Hinduja Group’s headend in the sky (HITS) platform NXT Digital will use Thomson Video Networks’ compression technology.
Thomson Video Networks has provided a wide range of equipment and solutions for the broadcast centre and master headend platform, including its Vibe SD and HD broadcast encoders and its multiplexing and network management system.
"We designed our HITS system to deliver best-in-class picture quality with a robust architecture and the highest level of uptime. To make that design a reality, we needed a world-class digital delivery platform to reach the network operators across India from a centralised location, and Thomson met our requirements," said Grant Investrade managing director Tony D'Silva.
"NXT Digital is here to help the distribution community in analog markets make a smooth and timely transition to digital, and we are hopeful it will help write what could perhaps be the biggest chapter in the 'Made in India' story," he added.
"Thomson Video Networks' compression technology with advanced statmux features will give us pristine broadcast picture quality at lower bandwidth consumption. The solution is flexible and future-proof, and Thomson Video Networks has a strong local presence, which is an important requirement of the project," said Castle Media executive director Vynsley Fernandes.
NXT Digital is scheduled to roll out pan-India services in 2015, and tests of various components of the business are underway.
