No other media processing solution on the market brings together such a comprehensive set of capabilities, including premium encoding, statmux and packaging, as well as innovative edge distribution enabled through an extensive set of RF front-ends and output interfaces, said Gil Rudge, senior vice president, video products and solutions at Harmonic.
