Highlights at the Harmonic booth will include:
Encoding and Stream Processing
Harmonic will unveil and demonstrate a groundbreaking software technology that has the potential to redefine the broadcast video delivery ecosystem. The company also will feature a unique, live 4K Ultra HD 2160p60 demonstration.
The market-leading ATSC 3.0-ready Electra(TM) universal multifunction, multiformat encoding platform, which features the industry's highest density audio encoding capabilities, will be on display, as will a powerful primary distribution solution built on the Harmonic DMS(TM) video distribution management system and a new ProView(TM) IRD (integrated receiver-decoder).
Harmonic also will show its advanced multiscreen ad insertion solution, which leverages the ProMedia(R) family and ProStream(R) with ACE(R) broadcast and multiscreen transcoder and integrates with advertising ecosystem partners to enable the monetization of multiscreen services. By facilitating commercial insertion, along with program substitution and blackout on the client side, the Harmonic solution gives operators a straightforward and cost-effective way to generate a return on their multiscreen investment.
