Sweden’s Teracom will use Thomson Video Networks’ ViBE VS7000 video system, NetProcessor 9030/40 multiplexer, and Sapphire MPEG stream server, at ANGA COM to demonstrate a complete transmission chain for DVB-T2 delivery of HEVC-encoded video.
Teracom’s end-to-end Ultra HD delivery model begins with Thomson Video Networks’ ViBE VS7000, an “anything in, anything out” encoding/transcoding platform powered by Thomson’s MediaFlex video operating system. The ViBE VS7000’s file transcoding capabilities enable output of Ultra HD/4K resolution, using either H.264 or HEVC encoding.
Thomson Video Networks’ Sapphire is used to broadcast this UHD content. Based around a complete MPEG stream server and housed in a single cost-effective unit, the Sapphire MPEG stream server provides all the functions necessary to acquire, process, brand and generate TV channels.
Teracom is feeding the Sapphire output to the NetProcessor, which in turn encapsulates the multiplex into a DVB-T2-MI stream, providing signalisation, transmission, and synchronization parameters to DVB-T2 modulators.
By embedding the DVB-T2 gateway and inverse DVB-T2 gateway, the NetProcessor system drastically improves the overall transmission architecture while reducing equipment and potential points of failure.
