After its split with Grass Valley, Thomson Video Networks comes with its new portfolio to the show.
Thomson Video Networks will be coming as a new and separate entity to CABSAT this year. The company will showcase its portfolio of video compression solutions that enable operators to deliver high-quality video services to TVs, PCs, and mobile devices.
The ViBE EM3000 HD encoder now features advanced 3D functionality and also boasts an additional general compression performance gain of 15 percent. The upgraded ViBE video compression range is already on the air, broadcasting pan-European sports content.
The most important of the portfolio will include ViBE EM1000/EM2000 encoders, ViBE Mobile TV encoder, and 3D and 3G contribution solutions. The ViBE EM1000 and ViBE EM2000 encoders now support MPEG-2/4 compressed input, providing the ability to re-encode signals received on ASI or IP. With this option, the ViBE EM1000 and EM2000 become the metaphorical Swiss Army Knife, giving broadcasters the ability to reduce infrastructure costs on the path to a full IP architecture with no compromise on picture quality. Built-in DVB subtitle transcoding capabilities are also now offered in the ViBE EM1000 and ViBE EM2000 encoders. This new DVB subtitle software license, based on Cavena technology, simplifies the management of DVB subtitle redundancy and saves space by avoiding external subtitling equipment.
Next on the demo rack will be the cost-effective ViBE Mobile TV encoder for MPEG-4/H.264 video compression and HE-AAC audio compression, which features scalable video coding (SVC) as well as a unique region of interest (ROI) encoding system.
Thomson Video Networks will also showcase its 3D innovations with the ViBE EM3000 HD encoder, which now ensures that 3D shoots are encapsulated in a single stream, delivered in perfect synchronisation, and feature high-quality video quality. The company will also spotlight the ViBE VA5004 codec, which comprises a state-of-art JPEG 2000 compression engine, making it an ideal codec for high-quality SD, HD, and 3D contribution transmission over telecommunication links.
