Thomson Video Networks at Convergence India 2016
In booth C36, Thomson Video Networks will highlight its Behind Every Screen® approach, combining on-premises and cloud-based resources to create an all-encompassing video infrastructure for ingest/playout, branding, ad insertion, encoding/transcoding, and packaging technologies. This approach enables media companies to deliver broadcast-grade, highly reliable, and future-proof multi-screen delivery solutions that can offer superior picture quality at the highest density and lowest bandwidth.
Live, File-Based, and Contribution Solutions for Ultra HD
Thomson Video Networks will feature its ViBE® 4K encoding solution for Ultra HD (UHD) broadcasting, which enables media enterprises to leverage high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) to provide an optimal video experience to consumers through live compression of UHD sources at up to 60 frames per second (FPS) and in 10-bit color. Housed in a 1-RU chassis, this latest addition to the company’s robust portfolio of UHD solutions offers the industry’s most compact live 4K encoder.
Best-of-Breed Channel Origination and Ad Insertion
Thomson Video Networks’ FUZE-1 Playout System is a completely new paradigm that integrates the traditional playout functions of a channel in a box (CiaB) with premium-quality encoding and transcoding for broadcast and OTT delivery. Ideal for applications such as ad insertion, branding, disaster recovery, and EAS insertion, FUZE-1 provides a rich playout infrastructure together with the ability to process audio and video either directly in the compressed domain or by going back to baseband and re-encoding.
Premium Video Encoding
Thomson Video Networks will showcase its ViBE® EM4000 HD/SD encoder working in tandem with the company’s MD9000 modular, integrated receiver/decoder solution. Now featuring an exclusive broadcast-grade SD-to-HD conversion capability, the ViBE EM4000 is the first premium encoder to offer a density of eight HD MPEG-4 AVC channels in a 1-RU chassis.
HEVC Statmux and Virtualization
Thomson Video Networks will demonstrate the award-winning ViBE® VS7000 multi-screen and HEVC 4K encoder working with the RD40000 distribution receiver/decoder. The ViBE VS7000 video system features outstanding picture quality in an all-IP environment, with live broadcast-quality encoding, innovative video preprocessing, and faster-than-real-time file transcoding. Working in virtualized mode, the ViBE VS7000 delivers all of the economic benefits of the cloud while ensuring the broadcast-grade performance required by today’s media environments.
High-Density Transcoding
Designed for OTT, cable, and telco applications, Thomson Video Networks’ ViBE® XT1000 Xtream transcoder enables customers to launch new turnaround services rapidly and cost-effectively. The ViBE XT1000 supports up to 54 HD channels or 180 SD channels with transcoding from any format to any format, including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/AVC, making it ideal for linear broadcasts on cable, IPTV, DTH, and DTTV services, as well as multi-screen delivery.
