Triveni Digital and Harmonic have teamed up to provide a bundled solution for low-power television broadcasting (LPTC) stations.
The technology uses a DiviCom Ion multichannel MPEG-2 encoder packaged with Triveni Digital GuideBuilder metadata management system to provide MPEG and PSIP functions needed for LPTV stations converting to digital. The combined system allows stations to support multiple video channels as well as offer advanced digital video services such as push VOD while minimizing capital and operating expenses.
DiviCom Ion can incorporate up to four high-quality encoders and 10 stereo audio pairs in a 1RU chassis that is managed through a graphical user interface. The Ion supports constant or variable bit rate (CBR or VBR). VBR configurations include the Harmonic DiviTrackMX statistical multiplexing technology to provide a low bit-rate system for the LPTV market.
The package was unveiled at the CBA 2005 in Las Vegas this week.
