H3000 series / H3100 series : Ultra Small, High Quality New Generation HDTV Encoder and Decoder

Key features

  • Support for both HDTV (1080i/720p) and SDTV (576i/512i/480i)
  • Audio: Max. 2 systems with a total of 8 channels
  • Full-rack size H3100 is suitable for rack mounting with redundant power supply.
  • Half-rack size H3000 provides excellent portability.
    Supports DC12V operation for installation on OB vans, helicopters, and motorcycles. A perfect match for HD-ENG.
  • SDTV companion model, SCE3000
Newly developed "VASA", MPEG-2 HDTV Single Chip Codec LSI Newly developed "VASA", MPEG-2 HDTV Single Chip Codec LSI

The world’s first single chip contributes H3000/H3100 to be the world’s smallest and the lowest power consumption codec system. High quality video is provided by newly developed codec algorithm.

Light Weight, Small body expands portability: H3000 series Light Weight, Small body expands portability: H3000 series
