Multi-functional, single platformWith more than 80 different cards, the Densité range can address the full breadth of video and audio interfacing requirements, as well as other key playout functions, using a single 3Gbps platform. By eliminating a requirement for different frames for core broadcast engineering tasks, costs are reduced and there is a substantial simplification of control, integration, and maintenance.

Densité range includes the following functions:

• Up/down/cross conversion with signal processing
• Upmixing, Downmixing, Dolby™ E/Dolby Digital encoding and decoding
• Automatic loudness control
• Embedding and de-embedding
• Multi-viewer
• Channel branding
• Integrated receiver/decoder
• Mini server
• Change-overs
• Routing
• Lip sync and macro-block detection
• Distribution amplifiers
• Fiber interfacing
• Sync pulse generation

Densité Range Features

• Cost-saving integration – A key characteristic of the Densité range is an unprecedented level of functionality on a single card. This reduces purchase and maintenance costs, and also simplifies integration and control.
• Advanced 5.1 audio processing – The most advanced 5.1 audio solutions by partnering its technology with that from leading audio specialists, including Dolby, Linear Acoustic, and Jünger Audio.
• Advanced fiber connectivity – The Densite range makes the use of fiber in a facility much simpler, less cumbersome, and less expensive. Our innovative, modular SFP approach allows all core functions, including DAs, embedders/de-embedders, frame syncs, and up/down converters to have direct fiber I/O, without the usual high cost associated with fiber.
• ‘Mix and match’ formats and functions – Densité modules can be housed in 3RU, 2RU and 1RU (1/2 rack width) frames. The modules are available in 2RU and 3RU sizes, and all 2RU cards can fit in the 3RU frame to minimise the number of frames required.
• High quality 3 Gbps processing – The Densité range includes a wide array of triple rate 3Gbps/HD/SD modules, including signal processors, channel branding processors, and multi-viewers.
• Stereoscopic 3D video processing – Ideal for Stereoscopic 3D production applications using camera beam splitter rigs, as well as playout of Stereoscopic 3D across 3Gbps/HD infrastructures.
• Energy and space efficiency – The latest generation of Densité module based products deliver more functionality, while requiring substantially less energy, cooling, and rack space. These ‘greener’ and quieter products also consume significantly less raw materials, and they create less electronic waste at the end of their lives.
• Advanced remote control - The Densité range offers unrivalled remote control and monitoring capabilities. The RCP-200 advanced remote control panel features a highly intuitive, touch screen graphical interface, which simplifies signal management and control in multi-user environments with complex signal paths.
