Harmonic Exhibitor Preview BroadcastAsia2013
At BroadcastAsia2013, Harmonic continues to set the bar for achieving operational and network cost efficiencies in broadcast and multiscreen production and delivery while enhancing the viewer experience. The company will showcase solutions that enable more efficient multiformat content production, more cost-effective distribution of content over any network, and better support of high-quality video delivery regardless of the display device. Throughout the show, Harmonic will provide demonstrations of HEVC compression for OTT, as well as the companys latest Ellipse contribution encoder.
Harmonic Products at BroadcastAsia2013:
Spectrum ChannelPort Integrated Channel Playout System
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.

Harmonic has made significant enhancements to its award-winning ProMedia suite of adaptive bit rate (ABR) solutions for multiscreen processing and delivery. New features include support for HEVC for VOD transcoding, increased synergy with the Harmonic MediaGrid shared storage system, and support for closed captioning, regional blackouts, and Nielsen ID3 tagging.
