genlock (Frame Sync)
The HMR5440 may optionally be configured with internal frame sync for Genlocked applications. Unlike competitive products, proper lip sync is guaranteed—even while operating in frame sync mode.
Input Interfaces
The HMR5440 is highly flexible and offers various input interfaces including ASI, DVB-S, DVB-S2, MPEG over IP, or DS3/E3.
Operator Control
The HMR5440 supports an embedded Web browser interface or SNMP to allow for easy command and control programming. It also offers the options of RS-232 proprietary command line management and control. As with all IDC products, the HMR5440 has a fully featured front panel control.
