TES5 Serial Digital Multistandard TV Data Encoder Platform

Overview Key Features The Ross Video TES5 Serial Digital Multistandard TV Data Encoder / Inserter is a The TES5 combines the four highly flexible platform for encoding, inserting, receiving, bridging and multiplexing components necessary for TV data digital data in the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of any component serial digital TV transmission into one unit: signal. The TES5 has four input data ports that are enabled by software modules to accept RS-232 data; three ports are direct and one is via an internal 33.6Kbps • Communications: Four data modem or LAN adaptor. The TES5 can house up to four encoder software ports and VBI serial digital and modules for encoding and inserting up to four input data streams into a single VBI. analog data decoders can be The TES5 can operate in any television and AC power standard, and can encode used for data input and output. and insert data in any TV data format into either 525 or 625 line component serial digital video signals. • Processing: The heart of the TES5 is an Intel Prosessor The TES5 can be used as an encoder/inserter for encoding and inserting with FLASH disk. Data formatting asynchronous serial RS-232 data streams into the VBI, or as a data bridge for is handled by the unit and Ross extracting the data from the VBI of one video source and inserting it into the VBI Video encoder software modules of another. Standard encoder software modules are available for broadcasting or are stored in non-volatile bridging data meeting North American (NABTS), European (WST) or Japanese memory.
