The mediaHUB-HD Pro is a real-time Contribution-quality MPEG 2 High Definition encoder. It is designed to support the
most demanding Contribution, ATSC, DVB and IPTV Distribution and Cable Labs compliant VOD and DPI studio encoding
requirements. The auto-detect HD/SD SDI video input eliminates the need for user resolution and frame rate configuration. It
boasts dual stream on-board audio encoding of Dolby Digital and MPEG 1 Layer 2 audio with Dolby E and Dolby 5.1
passthrough support. Standard Adtec features include three ASI outputs as well as a GIGE output, AES3 Digital Audio, SDI
and Analog audio inputs and BISS1/E encryption. User interfaces include an easy-to-use front panel interface and an on-board
Web application server for configuration and monitoring. Unique features include a built-in confidence decoder with HDSDI,
HDMI and D1 outputs and "Constant Capture" hard drive acquisition for studio, contribution and distribution applications.

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. Its 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 with full redundancy.
ATSC, DVB and MPEG 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 captured 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. * Possibly
known as MUSICAM.

* The mediaHUB-HD Pro's Decoder module only supports this display target for HDMI output. It does not actually decode
1080P60, but will scale and/or de-interlace its decoded video to produce 1080P60 for output on HDMI.
Note on VESA Resolutions: Rev. B Units do not support VESA resolutions due to loss of DVI connector. NTSC, PAL,
720P59, and 1080i59 are recommended resolutions. Composite and SDI are active during all display targets. HDMI is not
active at SD resolutions.
