SEL-1DEC1
MPEG-2/H.264 Universal Decoder
The Selenio SEL-1DEC1 module is a full-featured multiformat video decoder that handles both H.264 and MPEG-2 video streams and their commonly associated audio and metadata streams. The decoder is built with the latest silicon architectures and provides a high level of compatibility with the Selenio SEL-1ENC1 encoder module and other industry encoders.
The Selenio decoder supports the decoding of a single video signal from a variety of sources — using either the MPEG-2 or H.264 standards — and supports up to eight audio streams, as well as the processing of any supporting data insertion via VBI or VANC.
The flexibility of the Selenio decoder makes it ideal for production and distribution applications. Coupled with other modules in the Selenio series, this multifunction decoder works to address applications such as multiformat satellite decoding, confidence monitoring and much more.

Product Details
The Selenio decoder module provides the flexibility of decoding multiple standards of video from standard-definition (SD) and low-resolution formats through to 3 Gb/s and other high-definition (HD) formats. It also supports all the latest audio standards to provide a single-card solution for every need without resorting to a variety of card types.
Up to eight channels of MPEG-1 Layer 2, Dolby® AC-3, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, Dolby® E or SMPTE 302 (uncompressed) audio can be supported. Audio outputs are provided as unbalanced AES or embedded audio.
In addition, VANC and VBI data are re-inserted back into the video signal.
Front Module Connectivity
The SEL-1DEC1 decoder application module is interconnected with the two controller modules for SDI/ASI, 100Base-T for control and monitoring and 1000Base-T for data applications. The primary and backup reference signals are distributed as well.
Back Module Connectivity
The SEL-1DEC1 decoder application module offers two choices for back module external connectivity ― one with HD-BNC electrical connections for input and output, and one with two dual SFP optical outputs. Both back modules provide AES-3 connections by utilizing HD-BNC connectors and a GPI/serial port connector.
SDI and ASI interfaces utilize a Belden-type 1505A, 1694A or 1695A cable with HD-BNC connectors, and AES-3 interfaces utilize a Belden-type 1855 cable with HD-BNC connectors. A cable removal tool is provided for these types of HD-BNC connections. For optical output connectivity, an SFP transmitter can be added to the appropriate back module.
