Thomson Video Networks will unveil the new ViBE VS7000 video system at NAB.
ViBE is a fully integrated IP video solution for convergent applications such as Web TV and over-the-top services delivery, traditional IPTV, and IP/cable delivery. ViBE VS7000 video system combines all major audio/video codecs, the latest adaptive streaming formats, and an IT platform for native redundancy and scalability.
Thomson will also show new features to its Sapphire MPEG broadcast server, a “channel-in-a-box” solution with advanced capture, playout, and regionalization capabilities. The new features include frame-accurate clip editing enhancements, advanced logo insertion features (support for H.264, new scheduling capabilities), and BXF support.
At NAB, Thomson will also highlight its premium ViBE EM1000/EM2000 MPEG-2/MPEG-4 SD real-time encoders. ViBE EM1000/EM2000 now features processing of MPEG-2/MPEG-4 compressed sources in addition to baseband signals, additional MPEG-1 Layer II audio encoders for multichannel units, forward error correction generation for primary distribution or IPTV applications, and new filters for processing pre-coded MPEG-2 sources on the ViBE EM2000.
In addition, the ViBE EM3000 now features a progressive mode to reduce artifacts and bit-rates for movies, new algorithms to reduce mosquito effect and retain sharpness, and channel lineup optimization when combined with the latest Flextream statistical multiplexing solution.
