NEW at CABSAT 2013 -- RD6000 Contribution Receiver Decoder
The RD6000 is the latest generation of integrated receiver decoders in the RD series from Thomson Video Networks. Developed for MPEG contribution applications, the RD6000 supports today's highest quality contribution video feeds and provides full MPEG-2, MPEG-4, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 8-bit, and 10-bit decoding in a single 1-RU chassis. Thanks to its rich set of inputs and multiple audio decoding capacities, the RD6000 is a natural companion to the ViBE(TM) CP6000 encoder for satellite and telecom contribution systems.
ViBE(TM) CP6000 Contribution Platform
The ViBE(TM) CP6000 is a dedicated multi-format, high-performance platform for contribution of live video. With the product's modular implementation of the optimal MPEG-4 contribution codecs, an unprecedented eight HD channels per 1-RU chassis, and industry-leading compression performance, the ViBE CP6000 is a substantial advance for contribution applications. MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 codecs can be enabled as required with software licensing, and the high-density support simplifies infrastructure and saves energy costs.
ViBE(TM) EM Series Multi-Channel Encoders
The ViBE(TM) EM Series of MPEG-2/MPEG-4 AVC encoders represents the benchmark for HD or SD encoding, ideal for satellite, cable, and terrestrial broadcast applications; high-end IPTV operations; and other types of content aggregation.
The ViBE EM4000 multi-channel broadcast encoder leverages Thomson Video Networks' Mustang compression technology to deliver efficiency improvements of 15 percent or more when encoding in MPEG-4 AVC, freeing up bandwidth that can be used to broadcast an extra channel per multiplex or transponder. For SD encoding, the ViBE EM2000 encoders combine compression efficiency features and the latest preprocessing techniques to deliver clearer pictures with increased depth and clarity, giving customers a premium viewing experience. Both encoders tap the Dolby(R) Digital and AAC audio compression formats, and support up to eight stereo pairs of audio.
ViBE(TM) VS7000 Multi-Screen Video System
The ViBE(TM) VS7000 video system is a breakthrough "anything in, anything out" encoding/transcoding platform for Web TV, over-the-top services, IPTV, and cable delivery. The ViBE VS7000 video system combines Thomson's renowned next-generation compression platform for outstanding picture quality in an all-IP environment with live broadcast-quality encoding, innovative video preprocessing, and faster-than-real-time file transcoding.
