Grass Valley to introduce new MPEG-4 ViBE encoder, decoder
Aug 6, 2009 10:52 AM
The new ViBE EM3100 is an MPEG-4 4:2:2 encoder offers input switching redundancy.
At IBC2009 in Amsterdam Sept. 11-14, Grass Valley will introduce the ViBE EM3100 MPEG-4 4:2:2 encoder and ViBE iRD3100 MPEG-4 4:2:2 decoder.
The encoder and decoder are designed for fixed and mobile applications and are well suited for live broadcasts, such as sports. The ViBE EM3100 and iRD3100 contribution codecs are both housed in a compact 1 RU chassis, an advantage for installation in constrained areas, such as satellite or outside broadcast vans. The ViBE EM3100 also offers input switching redundancy.
Grass Valley has developed both with functionality tuned to live broadcasting, including low latency — in the range 350ms to 850ms — with a boot time of less than 15 seconds.
In the ever advancing world of media content delivery, MPEG over IP (MPEG/IP) has been gaining popularity for a number of reasons. MPEG/IP delivery offers lower costs, higher bandwidth, greater efficiency, and new application possibilities over the traditional methods, such as: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and RF networks. Along with the benefits, come a number of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is a mechanism to recover lost data in real-time. This paper will attempt to shed some light on the inner workings of the real-time data recovery mechanism: Pro-MPEG Code of Practice #3 Forward Error Correction (CoP#3 FEC). Read Now
