Harmonic will showcase new features for its market-leading Spectrum media server product line. The Spectrum ChannelPort integrated channel playout system will feature powerful new channel-in-a-box capabilities such as dual DVEs with independent branding.
The Spectrum ChannelPort platform speeds the cost-effective deployment of new SD and HD television channels by integrating branding and master control switching with clip playback on the industrys most trusted media server platform. Fully compatible with Spectrum MediaCenter and MediaDeck 7000 servers, ChannelPort fits seamlessly into existing production and playout infrastructures, reducing complexity and cutting the time it takes to launch new services.
Ellipse Contribution Encoder
At BroadcastAsia2013 Harmonic will showcase the Ellipse 3000 contribution encoder for the first time in Asia. The Ellipse 3000 employs MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:0/4:2:2 8- and10-bit compression technologies to enable transmission of pristine real-time video over satellite and broadband contribution networks. By encoding the highest-possible picture quality at the front end of the broadcast chain, the Ellipse 3000 offers broad codec support and simple in-field firmware upgradability.
Very low latency, in conjunction with multiformat and multicodec versatility, makes the Ellipse 3000 ideal for digital satellite newsgathering (DSNG) operations and live sports coverage or any application in which premium image quality and high performance are primary considerations.
