Key Products

ProView 7100 Integrated Receiver-Decoder, Transcoder, and Stream Processor

Harmonics ProView 7100 is the industrys first 1-RU, scalable, multiformat integrated receiver-decoder (IRD), transcoder, and MPEG stream processor. Leveraging the companys expertise in intelligent function integration, the ProView 7100 adds broadcast-quality SD/HD MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC decoding and video transcoding to the feature-rich ProView IRD platform, giving content providers, broadcasters, cable MSOs, and telcos the ability to easily and cost-effectively streamline their workflows and decrease operating costs. For applications in which preserving pristine video quality is paramount, this solution also supports AVC HD 4:2:2 10-bit decoding up to 1080p.

The ProView 7100 IRD harnesses a flexible and modular design to address the vast spectrum of content reception applications, from decoding, descrambling, and multiplexing of multiple transport streams to MPEG-4 to MPEG-2 transcoding. With an advanced and dense multichannel descrambler, the ProView 7100 simplifies the deployment of, or migration to, an all-IP headend solution and powers the launch of added-value services. The flexible hardware design is easily reconfigured with firmware upgrades, enabling seamless adaptation to new inbound video formats and codecs, such as MPEG-4 AVC.

Electra 9200 Encoder

The latest evolution of Harmonics market-leading Electra compression family, the Electra 9200 is a multichannel, multiservice encoder in a compact, energy-efficient 1-RU chassis. Part of a complete video headend solution, the encoder supports main and secondary SD or HD channels of constant bit rate or variable bit-rate video using either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC encoding. It offers high bandwidth efficiency and channel density up to four audio/video input processing modules per chassis.

Superior video quality merges with Harmonic intelligent function integration in the Electra 9200 to deliver a high-performance unit that helps increase efficiency while lowering service providers capital and operating expenses.

ProStream 9100 With ACE Real-Time Stream Processor and Transcoder

Leveraging Harmonics market-leading ACE transcoding technology which currently supports more than 54,000 live channels the ProStream 9100 with ACE is a converged solution for processing SD/HD content for broadcast and multiscreen delivery. The 1-RU ProStream 9100 delivers superior video quality and the flexibility to support multiple complex digital processing applications, such as digital turnaround, any-to-any audio and video transcoding, linear ad insertion, and live adaptive streaming. It addresses current broadcast and multiscreen I/O formats and scales easily to accommodate future formats.

ProStream 9100 with ACE features an ultra-high-density architecture that dramatically reduces the amount of rack space required to meet growing processing and transcoding requirements. System flexibility and workflow versatility are achieved with modular audio/video processing modules and high-capacity IP processing cards. Low power consumption, high reliability, and simplified serviceability result in a best-in-class multiformat platform that offers superior video quality and lower OPEX.
