DVB and IPTV Receiver (IRD) with 4 Tuners | IRD-4000

BLANKOM IRD-4000

BLANKOM IRD-4000 is a professional IRD for broadcasters with four DVB-S/S2/S2X tuners (DVB-T/T2, DVB-C, ISDB-T, ATSC, DTMB optional), GigE IP, and ASI inputs.
It has 4 CAM slots and an embedded BISS decryption utility. HD/SD-SDI and CVBS outputs are supported.

The BLANKOM IRD-4000 is a well-designed 4-tuner integrated receiver decoder.

Depending on the selected tuner option, its four frontends support DVB-S/S2/S2x (DVB-C, DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T, ATSC, DTMB optional) and additionally ASI and IP Input sources.

After de-multiplexing and decryption with a maximum of 4 CI modules, the decoded content can be passed to digital interfaces ASI, IP.

Its various A/V outputs support HD/SD-SDI, CVBS, stereo audio for universal professional needs.

With the 4 independent CAM/CI slots, the IRD-4000 supports multiple channel (tuner, ASI or IP) descrambling and transparent signal output.

BISS-embedded decryption supported.

Operation by using the front panel LCD or the built-in comfortable web interface.
