Ericsson RX8305

Distribution Receiver
The Ericsson RX8305 Distribution Receiver is the perfect receive device for distribution of video services
throughout large networks. The RX8305 receiver provides the core capabilities that every broadcaster
needs by combining a DVB-S2 capable satellite input with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC SD 4:2:0 video
decoding. The unit can be equipped with ASI transport stream outputs, SDI digital video outputs as well as
standard CVBS analog video outputs.

The unit offers the most up-to-date feature set, providing maximum transmission efficiency through its multi-
format SD decoding capability and latest satellite modulation technology allowing broadcasters to take
advantage of the combined efficiency gains of DVB-S2 and MPEG-4 AVC.

The RX8305 Distribution Receiver allows easy remote management of the deployed receiver population,
either through convenient local front panel operation or an easy-to-use Web-based interface. For large
receiver populations deployed in remote or geographically diverse situations the RX8305, as with all other
Ericsson receivers, can be controlled through the Director by Ericsson over-air remote control platform -
providing centralized control, management and secure CA, dramatically reducing network complexity and
management costs.
