The new generation is based on more than 15 years of Tadiran Scopus experience in Digital Video Compression and has been developed to provide a wide range of products to meet the requirements of the TV broadcasting community. The CODICOr third generation includes six major product families: the E-1000 encoders, the RTM-3600 multiplexers, the IRD-2500 Integrated Receiver Decoder, the NMS-4000, the CAS 5000 and the IP over a DVB platform.

Another major change was made in the CODICOr IRD, Integrated Receiver Decoder, product family when three new types of IRDs were introduced: the commercial IRD-2500, the professional IRD-2510 and the custom made IRD-2520. The IRD-2500 product series has various receiving front ends for satellite, cable and telecom reception. In the multiplexing field, Tadiran Scopus is presenting the CODICOr RTM-3600, Statistical Muliplexer Remultiplexer. The new multiplexer provides cost-effective multiplexing and efficient re-multiplexing processing capability. A statistical multiplexing mode is provided for channel bit-rate optimization.
