Operations and Applications Typical Operations Contribution Applications: The Adtec mediaHUB-HD 422 supports a comprehensive array of video encoding profiles with BISS encryption. A highly-robust, single-channel per carrier (SCPC) DVB compliant MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 Transport Stream is output via ASI and GIGE concurrently. For multiplexing many services or channels per carrier (MCPC), Adtec's DTA-3050 is the perfect companion product.

Encoding Frequently Asked Questions Scenario Information What is the max mux rate with audio? 100,000,000 What is Video Auto Fill (VAF)? Video Auto Fill is an Adtec feature to reduce the amount of null packets in the Transport stream by automatically setting the Video Bitrate. The bitrate is automatically configured by the mediaHUB-HD based upon the Transport Mux Rate and the Audio rates (Transport Mux Rate - Audio Rate - minimal fill = Video Rate).
Studio Encoding via Adtec API Commands To capture a file with a specific duration, you will need set the following API(s): • Capture File Name: Enter an absolute file name. ♦ Example: * CFN /media/hd0/media/TESTFILE.mpg • Trans Mux Rate: For the file to capture to drive, the TMR must be lower than 40Mbps ♦ Example: * TMR 39000000 • Record Time: Set this value to 0. This keeps constant capture from breaking up your file into smaller segments.
Manual Upgrade Procedures You can upgrade your Adtec device's firmware via built-in web-based application, described in the Upgrade Tab section, or via a Telnet/FTP session, described in this article. To update your device's firmware via a Telnet session, perform the following: Step Action 1 Obtain the desired firmware version file from adtecftp.com 2 Using any FTP client upload the firmware file to the device 3 Open a Telnet session and enter the IP address of the unit you are going to update.
EIA-608/708 Captions The new line of Adtec encoders (mediaHub HD Pro, mediaHub HD 422, and edje 5100) supports EIA-608 Captions in standard definition mode and EIA-708 Captions in high definition mode. The 708 captions must be carried as SMPTE-334M payloads with a DID of 0x61 and an SDID of 0x01. The 608 to 708 conversion is especially useful in ATSC Terrestrial Applications. In standard definition mode, the encoder automatically looks for 608 captions on line 21 when captions (CLC) are set to ATSC.
