TANDBERG E5720 Standard Definition Encoder

Product Overview

Extensive video pre-processing helps get the best picture, whatever the source. A proven history of providing customers with in-field performance improvements and feature upgrades, keeps our customers ahead of the market.

The E5720 is easily adaptable to a wide range of professional applications that require top-level performance and functionality. The 2RU chassis allows up to 6 option cards to be fitted and supports a 12- key alphanumeric key pad, 8 hot keys and video input confidence monitor. Coupled with the low bit-rate performance, this makes it an ideal component in contribution and distribution applications, as well as multichannel solutions for broadband DSL/FTTH, cable, satellite or digital terrestrial.

The E5720 offers breadth and depth in operational capabilities including Variable Bitrate (VBR) and Constant Bitrate (CBR) modes, Reflex™ statistical multiplexing and audio capabilities allowing operators to design their ideal encoding system and maximize their bandwidth capacity. For content protection, the E5720 supports both RAS and BISS for secure contribution networks.

The E5720 can be remotely controlled via a web browser and can also be efficiently managed and maintained through integration into TANDBERG Television's nCompass control system. This scalable system enables reliable, remote management and monitoring, reducing the need for costly, on-site operation.
