The mediaHUB-Pro 02 is a real-time Contribution­quality MPEG 2 Standard and High Definition
encoder. It is designed to support the most demand­ing Contribution, ATSC, DVB and IPTV MPEG 2
Distribution applications; the Studio version of the
mediaHUB-Pro 02 encodes Cable Labs VOD and DPI
compliant MPEG 2 Transport Streams. The Pro’s
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
MPEG 1 Layer 2 audio including support for Dolby E
and Dolby 5.1 passthrough. Optional dual stream Dolby Digital AC3 encode can be added with a simple software
key either at the factory or in the field. Standard Adtec transport interfaces include three ASI copper outputs with
included support for transport over GIGE. Audio inputs include AES3 Digital Audio, SDI and Analog audio. BISS 1
and BISS E encryption is an option that can be field activated with a simple software key, no hardware required.
The Pro’s user interfaces include a comprehensive easy-to-use front panel interface, on-board Web application
server for configuration and monitoring plus SNMP 2.0C MIBS. Unique features of the Studio version include a
built-in confidence decoder with HD/SD-SDI, HDMI and D1 outputs.

Benefits

• MPEG 2 SD Contribution Quality Encoding:
Support for MPEG 2 SD 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 Contribution,
distribution and Studio encoding quality with
mediaHUB-Pro 02 and mediaHUB-Pro 02-S.

• MPEG 2 HD Contribution Quality Encoding:
Optional upgrade to MPEG 2 HD 4:2:0 encoding with
a simple field upgrade, no hardware exchange
required.

• SDI Plug and Encode: Automatic SDI detection (HD
and SD) of standards and frame rates. (HD required
HD feature key)

• High and Standard Definition Video: One box ­both formats. (HD requires the purchase of
MEDIAHUB-PRO-HD-KEY, factory or field upgrade)

• High Performance Audio Encoding and
Passthrough: Encode two stereo pairs of MPEG 1
Layer 2 audio, passthrough Dolby E, or Dolby Digital

5.1 with optional dual stream Dolby Digital AC3 audio
encoding.

• Easy to Use: Rapidly and accurately configure
mediaHUB-HD Pro via the front panel, on-board web
application server or SNMP.

• Highest quality MPEG 2 HD and SD: When it
comes to the best on-air look, mediaHUB-HD Pro
delivers with excellent quality Standard and High
Definition video encoding. (HD requires purchase of
MEDIAHUB-PRO-HD-KEY, factory or field upgrade)

• Monitor: Web Browser, front panel LED and LCD
visual alarms, SNMP traps and event logging are all
standard.

mediaHUB-Pro 02-S added Features

• Create VOD and DPI-ready Files: Create Cable
Labs compliant Transport streams for use with VOD
and DPI.

• Control with Accuracy: mediaHUB-HD Pro can
control VTR sources or be controlled by a non linear
editor (NLE) via RS-422 for frame accurate mark
in/out encoding. (Studio version only)

• Hard Drive Capture: Frame accurately capture
encodes for VOD and DPI applications.

• Decode While Encode (DWE): Built-in confidence
decoder nearly eliminates the need for external local
decoders.
