Ericsson RX8330

Distribution Receiver
The Ericsson RX8330 Distribution Receiver extends the RX8300 series of Integrated Receiver Decoders by
providing feature-rich multi-format standard definition (SD) decoding capability with high quality SDI output
for video distribution applications. The RX8330 gives the user access to the latest compression and
transmission technologies to allow for the most cost-effective and bandwidth transmissions possible while
ensuring the highest standards of reliability and video quality.

The RX8330 offers both ASI and the latest DVB-S2 capable satellite input interfaces. As security of content
is always of paramount importance, compatibility with popular CA systems including DVB Common
Interface is provided. The RX8330 shows its true class through its capability for multi-format decoding of all
SD 4:2:0 video standards combined with high quality SDI digital video and analog video outputs. This
capability is further enhanced by the RX8330’s ability to receive, and down-convert HD video to SD
providing an SD output for broadcast or monitoring. Additionally for systems that stay in the compressed
domain, decrypted transport streams can be handed off into digital networks through a choice of both ASI or
optional IP output interfaces.

The feature-rich specification of the RX8330 provides the capability and flexibility that places the receiver as
the key link in the broadcast chain for applications from content distribution and turn-around to critical
network monitoring.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW BASE UNIT FEATURES

The Perfect Choice for a Large Network RX8330 – Distribution Receiver (RX8330/BAS, FAZ 101 0108/1)
