Increased Distribution Capacity and Efficiency

The RX1290 multi-format professional receiver, in combination with the TANDBERG Television’s MPEG-4 AVC encoders, enables increased distribution capacity due to their bandwidth reduction capabilities and increased encoding/ decoding efficiencies. For satellite applications, the RX1290 can include a DVB-S2 demodulator, allowing an additional 30% increase in channel capacity.

The Industry’s most Versatile Decoder - a “Safe Choice” for the Future

The RX1290 decodes all major video formats in use today in both SD and HD resolutions, providing complete flexibility for daily operations. The professional decoder is a “safe choice” for companies that are beginning to transmit MPEG-4 AVC
and HD but continue to work in MPEG-2 and SD. With the RX1290 they can migrate at their own pace.

Simplified Control and Lower Cost of Operations

Organizations with large populations of RX1290 receivers or other TANDBERG Television receivers can simplify control by integrating with TANDBERG Television’s Director control system. Director provides remote, over-air, single-view control from a central location, reducing the need for on-site local operators.

Wide Range of Inputs and Outputs for Enhanced Connectivity

The RX1290 can be integrated into a variety of system architectures, including ASI, IP and RF delivery systems through a choice of input cards. The receiver offers a multitude of audio and video outputs for high quality delivery to all major onward networks.

Business Benefits :

• Broadcasters can now benefit from the improvement in compression standards to achieve up to 50% bandwidth saving on their contribution links
• The RX1290 in combination with the EN8090 enables a high bandwidth reduction on contribution and distribution signals for HDTV. With an integrated DVB-S2 demodulator, a further 30% bandwidth reduction can be achieved on the transponder
• The RX1290 can be enabled with the highly secure Director CA system for secure transmission of valuable content. In addition, Director offers remote over-air control
