To enable delivery of Ultra HD content that significantly improves the home viewing experience, Teracom has combined its DVB-T2 transmission capability with the exceptional HEVC compression efficiency enabled by the ViBE VS7000 and the DVB-T2 gateway processing provided by the NetProcessor multiplexer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 1.5;&quot;&gt;“By deploying state-of-the-art technology on our infrastructure to enable DVB-T2 transmission of HEVC-encoded Ultra HD content, we are demonstrating that we are capable of offering our customers the highest quality viewing experience,” said Håkan Axén, product manager at Teracom Group. “Thomson Video Networks products enable us to leverage HEVC to realize compression efficiencies of up to 50 percent, which in turn makes it possible to broadcast Ultra HD services to the home.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Teracom’s groundbreaking end-to-end Ultra HD delivery model begins with Thomson Video Networks’ ViBE VS7000, an “anything in, anything out” encoding/transcoding platform powered by Thomson’s MediaFlex video operating system. The ViBE VS7000’s file transcoding capabilities enable output of Ultra HD/4K resolution, using either H.264 or HEVC encoding.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 1.5;&quot;&gt;Thomson Video Networks’ Sapphire is used to broadcast this UHD content. Based around a complete MPEG stream server and housed in a single cost-effective unit, the Sapphire MPEG stream server provides all the functions necessary to acquire, process, brand, and generate TV channels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thomson-networks.com/en/news/thomson-video-networks-enables-sweden%E2%80%99s-teracom-deliver-hevc-encoded-ultra-hd-over-dvb-t2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description> <pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2014 07:22:46 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>crystele</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">101641 at https://www.thomson-networks.com</guid> </item> <item> <title>Thomson Video Networks Showcases Contribution, Cable TV, and OTT Delivery Solutions for World-Class Video Quality at ANGA COM 2014 </title> <link>https://www.thomson-networks.com/en/news/thomson-video-networks-showcases-contribution-cable-tv-and-ott-delivery-solutions-world-class-v</link> <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field datetime field-date&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;date-display-single&quot;&gt;Wednesday, 2014, May 7 &amp;nbsp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- /content-field --&gt; &lt;!-- /content-field --&gt; &lt;!-- /content-field --&gt; &lt;p&gt;At this year’s ANGA COM, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;Thomson&lt;/span&gt; Video Networks&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;will demonstrate its latest innovations for enhancing the viewer experience while maximizing available bandwidth and video quality.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Innovative Fixed and Mobile Contribution Solutions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thomson Video Networks’ ViBE™ CP6000 is a dedicated multi-format, high-performance platform for contribution of live video.
