ViBE Encoder MPEG-4 AVC HD Encoder
Grass Valley™ products from Thomson offer the most comprehensive, multi-format solutions for acquisition, production, storage, playback, and transmission—and a strong foundation for centralized, proactive status and activity monitoring.
The ViBE MPEG-4 HD Encoder is based on unique Grass Valley compression algorithms. It takes advantage of all the available compression tools to achieve maximum quality and efficiency.
These products include the ViBE digital content delivery platform. Supporting 1 RU and 5 RU chassis, the ViBE encoder platform is the most compact available. It supports a variety of DTH and video distribution/contribution applications including IP, ATM, and PDH/SDH backbones. It also features internal and external redundancy schemes to ensure high availability and hot-swappable modules to minimize operational costs.
The encoder also supports constant and variable bitrate encoding, and features embedded Dolby 5.1 audio compression. It also provides dual Gigabit Ethernet IP outputs alongside the ASI transport stream.
The ViBE line includes the AVC HD encoder, which offers significant bandwidth savings compared to MPEG-2 compression without sacrificing picture quality. It’s perfect for broadcasters who want to launch high-definition (HD) services quickly.
