Sweden’s Media Netwerk uses T-VIPS to distribute ice hockey games
Jul 27, 2007 12:00 PM
Media Netwerk, a Scandinavian broadcast solutions provider, is replacing its legacy MPEG-2 system with a JPEG2000 solution from T-VIPS AS, a Norwegian technology company, to enable the distribution of high-quality SH/HD video over cost-effective GigE links for its Swedish ice hockey coverage.
The company will install the T-VIPS TVG415 and TVG430 JPEG2000 gateways and the Connect management system at 12 ice hockey arenas in Sweden in time for the start of the 2007-08 season. This equipment will be used to distribute coverage of the games live to TV networks and also to screens inside the ice hockey arenas.
Operating at a 10-bit video resolution, JPEG2000 offers many advantages over traditional MPEG-2-based contribution to the broadcast market, including the elimination of defects by encoding each frame individually. This ensures that errors are not spread through a group of pictures, as can be the case in MPEG encoding schemes.
Media Netwerk was one of the first solutions providers to migrate from traditional transmission methods to IPTV.
