Adtec Digital and Socionext to Build Space-Efficient, 4K, Dense
End-to-End HEVC Solution for Optimized Video Processing
Demo Set for Annual IBC Exhibition Sept. 14-18
NASHVILLE, Tenn., and SUNNYVALE, Calif., August 31, 2018 --- Adtec Digital, a leading
manufacturer of contribution-class broadcast, cable and IP video delivery solutions, is partnering withSocionext Inc., a market leader in advanced SoC video technology powering high-end broadcast
systems and mass-market video streaming devices, to offer a new HEVC solution on Adtec’s afinitiplatform.
Adtec’s new HEVC encode solution integrates Socionext’s
MB86M30 (M30) multi-format codec ICs and features a wide
range of capabilities from (4K) HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit to AVC 4:2:2
10-bit to MPEG-2 4:2:0 8-bit encoding. With value added
features including low latency and a built-in multiplexer, this new
afiniti offering will enable solutions for a wide range of markets.
The space-saving, power-saving and bandwidth-saving HEVC
encoder solution comes in a standard RU and can be purchased
as a single channel (4K) HEVC encoder and can be upgraded tosupport up to 4-(4K) systems or 16-HD channels in one chassis.
The HEVC encoder product will be released in Q4 2018, andfollowed up with a companion HEVC decode product in early 2019.
“Socionext’s codec technology comes with significant saving and flexibility. Adtec’s dense encoder
packages help lower operating expense by packing more services and features into one box,” said
Andre Ancelin, CTO from Adtec Digital. “Transitioning between multiple codecs, resolutions, andtransport options can be accomplished in one standard’s compliant device, thereby providing thegreatest of flexibility for ever-changing markets.”Tom Miyake, Corporate Executive VP of Socionext Inc., said, “Adtec leads the market in providing a
low latency, end-to-end HEVC solution for the contribution market. We value our continuous
partnership with Adtec Digital and we look forward to building high-performance solutions that
address the compute-intensive mass consumption of high-quality video, specifically the need for
efficient and dense live encoding for today’s standards and tomorrow’s 4K AVC/HEVC requirements.”
Adtec Digital will showcase the Socionext M30 hardware and the new HEVC encode prototype in stand#1.D01 at the annual IBC event in Amsterdam. Exhibitions are open September 14 - 18 at the RAI
Exhibition and Congress Centre.
