The Harmonic Electra 8000 encoder/transcoder supports MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-2.
Story:
Harmonic will feature the DiviCom Electra 8000 universal SD/HD encoder at IBC2009.
The DiviCom Electra 8000 encoding and transcoding platform supports MPEG-4 AVC H.264 and MPEG-2 codecs in SD and HD formats, up to full frame-rate 1080p 50/60.
Providing high-quality video in a dense and power-efficient form factor — four channels per rack unit and using 40 percent less power than the industry average — the Electra 8000 is designed to meet the needs of cable MSOs, satellite operators, telcos and broadcasters.
The company also will showcase the ProView 7000 integrated receiver stream-processing platform — a scalable video receiver, DVB descrambler, multiformat decoder and MPEG stream processor in a single rack unit.
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
