The Motorola SE-1010 digital video encoder provides Motorola’s fifth generation video  compression technology in a compact chassis that is ideally suited for the cable headend and small broadcast applications. The SE-1010 digital encoder accepts either analog composite or digital CCIR-601 video. Video compression uses I-frame refresh to facilitate seamless MPEG-2 stream splicing. The video compression data rate is controlled by a simple front panel interface or through the Ethernet port via SNMP. Two stereo audio channels are  compressed with either Dolby® brand AC-3® or MPEG layer II encoding. The Motorola SE-1010 provides three types of outputs, DVB-ASI, digital headend expansion interface (DHEI) and DS-3, for easy interoperability with cable headends and broadcast equipment.

The Motorola SE-1010 is MPEG-2 and DVB compliant.
