New Electra(R) 9200 Encoder
The Electra(R) 9200 encoder is the world's first multicodec, multiformat video encoder for broadcast, satellite, telco, and cable operators that simultaneously supports broadcast, mobile, and Web formats in a 1-RU chassis. This integrated broadcast and multiscreen compression platform continues Electra's leadership in video quality and multifunction collapse to provide a flexible, open, and scalable architecture that integrates easily with existing broadcast infrastructure and enables new multiscreen services, while lowering capital and operating expenses.
The Electra 9200 encoder delivers HD and SD video services using Harmonic's proven MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and MPEG-2 compression algorithms. The encoding platform supports both baseband and IP workflows, and it combines the company's market-leading broadcast capabilities with the ability to support emerging multiscreen applications. Providing up to four audio/video processing modules per chassis, the Electra 9200 maximizes bandwidth efficiency and channel density. Each module supports flexible combinations of up to four SD/HD inputs, with up to eight broadcast output profiles and 32 multiscreen aligned output profiles.
