receivers
The Ericsson RX8300 series is a range of professional receivers that are a blend of
performance and cost effective design - optimized for specific functional applications.
Each RX8300 variant is designed to offer the core capability across the most
frequently required receiver applications.
By delivering receiver devices with the most up-to-date feature set, each dedicated to
specific applications, users can ensure that the device performs the necessary task
with distinction and can be purchased at a very competitive price.
The Ericsson RX8300 range of Distribution Receivers are perfectly optimized for
receiving and turning round content off air - capable of decoding video content and
descrambling transport streams for turn-around systems. This capability makes
the RX8300 range of Integrated Receiver Decoders the perfect receive devices for
distribution of video services throughout large networks.

A Receiver for Every Application
The RX8300 Distribution Receivers consist of 4
individual models each targeting a specific application.

RX8305
RX8305 provides the core capabilities of a single
service SD decoder. The RX8305 sets itself apart from
competing solutions by allowing distribution systems
to take advantage of the bandwidth and hence OPEX
reducing combination of MPEG-4 AVC SD compression
and DVB-S2 satellite modulation.
By additionally incorporating legacy DVB-S and MPEG-
2 decoding this Multi-Format SD decoder provides
flexible reception of a multiplex of satellite channels,
descramble and decode a single service and interface
into a local broadcast station through any of the unit’s
analog composite video, SDI digital video and ASI
transport stream interfaces.
RX8310
The RX8310 is purposely designed for Program
Distribution where one or more services are distributed
over satellite by a single content originator into multiple
receive locations. In this scenario the content originator
often requires control of the receivers at their remote
sites. The in-built Director by Ericsson over-air control
and security system meets this need perfectly.
The RX8310 offers capability to descramble single or
multiple services outputting the descrambled transport
stream into the local station either as ASI or IP. Using
the RX8310’s multi-format capability the receiver can
decode any 4:2:0 SD or HD MPEG-2 or MPEG-4
service to analog SD to interface into a legacy analog
tier or for local monitoring.

RX8330
The RX8330 Distribution Receiver sits at the top end
of the RX8300 portfolio of products offering the super-
set of features found in all RX8300 receivers. Through
a full complement of interfaces and open standards
CA - including BISS, the RX8330 receiver is targeted at
decode–recode applications.
The RX8330 offers full feature flexibility by combining
input type diversity through a four input DVB-S/S2
capable satellite input in combination with an ASI input.
Video decoding is catered for through MPEG-2 and 4
Multi-Format decoding for 4:2:0 video with HD down-
conversion capability. Finally, the RX8330 ensures
that it can interface into any video system with a full
complement of ASI and IP transport stream output
interfaces and analog composite and SDI digital video
connectivity.
RX8315
The RX8315 provides an effective route for content
acquisition for Cable and IPTV services. RX8315
receivers allow services to be acquired from different
satellites and satellite transponders to form a
customized bouquet of channels for delivery over the
Direct to Home platform to the end customer base.
By offering open standards DVB-Common Interface
multi-service descrambling capability in conjunction
with DVB-S/S2 and MPEG-2 and 4 Multi-Format
capability the RX8315 ensures that all services can be
reliably ingested into the DTH delivery platform.

RX8300 Receiver Advantages
Ericsson RX8300 Distribution Receivers provide signifi-
cant system architecture benefits to the user. Through a
combination of sophisticated functionality the RX8300
receivers offer a combination of low-cost control and
management solutions in conjunction with technol-
ogy to efficiently manage bandwidth on core network
infrastructure.
Director by Ericsson
Delivering professional broadcast video content over
satellite, cable and telco networks requires the highest
security to protect against theft and unauthorized
viewing.
Director by Ericsson offers an advanced software-
based system for Simulcrypt Conditional Access (CA)
that controls and authorizes individual and banks of
receivers across sites under maximum security. In the
contribution and distribution markets, where moving
content to cable or terrestrial headends involves
numerous receivers, Director allows targeting of
specific receivers for authorization to view encrypted
streams.
Director updates both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC
standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD)
receivers using over-the-air downloads of the latest
software code, without requiring site visits. This highly
flexible system enables fully customized control of the
entire receiver population allowing rapid deployment
of new CA entitlements or new revenue generating
services. Director manages and controls all Ericsson’s
market leading receivers designed for high-quality
contribution and distribution services. Built for mission-
critical, real-time SD and HD content delivery for point-
to-point and point-to-multipoint connections, Director’s
GUI enables a single system view of the entire receiver
population, allowing operators to make changes on the
fly to protect and secure their video content.

Single Service Filtering
In many situations the incoming stream contains a
multiplex consisting of a number video services but
only one service is actually required to be ingested as
a transport stream into the receiving network. Ericsson
RX8000 receivers have the capability to perform Single
Service Filtering to strip out the wanted service which
can then be output into the network over ASI or onto an
IP backbone saving significant bandwidth loading onto
that backbone infrastructure.

Lower Your Network Bandwidth Loading
RX8300 Distribution Receivers bring a step-change in service processing ability within an IRD package. Under the
umbrella of Service Plus, the RX8000 receivers have the capability to perform Single Service Filtering, Multi-Service
descrambling and splitting.
Multi-Service Filtering
Should multiple services be required to be ingested
into a network then one RX8000 receiver can used
to process these services - dramatically reducing the
unit count and inherent cost of a multi-box solution.
RX8000 receivers have the capability to select from
the incoming multiplex of services, pick off a required
subset, descramble those required and if desired split
the services into multiple IP streams and route each
individual service to a different port on an IP network
vastly simplifying management of network content.
