Technical Overview
The BLANKOM IRD-2000 family receives a DVB service and decodes one video programme to HDMI or CVBS for monitoring or redistribution. MPEG-2, AVC/H.264 and HEVC/H.265 HD/SD decoding are specified. The family combines a selected RF tuner with model-dependent transport-stream interfaces; the model number determines whether IP reception, ASI and AES/EBU are fitted.
IRD-2010 is the base configuration. IRD-2012 adds TSoIP reception, IRD-2020 provides ASI and AES/EBU, and IRD-2022 combines these interface choices. Choose the tuner version for satellite, cable/terrestrial or the required regional standard when ordering. Two CI slots and BISS-1/BISS-E support serve authorised conditional-access workflows with compatible modules and entitlement.
HDMI 1.4 and analogue CVBS support professional monitoring and existing video installations. The CVBS path provides SD output with HD downscaling. Use Web management or front-panel controls for configuration; SNMP 2.0 is listed for supervision. Redundant dual power is optional, so power requirements belong in the order configuration.
Typical Applications
Headend confidence monitoring
Receive a selected RF or model-supported IP/ASI service and decode it for HDMI or CVBS monitoring. Match the incoming codec, resolution and conditional-access requirements before commissioning.
Modern and existing display systems
Use HDMI for a compatible digital display or CVBS for an existing analogue video system. CVBS is an SD output and should not be treated as an HD distribution interface.
ASI and IP integration
Choose IRD-2020 for an ASI-based workflow or IRD-2022 when both ASI and TSoIP are needed. Route the transport stream and decoded monitoring output according to the selected model.

Engineering FAQ
How is the correct IRD-2000 model selected?
Choose the required RF tuner first, then select IP reception, ASI and AES/EBU using the model comparison. These interfaces are model-dependent.
Which models have TSoIP inputs?
IRD-2012 and IRD-2022 provide TSoIP reception. The technical table lists UDP/RTP, unicast/multicast and SPTS/MPTS over IP.
Which models provide ASI and AES/EBU?
IRD-2020 and IRD-2022 are the ASI/AES/EBU variants. Their ASI outputs and digital audio distinguish them from the base configurations.
Which video codecs can be decoded?
MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and HEVC/H.265 are listed for HD/SD decoding. The required profile, level and source format must match the technical specification.
Is this a multi-programme video decoder?
The technical table specifies one video decoding channel. The presence of several input services or two CI slots does not increase that decoding capacity.
Which decoded video interfaces are available?
HDMI 1.4 and CVBS are specified. For an SDI production interface, select a suitable IRD model with SDI output.
Can HD content be delivered through CVBS?
The CVBS output is standard-definition and supports downscaling from HD. Select the appropriate PAL/NTSC-related output format for the destination.
How are conditional-access feeds handled?
Two independent CI slots accept compatible CAMs, and BISS-1/BISS-E descrambling is listed. The required access rights and compatible modules must be supplied.
How is the receiver configured and supervised?
Front-panel controls and the built-in Web interface provide management. The technical table also lists SNMP 2.0 and firmware-upgrade interfaces.
Is redundant power standard?
Redundant dual power supply is an option. Include the required PSU configuration, tuner type and interface variant in the quotation request.
