Elemental Technologies, a supplier of software-defined video solutions for multiscreen content delivery, is expanding its product line to support statistical multiplexing and enhanced management operations in large-scale video processing deployments. New capabilities enable broadcasters, content owners and pay TV operators to implement flexible and scalable unified infrastructure that supports both traditional broadcast and multiscreen linear video delivery.

At NAB 2015, Elemental will demonstrate software-defined video solutions that integrate functions including statistical multiplexing, end-to-end redundancy and multiscreen content delivery such that pay TV operators can architect unified headends for linear channel operations. With next-generation video encoding, multiplexing, and advanced system management solutions from Elemental, operators can extract more bandwidth capacity from their networks, ensure reliable 24/7 operations and reduce total cost of ownership for linear video delivery when deploying hundreds of channels.

Elemental Statmux is the industrys first software-based multi-codec, multi- resolution statistical multiplexer. Multi-codec, multi-resolution statmux support allows operators to mix and match different codecs within their workflows and delivery networks and thoroughly optimise bandwidth usage while putting forward new linear and OTT service offerings in a unified approach.

For more sophisticated 4K UHD TV and unified headend strategies, Elemental Live encoders can ingest 4K UHD or HD content and transcode it into parallel HEVC UHD and MPEG-2 or H.264 HD and SD streams, allowing a single system to create multi- resolution channel statmux outputs from a single source. Whatever the codec combination, a linear video delivery solution from Elemental is designed to adapt and grow with rapidly evolving cable, satellite and terrestrial network requirements. The ability to mix resolutions and codecs on the same mux channel opens many different possibilities for TV operators and enables a smooth migration path from legacy standards.

Elemental will demonstrate its linear video delivery solutions at NAB in booth SU2724 from 13 to 16 April.
