Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
IVP-3000 is a broadcasting level multimedia processing platform. It adopts 1RU and a modular
design with 6 slots in it. By installing different modules, it could realize the following various
applications: satellite signals receiving, H.264/MPEG-2 HD/SD video encoding and decoding,
CA or BISS descrambling, real-time transmission stream monitoring, program multiplexing,
channel backup, etc.
The IVP platform is based on CPCI architecture with power redundancy design and hot swapping
functions. If one function module is out of order, the users only need to replace the corresponding
function cards, the whole process no need to cut off the power, and other function modules will
not be affected.
The IVP-3000 Series Multi-channel HD/SD Encoder is based on IVP platform, adopting H.264
HD encoding module, H.264/MPEG-2 SD encoding module, ASI I/O module and IP I/O module,
to achieve a multi-channel HD encoder with high flexibility, high density, high performance, high
scalability and high reliability.
The following is a summary of the features of IVP-3000 Series Multi-channel HD/SD Encoder:
（1） High Level Performance
Support H.264/MPEG-2 HD/SD encoding
Support H.264 4:2:2 / 4:2:0 chroma encoding
Support ASI redundant output
Support IP redundant output to different target IP address
Support 2 encoding latency mode:
Standard latency: 730ms
Low latency: 120ms
（2） High Density
Up to 5 channel HD encoding
Up to 10 channel SD encoding

Introduction
HD encoder support 4 channel stereo audio encoding
（3） High Scalability
Modular design with various modules, it could be configured with different module
based on needs
Upgrade through simply adding or replacing with new module to save the upgrading
cost
1.2 Front Panel
The front panel of the unit consists of a power, an USB Port, an Ethernet Control port, a main
OLED display screen, four Indicator Lights and six touch buttons.

1.3 Rear Panel
According to the power type of IVP-3000, the rear panel of IVP-3000 includes 2 types:
1) Chassis-R-H (Hot-Swap Redundancy Power)
Figure 1.2 Chassis-R-H Rear Panel
The Chassis-R-H rear panel consists of six slots (U1, U2, U3, L1, L2 and L3), 2 hot-plug power.
You can insert different modules according to user needs.
2) Chassis-R (Internal Dual Redundancy Power)

The Chassis-R rear panel of the unit consists of six slots (U1, U2, U3, L1, L2 and L3), Power
Interface, Power Switch and Fan.
You can insert different modules according to user needs.
Note: Keep the vent clear to ensure the rejection of heat.

Installing the Equipment
Chapter 2 Installing the Equipment
2.1 Read This First!
This Reference Guide is written for operators / users of the IVP-3000. It describes the unit’s
functions and operation. The Reference Guide is written to assist in the installation and
day-to-day operation and care of the unit. Maintenance information requiring the covers to be
removed is not included.
2.2 Mounting and Ventilation
2.2.1 Fixing and Rack Mounting
The equipment is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing brackets suitable
for a standard 19-inch rack. When installed in a rack, it should be secured using the fixing
brackets. In addition, support shelves must be used to reduce the weight on the brackets. Ensure it
is firmly and safely located and it has an adequate free-flow of air.
Slide the unit onto the chassis supports and affix to the rack by means of an M6 x 18 mm panhead
screw in each corner.
A freestanding unit should be installed on a secure horizontal surface where it is unlikely to be
knocked or its connectors and leads disturbed.
2.2.2 Ventilation
Side openings in the unit, as well as rear-mounted cooling fans, are provided for ventilation. They
ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from overheating. The openings of the fans
must not be blocked or covered.
