  • End-of-Support Notification for Nielsen Audio Video Encoder – NAVE II

The NES9, or NAVE II, encoder supports VBI encoding in SMPTE 259 video, VANC encoding in both SMPTE 259 and SMPTE 292 and also expands upon Nielsen’s audio coding technology by increasing the watermarking capability to 12 AES channels or 16 embedded audio channels. Mixed mode embedded and non-embedded (AES) audio configurations are possible, and the unit can be configured to support up to two simultaneous Dolby 5.1 audio streams. A core part of the familiar “SID” data is carried in the audio to allow SID data to survive VBI-stripping by compression systems and new video formats.

The “SID” (Source Identifier) is a second-by-second serial number used by Nielsen and the television industry to uniquely identify program content to ensure proper crediting of viewing.

NAVE II is specifically designed for standard and high definition digital plants, with embedded or non-embedded (AES) audio. Possible locations include broadcast television stations (digital and analog), broadcast and cable network operation centers, other program uplink facilities, and other distribution sources delivered to television households. This unit is usually installed in the output chain, after all switching and routing is completed. The optional captioning software module, which supports EIA-608B VBI captioning in 259 and EIA-708B captioning in both 259 and 292 video, provides a very inexpensive way for users to add HD captioning. A companion Ross Video unit, the Nielsen Universal Reader, will decode and display the SID data to allow users to verify the encoded information.
