The company will showcase the North American debut of its BE8000 broadcast encoder platform for high-definition AVC/H.264 video compression. The BE8000 is a scalable, fully programmable, broadcast encoder for HD video compression using the state-of-the-art Main profile, Level 4 H.264/AVC standard, all in 1 RU.

The BE8000 accepts 720p and1080i (4:2:2) uncompressed HD video and up to four channels of embedded HD-SDI audio inputs. The system also features MPEG-4 AAC audio encoding for high-quality audio at the lowest compressed bit-rate.
