Thomson Video Announce Broadcast & Cable Lineup

News Image
At this year's SET Broadcast & Cable, Thomson Video Networks has revealed it will showcase the new eight-channel versions of its ViBE™ CP6000 modular contribution platform and ViBE EM4000 multi-channel HD/SD encoder for premium video compression, as well as its ViBE VS7000 multi-screen video system powered by HEVC compression for ISDB-Tb and OTT solutions.
The company also plans to display its capture and playout solutions, including:
  • the Sapphire MPEG broadcast server (channel in a box) and Amethyst redundancy switch.

  • The ViBE CP6000 provides eight encoding or decoding channels in a single RU, with four hot-swappable slots.

  • The system offers encoding for channels ranging from MPEG-2 4:2:0 8-bit up to MPEG-4 4:2:2 10 bit.

  • The ViBE EM4000 offers a density of eight HD MPEG-4 AVC channels in a 1-RU chassis and can be used in a range of broadcast operations, including satellite, terrestrial, cable, and IP television. The system can encode HD or SD channels in MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-2.

Thomson Video will also be promoting the HD, SD, One Seg, and Web TV all-in-one encoding on the ViBE VS7000 platform (pictured), which also supports both real-time and offline HEVC compression for ISDB-Tb and OTT applications.
As a "channel-in-a-box" solution with capture, playout, and regionalisation capabilities, operating with MPEG-2- and H.264-compressed content, Sapphire provides all of the functions needed to ingest, process, brand, and generate TV channels ready for air.
New features include frame-accurate clip-editing enhancements, logo-insertion features (including support for H.264 and new scheduling capabilities), and BXF support. This last feature allows frame-accurate control of the Sapphire by any external automation or traffic system.
