DTV Innovations Gryphon PVE-3 Contribution Video Encoder

The DTV Innovations Gryphon PVE-3, also known as the IDC TITAN 3, is a professional low-latency contribution video encoder designed for outside broadcasting, satellite news gathering, sports contribution and video distribution. It supports MPEG-2 and optional MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoding with selectable latency as low as 150 ms.

Gryphon PVE-3 accepts analog composite, SD-SDI and HD-SDI video inputs and provides dual DVB-ASI and Gigabit Ethernet transport-stream outputs. Available video options include HD encoding, 4:2:2 chroma sampling and 10-bit compression, while its intuitive front-panel controls and embedded web interface enable contribution-link setup in less than 60 seconds.

Its software-license-based architecture allows broadcasters to add advanced capabilities as requirements evolve. Available options include AAC audio encoding, additional audio channels, SMPTE 2022 FEC, an internal multiplexer, BISS encryption and a DVB-CID-compliant DVB-S/S2 satellite modulator.
