Harmonic To Showcase New Products

News Image
Harmonic has said it will demonstrate a number of its solutions at Convergence India 2016, 20 – 22 January.

The line-up includes:

ProView 8100 Integrated Receiver-Decoder (IRD)
The ProView 8100 integrated receiver-decoder (IRD), now features fingerprint security capabilities, and provides flexibility for high-quality video distribution, enabling operators to receive DVB-S/S2, IP or ASI signals; decode SD and HD MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC transport streams to baseband; descramble encrypted programs and output content to analog or digital. Reception of broadcast-quality video over the Internet is also supported.

Through the IRD, operators can ensure high video quality and low latency for the distribution of content at resolutions up to 1080p50/60. The unit provides simultaneous HD-SDI and SD-SDI output with high-quality HD-to-SD down-conversion, allowing operators to use the same device to feed both the HD and SD production chains. Built-in frame-rate conversion provides further benefits, particularly for multinational program distributors, as it enables content shot at 50 Hz to be distributed at 60 Hz, or vice versa without a separate, stand-alone frame-rate converter.

Contribution over the Internet
Utilising the Ellipse 3000 contribution encoder and ProView 8100 IRD with deep packet recovery, Harmonic will demonstrate 4:2:2 10-bit AVC HD contribution encoding, with broadcast-quality video transport over the Internet.

Electra X Advanced Media Processor
This is a new, fully converged platform for broadcast and OTT delivery of SD, HD and UHD/4K. The encoder supports graphics, branding and playout functionalities, as well as video quality and full-frame UHD/4K live encoding.

Two models are available – the 1-RU Electra X2, ideal for all SD and HD media processing applications, and the 2-RU Electra X3, designed specifically for UHD encoding. The Harmonic PURE Compression Engine is at the core of both units and supports SD, HD and UHD formats and MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC codecs for broadcast and OTT multiscreen delivery.

The Electra X enables service providers to meet subscribers' quality expectations while offering complete investment protection by making it easy to adapt to innovative new technologies as they become available, including UHD content delivery to both first and second screens.

Spectrum X Media Server With Polaris Playout Management Suite
Designed to address the full range of playout applications for broadcasters, the Polaris suite represents Harmonic's first offering in the emerging media orchestration category.

With the Polaris suite, the company demonstrates an increase in its commitment to production and playout solutions, with a focus on functional integration of the video delivery chain for greater efficiency, flexibility and simplicity. Delivery of video channels with advanced capabilities can be achieved in a fraction of the time with fewer resources previously required.
