Digital terrestrial viewers in Denmark have received an upgrade to their digital terrestrial services, thanks to a joint project between transmission company Teracom and Cisco.
The renewal and replacement project was designed to help simplify terrestrial distribution for national and regional TV broadcasters in Denmark.
“Cisco is a trusted advisor we can rely on,” said Martin Løbel, chief executive officer, Teracom A/S. “Together, the local Cisco video team and our technical staff have created an encoding and IP statistical multiplexing solution for our broadcast customers that meets our critical business plan, and goals for features and timing.”
Cisco’s D9902 Digital Content Manager will make it possible for more high definition services to be added to the platform over the same bandwidth.
“With the DCM being a key element of the Cisco hybrid virtual solution, it can support a full range of video entertainment services,” said Yves Padrines, vice president, Global Service Provider, Cisco EMEAR. “We have enjoyed a long working relationship with Teracom over the years, and we continue to design and implement network technology solutions that will meet current and future challenges.”
Functionality within the D9902 includes; Audio and video encoding for HD and SD programming; IP statistical multiplexing; Multiplexing and processing prior to signal transmissiom; System redundancy/backup; Encryption and Single Frequency Network (SFN) adaptation of the signal.
