Russia’s Comstar-Direct is to expand its IPTV head-end with MPEG-4 encoding and decoding supplied by Tandberg Television.
The Ericsson Group-owned company has for some time already provided Comstar-Direct with MPEG-2 decoders for its SD service.
According to Comstar-Direct, this will be the first such large-scale deployment of MPEG-4 AVC in Russia.
