Flexibility with complete distribution control

Reduce energy costs and rack space with the multi-format decoder and descrambler ProView™ 8140 1-RU chassis. You can migrate from SD MPEG-2 to HD AVC with this flexible appliance by simply upgrading the firmware. The ProView 8100 IRD is perfect for a wide range of solutions, like basic monitoring up to end-point delivery in distribution networks.

Reduce space & energy costs

The 1-RU appliance allows you to launch new services quickly and cost-effectively thanks to the integration of DVB-S/S2/S2X demodulation and the ability to stream descrambled content over IP.

Receive broadcast-quality video

Control how you distribute your video with support for reception of broadcast-quality video over the internet. You’ll no longer have to depend on satellite and fiber transport.

Video distribution with ProView 8100

You can integrate the 1-RU ProView 8100 with any headend architecture and support a rich set of interfaces, including two independent RF ports, DVB-ASI and IP inputs and outputs, and 3G HD-SDI and HDMI outputs. 

The ProView 8100 supports the extraction of encapsulated video content as Multiprotocol Encapsulation (MPE) data for offline distribution — a particularly valuable feature for the distribution of syndicated content to network affiliates.
