The RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver is the world’s bestselling Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD). Thanks to DVB-S2X and HEVC capabilities, the RX8200 is now also the most future-proof, offering the ultimate in compression efficiency. Combined, these two new technologies can benefit operators with up to 50% bandwidth efficiency gains, enabling significant reduction in operational costs or liberating precious bandwidth in order to launch new revenue-generating services.
Broadcasters need to deploy receivers for a wide variety of different tasks, under a diverse range of operational circumstances. The RX8200 is suitable for any possible IRD scenario imaginable. Capable of decoding a multitude of video formats, and offering total connectivity for all transmission mediums via a comprehensive and modular choice of options, MediaKind’s RX8200 integrated receiver decoder offers the ultimate in operational flexibility.
Each individual RX8200 unit can be easily configured and tailored to the user’s precise operational requirements. Operators can effectively build an Integrated Receiver Decoder with all the necessary requirements, and add IRD functionality as necessary. As such, the RX8200 offers the optimal balance between functionality and cost; a bespoke world-class solution without the additional expense of superfluous connectivity or functionality.
This is the first time we have attempted to decode 4:2:2 video and to ensure the successful delivery of such high value, live content, we naturally opted to extend our long-standing partnership with Avicom Engenharia and MediaKind. Through the acquisition of MediaKind’s RX8200 Advanced Modular Receivers earlier this year, we were able to seamlessly configure and tailor the units into our infrastructure by the time the Games began in late July. The implementation of this IRD provided the necessary functionality to meet our operational requirements andenabled the deliveryof a high-class broadcast of this prestigious sporting event.
The RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver is the world’s bestselling IRD. Now with DVB-S2X and HEVC upgradeability it is also the most future-proof.
Let’s build a better media universe. Together.
