Contribution Applications:
     Whether you need High Definition or Standard Definition MPEG 2, the Adtec mediaHUB-HD Pro supports SD 422 (422P@ML), SD 420 (MP@ML) and HD 1080i or 720P (MP@HL) video encoding with or without BISS encryption. Audio encoding includes dual stereo pair Dolby Digital and MPEG 1 Layer 2* standard. Dolby E and Dolby 5.1 passthrough are also standard. A highly robust single channel per carrier (SCPC) MPEG2 Transport Stream with DVB Service Name is output via ASI and GIGE, all the while maintaining a live confidence decode and optional "Constant Capture" of your valuable contribution feed.
* Possibly known as MUSICAM

     External IRDs are optional when employing the mediaHUB-HD Pro and its built-in confidence decoder. It boasts HDSDI, HDMI, and Composite video outputs providing a real time confidence decode of the video and user selected stereo audio pair. Support for MPEG 1 Layer 2 and Dolby Digital audio decoding are standard.
* Dolby E decode and passthrough not supported by confidence decoder.
* BISS not supported by confidence decoder.

     For multiplexing many services or channels per carrier (MCPC), Adtec's DTA-3050 is the perfect companion product. It's 10 ASI inputs provide flexibility and high performance throughput with exceptionally low jitter. The DTA remaps PIDs, adds and drops services, provides BISS and DVB-CSA encryption, builds DVB Tables, and adds the ability to operate encoders and DTA's fully redundant.

Distribution Applications:
     Distribute the highest quality Digital Television sound and pictures 24x7x365 with the mediaHUB-HD Pro. Built to run - the mediaHUB-HD Pro supports ATSC, DVB, MPEG, and IPTV platforms delivering a pristine transport stream including broadcast quality Video, Audio with excellent lip sync, Closed Captions, Teletext, and static ATSC and DVB service information. For multiplexing and fully dynamic ATSC and DVB service information applications, Adtec's DTA-305x is the perfect companion product - it even adds the ability to operate fully redundant.

     The mediaHUB-HD Pro includes a built-in confidence decoder which boasts HDSDI, HDMI, and Composite video outputs. It provides a real time confidence decode of the video with captions and selected stereo audio pair. Dolby Digital, MPEG 1 Layer 2 audio decoding and Dolby 5.1 down-mix are standard.

     Adtec's exclusive "Constant Capture" feature records the distribution signal on its massive internal hard drive. Constant Capture allows the user to define the segment record duration and maintains all segments until the hard drive is full. When full, the first segment is deleted to make room for new ones (FIFO). Nearly 80 hours of distribution quality HD can be stored for review or transfer to an external storage devices.

Studio Applications:
     Frame accurately capture HDSDI, SDI or Analog video and two pairs of stereo audio with the mediaHUB-HD Pro. The standard Sony 9-PIN interface operates in Controller and Recorder mode allowing it to control a tape device or be controller by a non-linear editor (NLE). Encode in real-time with the Recorder mode directly from an NLE time line directly to long GOP MPEG 2. Frame accurately encode directly from Apple Final Cut Studio, Adobe Premier and Avid NLEs without rolling tape. Create SD and HD Cable Labs compliant MPEG 2 transport streams with the mediaHUB-HD Pro. The captured files are pristine, transport-stream formatted files, saved directly to disk in real-time, requiring NO rendering! They include broadcast quality Video, Audio with excellent lip sync, Closed Captions and Teletext. Audio encoding includes dual stereo pair Dolby Digital and MPEG 1 Layer 2* standard. Dolby E and Dolby 5.1 passthrough are also standard.
