Product Review

The Cisco D9050 offers versatile input options, including HD-SDI with embedded audio, four AES audio channels, and support for a wide range of video and audio formats, making it suitable for diverse broadcasting environments. However, its output is limited to ASI, which may restrict integration with newer, IP-based infrastructure. The hardware supports both CBR and VBR for 1080i and 720p resolutions, ensuring compatibility with standard broadcast formats, but the reliance on SMPTE standards for jitter acceptance and return loss could pose challenges in high-jitter environments.

Overview

The Cisco D9050 Encoder represents a sophisticated piece of hardware designed for broadcast applications, offering a comprehensive suite of features for video and audio processing. This device stands out for its capacity to handle both HD and standard-definition inputs with efficiency and precision. The D9050 Encoder supports a wide range of input and output formats, making it a versatile solution for various broadcasting needs. For video, the D9050 accepts HD-SDI input compliant with SMPTE 292M standards, ensuring high-quality video feed capture. The video compression options include both 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, accommodating MPEG-2 CBR and statistical multiplexing for resolutions such as 720p and 1080i. This flexibility in handling different video formats and compression techniques allows for efficient bandwidth usage while maintaining high video quality. The audio capabilities of the D9050 are equally impressive, with support for up to four stereo pairs or eight mono channels. It can process a variety of audio formats, including Layer II, AC-3, and AAC, among others. The encoder also supports specialized audio processing for Dolby-E and Linear PCM tracks, ensuring broad compatibility with different audio standards. Inputs for audio can be analog, digital AES/EBU, or embedded, providing ample connectivity options for audio sources. Key hardware specifications include: - Input Level: 800 mVpp nominal for video, with a return loss of ≥ 15 dB across 5 to 1.4 GHz, ensuring signal integrity. - Impedance: The device features 75Ω unbalanced for video and 110Ω balanced for digital audio inputs, accommodating standard broadcast cabling requirements. - Connector Types: Video input utilizes BNC connectors, while audio inputs and outputs employ a 25-pin sub-D female connector, following the TASCAM DA-88 standard for audio. In terms of output, the D9050 delivers content via ASI, supporting both constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate (VBR) operations. This allows for flexible content delivery that can be adjusted according to network capacity and the required quality of service. The supported systems include 1080i at 29.97 Hz and 25 Hz, as well as 720p at 59.94 Hz and 50 Hz, covering the most commonly used formats in broadcast television. The audio section also features an analog audio impedance of 600Ω or > 20 KΩ balanced, with a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) greater than 50 dB at 1 kHz, ensuring high-quality audio signal processing. The clipping level for analog audio can be adjusted from -6 to +24 dBu in 0.5 dBu increments, providing precise control over audio levels. Digital audio return loss is greater than 15 dB from 0.1 to 6.0 MHz, with an input level range from 2 to 7 Vpp nominal, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of digital audio sources. The sample rate for digital audio includes 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz options, covering standard audio sampling rates for broadcast. In summary, the Cisco D9050 Encoder is engineered to meet the demands of modern broadcasting environments, offering advanced video and audio processing capabilities in a single, compact unit. Its support for a wide range of formats and standards, combined with precise control over encoding parameters, makes it a powerful tool for content creators and broadcasters aiming for high-quality output.
