Sencore Introduces New AG 2700 Receiver, Compatible with ATSC 1.0 and 3.0 Standards

Sencore, a renowned technology company, has recently unveiled its latest product, the AG 2700 ATSC RF receiver

This advanced device is designed to convert ATSC signals into ASI and IP formats, aiding in the retransmission process for various broadcast entities and Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs).

Dual Standard Support and Future-Proofing A key feature of the AG 2700 is its compatibility with both the current ATSC 1.0 and the upcoming ATSC 3.0 standards. Through a forthcoming software and license update, the device will support both standards, providing a sustainable solution for retransmission reception infrastructure. This adaptability ensures that users remain in line with the evolving broadcasting industry standards.

Integration and Density The device can be seamlessly integrated into a 2RU openGear frame or the CRD 4900 frame developed by Sencore. Each frame can house up to 10 receivers, making it highly efficient for capturing all broadcast channels in most geographical markets.

User Interface and Integration The AG 2700 comes equipped with comprehensive control and monitoring interfaces, including full SNMP, syslog interface, and an HTTP-based API. This ensures effortless integration with existing multichannel systems. Additionally, it features a user-friendly web interface, offering ease of use for operators, especially those already familiar with Sencore’s products.

Features of ATSC 1.0 Turn-Around

  • Transmission and Distribution: It can transmit the content via ASI and/or IP and distribute it for retransmission purposes across various platforms such as cable, IPTV, and direct-to-home satellite services.

Upcoming ATSC 3.0 Turn-Around Capabilities

  • Future Software Update: The AG 2700 will soon have the ability to handle ATSC 3.0 signals following a software and license update.
  • Enhanced Transmission: Like its ATSC 1.0 capabilities, the device will receive and demodulate ATSC 3.0 RF signals, transmitting the content over IP. It will be suitable for transcoding workflows and retransmission on existing systems.
