Ericsson E5740 MPEG-2 Standard Definition DSNG Encoder

Product Overview

The E5740 is an extremely flexible, high-end encoder that can be upgraded to provide HD encoding, allowing both improved bandwidth efficiencies and best quality. It features best-in-class MPEG-2 SD encoding in 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 profiles. The E5740 has four free option card slots for upgrades and adding features.

DSNG trucks need to be real communications centers with scalable options. The E5740 offers bi-directional support for IP data and telephony. The ability to add communication solutions through card options provides real functional, as well as cost-saving benefits.

News gathering organizations cannot afford to have their truck down for any reason. Should it be necessary to return a unit for upgrade or service, Ericsson has a unique advance loan scheme with ready-to-ship spares always in stock to keep customers on-air. The E5714 platform comes with a standard two-year warranty that together with the advance loan scheme offers unrivalled support.

The E5740 can be used for DENG (Terrestrial Microwave) applications either with or without the internal DVB-S2 modulator. The COFDM modulator option card therefore makes the E5740 a dual purpose DSNG/DENG transmitter.

DVB-S2 offers up to a 35% improvements in transmission efficiencies compared to DVB-S. DVB-S2 is a modem technology so the benefits are in addition to savings offered by Ericsson's premium encoding technology. The E5740 L-band and IF models come with a DVB-S2 capable modulator as standard which can be activated via licence key to enable its advanced features.

Base Unit Features

NOTE: The DVB-S / S2 modulator provides either an L-band output or 70 MHz IF output. The correct card must be specified at time of ordering.

• Voyager E5740 L-BAND DSNG (M2/VOY/E5740-LBAND)
• Voyager E5740 IF DSNG (M2/VOY/E5740-IF)

The two modulator configurations allow the E5740 to be applied to a wide range of DSNG applications that interface at either L-band or IF.

The base E5740 can be upgraded with both an IRD and SNG comms card to offer a complete uplink and comms system, offering up to 8 channels of telephony as well as IP input. New units built post 01/01/06 are provided with a HOM and DVB-S2 capability as standard; features can be enabled very simply with a license key.
