Brief Description

The fully integrated and highly compact R&S®AVHE100 headend solution for encoding and multiplexing minimizes complexity for terrestrial and satellite DVB systems. The innovative R&S®CrossFlowIP technology enables optimum utilization of all system components for maximum availability. It provides significantly enhanced redundancy solutions compared with conventional systems.

The R&S®AVHE100 is a highly integrated, modular system that provides the entire functionality of a headend in an extremely compact size. It combines sophisticated developments from Rohde & Schwarz with state-of-theart IT technologies. R&S®AVHE100 functionality is largely software-based, with only a few, standardized hardware modules. The headend can therefore be flexibly configured for a wide range of applications. Signal flow within the headend is fully IP-based.

The headend has an intuitive, easy-to-use headend management system (HMS) that lets users control and monitor the entire workflow via a single GUI. A fully integrated broadcast video wall (BVW) is also available for the HMS. The R&S®AVHE100 takes a unique approach to headend architecture, combining best-in-class software modules with highly reliable and compact hardware solutions to provide the industry’s first all-IP broadcast headend.
