Thomson Video Networks (Hall
14.A10) will be demonstrating its
4K playout system powered by
the ViBE VS7000 HEVC encoder
and the Sapphire MPEG stream
server.
This system has already been
deployed by, for instance,
Hispasat and Eutelsat for some of
their 4K demo channels.
It provides ‘a rich UHDTV picture
at up to 60 frames per second
(FPS) in 10-bit colour’, along
with watermarking based HEVC
UHD content protection as
mandated by the MovieLabs
consortium.
The 7000 is the basis of all-
encompassing video delivery
infrastructure that mixes on-
premises and cloud-based
resources to support traditional
live broadcasts over cable, DTH,
and DTTV as well as IPTV and OTT
on multiple devices.
Designed for traditional as well
as new-media broadcasters and
pay-TV operators, it provides
encoding of both high-value
content as well as high-density
compression of long-tail content.
Delivering both premium and
high-density multi-channel
content in a single architecture
combining cloud, virtual, and in-
house resources.
Thomson will also demonstrate
OTT delivery of improved HEVC
video quality in live operation
with MPEG-Dash and HbbTV.
Thomson Video Networks’ ViBE
CP6000 contribution platform
now offers ‘ground-to-cloud as
well as ground-to-ground video
delivery’, for up to eight SD/HD
4:2:2, 10 bit channels.
By integrating the Zixi stream
protection algorithm to ensure
the highest quality of service for
broadcast-quality video transport
over unmanaged networks
including the open internet, Zixi
provides a quality of service
(QoS) layer designed for video
delivery over unmanaged IP
networks.
It copes with internet network
impairments, packet loss, and
jitter to offer broadcast-quality
video delivery at an affordable
cost.
Also on show will be the vendor’s
DVB-T2 solutions for terrestrial
networks.
The main driver behind increased
channel capacity in by definition
bandwidth constrained terrestrial
broadcast networks is still
MPEG-4 AVC, but at the show
Thomson will also demonstrate
HEVC or H.265 compression over
DVB-T2.
Core of the platform consists of
the ViBE EM4000 encoder for
encoding of up to eight HD
MPEG-4 AVC channels and the
NetProcessor 9030/40, a highly
integrated and powerful
multiplexer and transport stream
processor.
Thomson’s ViBE EM4000 was
recently selected by Arqiva for
the UK’s DTT network upgrade.
Three new ViBE EM4000 HD/SD
encoder platforms, combined
with the next-generation
Flextream statistical multiplexer,
now provide DVB-T/T2 video
compression for the latest
upgrade of the Arqiva DTT
Platform, enabling the launch of
a new HD multiplex. http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2014/08/26/thomson-to-compress-it-all-up-to-4k/
