AVP 3000

voyager

The AVP 3000 Voyager is Ericsson’s sixth generation DSNG product and is the most flexible and
scalable news gathering system on the market, reflecting Ericsson’s technology leadership and
unique heritage in this segment.

The AVP 3000 Voyager excels in providing maximum flexibility, performance and interoperability
while delivering the best return on investment to operators and service providers through the widest
range of software upgradeable paths and expansions options.

Based on in-house technology, the AVP 3000 Voyager is built upon a revolutionary modular chassis
in a space-saving 1RU form factor with up to six hot swappable option slots. It supports a
comprehensive range of processing options, including the multi-codec, multi-format CE-x Series
range of encoders. MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and JPEG 2000 are all supported. An integrated
satellite modulator offers high order DVB-S/S2/S2X modulation on both IF and L-Band outputs.

AVP 3000 Voyager features a fully functional front panel re-engineered bottom-up to meet the
demand of the mobile environment, including ease of operations, quick menu access and effective
monitoring. Overall it represents the most advanced DSNG unit on the market, offering broadcast-
ers, operators and service providers the level of integration, flexibility and scalability necessary to
future-proof any operational investment during today’s technology migration.
