Harmonic Reveal IBC2013 Portfolio

Digital video infrastructure solutions provider Harmonic will be at this year's IBC show in Amsterdam on stand 1.B20, demonstrating the latest solutions designed to optimise the production and delivery of video services in the broadcast, cable, and multiscreen environments.
"At IBC2013 Harmonic will showcase its 'glass-to-glass' integrated broadcast and multiscreen solutions, which deliver dramatically superior video quality across formats from SD to emerging Ultra HD," said Peter Alexander, senior vice president of marketing and chief marketing officer at Harmonic.
"The product demonstrations at the booth will highlight the operational efficiencies, cost savings, and amazing video quality that operators can achieve by leveraging an integrated solution from Harmonic. Leading the industry in supporting next-generation formats and standards like Ultra HD and HEVC, Harmonic helps broadcasters and operators gain time-to-market advantage and monetize their new service offerings.
