DSNG applications require robustness and compactness at the same time since DSNG equipment is installed in vehicles that travel to uplink events. Designed for satellite news gathering (DSNG), the Satria™ is a contribution quality high end MPEG-2 and H.264 encoder with a built-in DVB-S-S2 modulator. It supports all of the standard broadcast formats used throughout the world, including all North American standards. The system supports PSIP tables and has an ASI port for dynamic PSIP. The Satria supports HD-SDI, HDMI, YPbPr, and CVBS input. Simultaneous outputs are one L-Band and two identical ASI outputs, plus one IP output. It delivers MPEG-2 and H.264 video at bit rates of 2.5 to 55 Mbps. The system supports 4:2:0 (8 bit) and 4:2:2 (10 bit). Ten bit conversion results in richer color spaces and super crisp video. Audio support includes Dolby® Digital® (AC-3), MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC-LC, and HE-AAC. The Satria is Magnum chip based. Magnum Semiconductor created one of the world’s best quality encoder chips, according to many.
