Elemental Perfects the Media Experience On-Premises and in the Cloud at IBC 06

Elemental Technologies, the leader in software-defined video solutions, today announced plans to showcase on-premises and cloud-based video solutions at IBC 2016 that enable premium broadcast and multiscreen content delivery for superior viewing experiences. Elemental and Amazon Web Services will exhibit at stand 5.C80 in the RAI Center, Amsterdam, September 9 13.

Software-defined video solutions from Elemental enable broadcasters, content owners, pay TV operators and enterprise customers to implement flexible and scalable video infrastructure and to rapidly deploy new services with cloud-based resources that dynamically scale with demand. At IBC, Elemental will demonstrate its full product suite as well as a host of Amazon Web Services offerings that help media and entertainment leaders efficiently expand linear broadcast services and accelerate OTT service launches. Highlights include:

Unified Video Infrastructure:

High Bitrate Encoding Reference architecture demonstrates end-to-end linear DVB-S/S2 broadcast to set-top boxes paired with multiscreen distribution. A unified headend solution enables customers to deploy 24/7 linear services quickly and with reduced risk.

Live Channel Playout A software-based approach to linear 24/7 broadcast channel creation with dynamic content control and motion graphic overlay reduces video workflow complexity, improves resiliency and lowers operational costs.

Dynamic Content Control Overlay static and motion graphics at 60 frames per second on HD or UHD video outputs to create a broadcast channel experience and advertising opportunity.

Statistical Multiplexing Elemental solutions leverage tight integration with Amazon cloud storage for cloud-based broadcast channel deployments. Support for live channel playout and VOD content storage includes hosting of motion graphics and file-based video assets.

Enhanced Output Capabilities Accelerate and optimize large-scale media asset transfer to the AWS Cloud with Amazon Direct Connect for file-based video processing using Elemental Cloud services. Direct Connect also lends stability to live video sources for improved reliability of live channel solutions.

Live Broadcasting from the Cloud Encoder management software offers the features and functionality required by pay TV operators for large-scale linear workflows, including schedule automation.

SDI over IP HDR 10, HLG HDR, and Dolby Vision implementations illustrate improved color space, deeper luminance and increased bit depth for enhanced image quality.

Virtual Reality Reach more viewers with targeted and personalized ad content and video delivery with server-side ad decisioning.

Multiscreen Monetization Just-in-time packaging, just-in-time DRM, live-to-VOD and other time-shifted TV services enable video distributors to realize new revenue opportunities.
