This document provides an overview of the Ericsson RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver, including DVB-S2X, HEVC decoding, input/output options and licensing.
The RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver is an Ericsson IRD with a single ASI input as standard and support for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 SD 4:2:0 decoding. It provides SD and HD video output interfaces, two stereo pairs of audio decoding, Dolby Digital decoding and pass-through, and BISS, Common Interface and Ericsson Director descrambling.
Additional licence keys add MPEG-2/MPEG-4 4:2:2 and HD decoding, HEVC 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 8/10-bit 720p/1080i, low-latency operation and DVB-S2X satellite input. Input options include satellite, IP, G.703 ATM and DVB-T/T2, while output options include IP transport stream output and 3x switchable ASI/SDI/HD-SDI outputs.
| Standard ASI input | 1x ASI input transport stream input |
|---|---|
| DVB-S2X satellite input | 4x L-band inputs |
| IP input | 2x 100/1000BaseT input |
| G.703 ATM input rates | 34 Mbps or 45 Mbps |
| DVB-T/T2 input bandwidth | 6MHz, 7MHz and 8MHz |
| Low latency decode | 100ms end-to-end latency |
| Transport stream outputs | 3x switchable ASI/SDI/HD-SDI outputs |
As standard, it decodes MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 SD 4:2:0; additional licence keys add HD, 4:2:2 and HEVC formats.
The document states DVB-S2X offers up to 20% bit rate efficiency for typical video applications.
It has a single ASI input as standard and can be configured with satellite, IP transport stream, G.703 ATM or DVB-T/T2 input options.
Yes; the document states the RX8200 now provides HEVC decode capability, and HEVC SD/HD 4:2:0 decoding is available with a licence key and additional hardware option.
