The Drake HDE24 high-definition encoder module generates an MPEG2 or MPEG4 (H.264) video stream, with Dolby® AC3 or MPEG1 layer 2 audio. This module is designed to be installed into Drake's EH24 or MEQ1000-style chassis which provides control and output interface to unit. This configuration of encoder module and host chassis provides ultimate in bandwidth management and economy by allowing multiple HD and SD streams to be multiplexed together dependent upon limitations of bandwidth of chosen output QAM and/or ASI (see EH24 and MEQ1000 manuals for more information on multiplexing). The HDE24 high-definition encoder accepts non-encrypted HDMI or component video inputs and can inject closed-captioning data from a synchronized composite video source (typically provided by same decoder that produces the HD video stream). Composite analog audio inputs provide audio source when component video inputs are used. Typically HDMI has embedded audio but if HDMI is derived from a source converter that does not provide audio, such as DVI-to-HDMI, then analog composite inputs may be used.
