Technical Overview
BLANKOM IRD-7000 receives RF, ASI and TS-over-IP services for professional UHD/HD/SD decoding and transport-stream processing. The platform supports HEVC/H.265, AVC/H.264 and MPEG-2. HDMI 2.0 carries the specified 4K50/60 formats; the required 12G-SDI or quad-3G-SDI output configuration must be selected for the production chain.
The technical table specifies two independent RJ45 TS/IP data interfaces and a separate equipment-management interface. IP operating points include up to 800 Mbps for 16 SPTS/MPTS outputs and 200 Mbps for a single-input/single-output full-duplex mode. These are different operating conditions, not additive capacities. The selected service formats and network mode determine the usable configuration.
Dual CI slots, BISS-1/BISS-E, PSI/SI processing and remultiplexing support headend integration. Input redundancy can select between tuner, ASI and TS/IP on transport-stream synchronisation loss with configured priorities. Web/SNMP/HDMS and front-panel controls support operation; specify the required tuner, SDI arrangement, audio routing and optional functions in the order.
Typical Applications
UHD broadcast contribution and production
Receive a compatible HEVC/H.264 service and decode it to the required 4K production interface. Match HDMI 2.0, 12G-SDI or quad-3G-SDI configuration, resolution, frame rate and audio handling to the downstream system.
Hybrid headend reception and redistribution
Process selected RF, ASI or IP services using conditional access, remultiplexing and PSI/SI editing. Deliver the configured transport streams to ASI/IP equipment while maintaining a decoded monitoring output.
Source backup and operational monitoring
Configure main and spare inputs across tuner, ASI and TS/IP as supported. Synchronisation-loss switching, input priorities and the expected recovery behaviour should be tested with the actual sources.

Engineering FAQ
What is the main role of IRD-7000?
It is a professional receiver/decoder and transport-stream processor for UHD/HD/SD workflows. Source codec and required physical output configuration must be selected together.
Which video compression formats are specified?
The technical table lists MPEG-2, AVC/H.264 and HEVC/H.265 profiles. A source must match the specified profile, level, resolution and frame rate.
Which 4K HDMI formats are listed?
HDMI 2.0 specifies 4Kp50 and 4Kp60 among its output formats. The connected display or production equipment must accept the chosen format.
How is an SDI output selected?
The product platform offers 12G-SDI or four 3G-SDI output arrangements. Specify the required hardware and mapping for the production system when ordering.
What IP capacities are listed?
The table lists 800 Mbps for 16 SPTS/MPTS outputs and 200 Mbps for single-channel full-duplex IP. Select the applicable operating mode rather than adding these capacities.
Is FEC available in every IP mode?
The table restricts SMPTE 2022 FEC to full-duplex operation, with 150 Mbps effective bitrate for input and output. It must not be assumed at every stated IP capacity.
How are conditional-access feeds processed?
Two CI slots and BISS-1/BISS-E are specified. Compatible CAMs, entitlement and the correct service configuration remain necessary.
Are four ASI connectors four independent streams?
The table describes two independent ASI output streams on two pairs of BNC connectors. The connector pairs do not represent four independent output multiplexes.
How does input backup operate?
Redundancy is specified among tuner, ASI input and TS/IP input, using transport-stream synchronisation loss and main/spare settings. Commission the priorities against the actual source behaviour.
How is the unit managed?
A separate management interface supports Web, SNMP 2.0 and HDMS. Local LCD/keypad controls and the listed network/Web/USB update methods are available.
