Solution Building Blocks
Scopus encoders ensure superb video quality at low bit rates utilizing efficient bit-rate optimization and buffering control. They feature simultaneous format encoding, powerful multiplexing and low foot print / density.
Scopus decoders are the most widely sold professional receiver decoders in the world. They provide a rich variety of network interfaces and video and audio output options, decrypt multiple channels, decode multiple formats and features advance processing i.e. re-multiplexing, streaming and trans-modulation.
The powerful Intelligent Video Gateway (IVG) platform provides advanced processing capabilities to support network operators direct to home and digital turn around requirements such as statistical re-multiplexing, rate shaping, splicing, scrambling and conditional access interfacing.
The easy-to-use Scopus Eldorado Network Management System (NMS) manages, monitors and controls digital video networking systems.
Distributed client- server architecture provides remote and local control of systems,services and devices. Scopus provides supporting software applications for digital video networking, including CAS integration, PSI/SI generation and more.
