Media Excel, a leading supplier of reliable software solutions for realtime multiscreen video delivery, today announced that Turksat, Turkey's leading communications satellite operator, has selected Media Excel's 4K Ultra HD HEVC Encoder to help deliver the country's first 4K live broadcasting channel. Based in Ankara, the new Turksat 4K Ultra TV Channel will use the Media Excel Hero 4K, deployed by LG Electronics (LGE), to enhance the quality of experience for viewers across the region.
Turksat will leverage Media Excel's HERO 4K encoder to provide 4K pixel density, 50 fps motion fluency and 10-bit color depth to provide viewers in Turkey with an unmatched viewing experience. HEROs HEVC compression efficiency alleviates the bandwidth constraints that come with the 4K stream. The HERO 4K Encoder incorporates Media Excel's HERO Clone transcoding technology, a state-of-the-art symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) encoding framework.
Media Excel leads the field in Ultra HD, from our perspective. While there are many encoder vendors in the marketplace, we placed our confidence in Media Excel as its product was clearly 4K-ready, said H samettin Demirel, the Director of TV Broadcasting, Turksat. We are delighted with the results of our 4K trials with Media Excel and LGE, and subsequent broadcasts to our viewers have demonstrated the highest level of video quality along with the reliability of a broadcast-level service.
The HERO 4K Encoder meets and exceeds the rigorous demands required for UHD/HEVC elevated processing power, using reduced bandwidth transport capacity, while providing superior 4K video quality and 60fps motion fluency. For both Live and File workflows, at the data center or in the cloud, HERO 4K provides production-ready 4K HEVC that is both standards compliant and field proven.
We were thrilled to work with LGE to deliver the solution to Turksat, and announce that another major operator is going live with the HERO 4K encoder, said Kevin Dowd, President of APAC, Media Excel. The deployments of both Turksat and LGE highlight Media Excels leadership in the 4K arena. It is testament to the hard work and innovation of our team that we are the only vendor who has been able to deploy exceptional 4K video quality along with broadcast-level service reliability.
We have worked closely with Turksat to deliver the best solution that would match their customers' requirements, said Jikang Kim, the Director of Business Development , LGE. As a forward-thinking broadcaster, Turksat has created a market first by taking 4K to viewers in the region. By deploying the HERO 4K encoder, we were confident that they would achieve the required high level of service reliability and video quality.
