The RD6000 supports high-quality contribution video feeds and provides full MPEG-2, MPEG-4, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 8-bit, and 10-bit decoding in a single 1RU chassis.

Thomson Video Networks today announced the launch of the RD6000, a multi-format integrated receiver decoder (IRD) developed for a wide range of MPEG contribution applications. The RD6000 supports high-quality contribution video feeds for all satellite and telecom contribution networks, offering full MPEG-2, MPEG-4, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 8-bit, and 10-bit decoding in a single 1RU chassis.

At the 2013 NAB Show, Thomson Video Networks will showcase its advanced contribution, distribution, and Web TV/OTT solutions with the theme "Giving You the Edge." Solutions will be presented in five key demonstration areas: Premium Video Compression Quality; World-Class HEVC Multi-screen Offerings; High-Performance Contribution Solutions; ATSC and ISDB-T Terrestrial Solutions; and Capture and Playout Solutions.

The system is intended for MPEG contribution applications ranging from carriers providing circuits between regional studios and central playout facilities, to backhaul contribution circuits for occasional uses such as sports coverage, and to distribution from playout centers to broadcasting head-ends.

The video system is a fully integrated IP video solution for convergent applications.
