Scopus Video Networks at Satellite 2009
Today's satellite operators and broadcasters require cost-effective solutions for independent high-definition content contribution and global newsgathering, as well as for event coverage and transmission. The need for advanced yet cost-effective compression and modulation techniques has become critical to facilitate a smooth migration from MPEG2 to H.264 compression, simplifying the distribution of HD digital feeds via satellite and IP networks. In booth 254 at the 2009 Satellite Conference, Scopus Video Networks, soon to be acquired by Harmonic Inc., will address these challenges.
Specifically targeting satellite operators, broadcasters, and content providers, Scopus offers high-end, high-quality video contribution and distribution products and solutions addressing live event coverage, fixed and mobile contribution applications, and multi-site distribution solutions. Scopus' unique and comprehensive IP- and ASI-based headend solutions address direct-to-home as well as content distribution and delivery requirements. Scopus solutions feature bandwidth-optimization, multi-format video encoding, and statistical multiplexing platforms for hybrid transmission and diverse HD/SD services.
Scopus' Satellite 2009 Demonstrations Will Include:
Contribution and Distribution Solutions for Satellite Operators and Broadcasters
Scopus will display market-leading solutions for live event coverage, newsgathering, and primary contribution and distribution of high-quality video.
Some highlights include:
Contribution: HD/SD content delivery offering H.264 and low latency for live event coverage, utilizing Scopus' cutting-edge encoding and reception platforms
Distribution: Rich encoding and reception platforms utilizing open standard, DVB-S2, SD/HD H.264, and IP technologies
Scopus Products on Display at the 2009 Satellite Conference Include:
Integrated Receiver Processor (IRP) — Dense Decoder and Descrambler
The Integrated Receiver Processor (IRP) platform combines a dense receiver that uses a variety of front ends, a dual decoder, a transport stream descrambler, and a powerful re-multiplexer. As a multiformat H.264 and MPEG-2 decoder, the IRP provides decoding for all video formats and resolutions in both standard and high definition. Its wide choice of input options ensures compatibility with all transmission media, and its density makes the receiver a smart and economical choice for professionals.
As a descrambler, the IRP is an ideal solution for digital turnaround applications, featuring multiple front ends, multiple TS descrambling, and powerful re-multiplexing. Highlighted features are multiple DVB-S/S2, ASI, and GbE inputs; a variety of TS outputs including 2xASI and 2xGbE; two integrated DVB common interface modules that allow descrambling of two complete transport streams; regeneration of MPTS to multi-MPTS/SPTS; PID/service filtering with table regeneration; and more.
