ENERALINFORMATION
The CODICO E-1710/1720 Compact DSNG Encoders are a fully integrated
MPEG-2 4:2:2 encoder/modulator in a 1 RU high unit, thus, it is particularly
suitable for the fast-moving world of digital satellite news gathering (DSNG)
contribution applications.
The E-1710 features, within the compact 1U enclosure, an advanced
professional broadcast quality encoder and a software modifiable QPSK, 8PSK
16QAM modulator with embedded L-Band Monitoring. The E-1720 adds an L-
Band Up-Converter that provides broadcast quality L-Band signal.
The E-1710/1720 is a rugged, power efficient and user-friendly
encoder/modulator. It is fully compliant to both 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 DVB standards,
ensuring best picture quality at a competitive price in a compact unit. Figure 1-1
illustrates the
E-1710/1720.
E-1710 Compact DSNG Encoders – General View
For any type of SNG uplink system, the E-1710/1720 fits neatly into the rack,
occupying only 1U with no need to provide space for ventilation above or below.
The L-band Monitoring Output, provided by the E-1710/1720, enables “on the
spot” real-time monitoring of the modulated transmit information.
In addition, the E-1720 provides an up converter that outputs a Broadcast
quality L-Band signal. The E-1720 also provides an external/internal accurate
10Mhz clock and +24DC power for BUC devices.

1.1.1. Highlights and Benefits
The E-1710/1720 offers 10 bit coding at data rates of up to 52 Mbps while the
versatile on-board modulator can handle QPSK transmissions with 8-PSK or
16-QAM modes as an option. A variety of video resolutions are available as
standard, as is advanced DNR (Digital Noise Reduction).
The E-1710/1720 also offers a DVB-compliant Low-Delay mode in either 4:2:0
or 4:2:2 format. A special Ultra-Low mode is provided for the 4:2:2 format to
enhance two-way transmission for DSNG and live interviews.
Offering 70 MHz output and a Broadcast quality L-Band signal (E-1720 only).
The E-1710/1720 can be installed remote from the Up Converter/HPA package,
enabling cross-site distances in excess of 25 meters if required (dependent upon
cable type). The L-band Monitoring Output provides local monitoring of the
modulated output.
The Front Panel Operating Menu provided by the E-1710/1720 is specifically
tailored to SNG, with frequently used operation critical controls such as ‘carrier
on/off’ and ‘modulation on/off’ available via ‘hot-keys’ on the front panel four
way touch pad. This allows the operator to get up onto or off the satellite
rapidly. This feature, combined with the facility to store up to 10 pre-set
configurations, gives the E-1710/1720 unrivalled flexibility for the busy operator.
E-1710/1720 handles up to four full quality stereo audio channels (or up to 8
mono channels) as either analogue/SDI embedded/AES inputs, with a range of
sampling rates and coding rates of up to 384 Kbps.
The E-1710/1720 features fully compliant BISS (Basic Interoperability
Scrambling System) in either BISS Mode 1 or BISS-E to protect those all-
important transmissions using the industry security standard.
The E-1710 provides multi-channel encoder cascading. This standard facility
enables a single Master E-1710 Encoders and multiple E-1000 Professional
Encoders to be configured to offer a single-stream output containing multiple
programs. This offers an ideal solution for multi-channel systems and saves the
cost of a separate multiplexing device.
Following is a detailed list of the capabilities and benefits provided by the
CODICO E-1710/1720 Compact DSNG Encoders.

1.1.2.1. Single Path DSNG Uplink Application
Figure 1-2 shows a typical single path uplink, which could either be SNV or
Flyaway-based. The Up-converter could be a 1 or 2 RU high unit, while the HPA
could either be a 4/5 RU mount or outside ‘hub-mount’ unit.
When using the E-1720 L-Band DSNG Encoder, there is no need for an Up-
Converter. Furthermore, the E-1720 provides 10MHz reference clock and 24 Vdc
power supply for Broadcasting Up-Converters (BUC).

1.1.2.2. Cascading E-1710 Encoders
Cascading encoders provides a way to encode and multiplex many video feeds
without a multiplexer device.
Each encoder in the cascading chain receives the stream from the previous encoder
to its RS-422 input. The encoder multiplexes the received signal from the ASI input
with the encoded video and performs PCR re-stamping on it. The stream is
forwarded to the next encoder in the cascading chain.
Each encoder is able to cascade streams up to 20Mbps.
1.1.2.3. Input Encoding Capability
In addition to DSNG and Fly-Away capabilities, the CODICO E-1710/1720
Compact DSNG Encoders are ideally suited for fixed earth station applications. As
found in all E-1000 Series encoders, the E-1710/1720 provides high-quality
solutions for traditional applications that require the broadcast of a single channel
(SCPC) or multiple channels (MCPC), multiplexed and/or encrypted and scrambled.
