Hong Kong-based Television Broadcasts (TVB) has upgraded its J2 channel SD encoders to Thomson ViBE EM2000s to enhance picture quality.

Broadcasting around-the-clock to youth audiences in Hong Kong, the TVB J2 channel is transmitted with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding using the Thomson ViBE EM2000s for the main channel, together with a backup and lab rig.

TVB was Hong Kong's first free-to-air broadcaster and operates five digital terrestrial channels in the territory. Ideal System, Thomson's local distributor, installed the ViBE EM2000s.
