Ericsson EN8092

High Definition MPEG-4 AVC Encoder

Ericsson leads the market in deploying MPEG-4 AVC HD encoders. The EN8092 is our second generation MPEG-4
AVC HD encoder and uses Ericsson’s second generation Intelligent Compression Engine technology featuring
Clarus™ video pre-processing, with enhanced noise reduction, artifact removal and improved filtering. It redefines the
economics of HD transmission and provides major improvements in picture quality, offering crisp, vibrant video at
extremely low bit-rates. New image-enhancing techniques such as single-slice video processing architecture,
multi-pass analysis and forward-looking encoding also improve efficiencies and reduce bandwidth usage. Combined
with Ericsson’s Reflex™ Statistical Multiplexing, the EN8092 can achieve efficiency improvements of 50 percent over
previous generations of MPEG-4 AVC HD.

The EN8092 provides the highest quality HD encoding, letting you see the emotions, the dynamism and vibrancy of
colors and feel as if you were a part of the action. The EN8092 uses a comprehensive toolset of performance
boosting advanced compression video processing features and increased processing power. This new generation of
HD encoding delivers more HD video and audio channels in the available bandwidth, enabling the launch of additional
HD services in an existing network.
