Their booth (Booth No. SU10220), themed "Unveiling the Real H.264 Solution" will exhibit the first NTT Cyber Space Laboratories technology to be presented at the show, including AVC/H.264 technologies such as an encoder/decoder equipped with the original chip employing the 4:2:2 high-profile AVC/H.264 for Contribution. New products and solutions for video content transmission/creation/distribution services in broadcasting and telecommunications also will be introduced at the booth. In addition, NTT Electronics will demonstrate cutting-edge video transmission equipment, such as the H3000/H5100 Series, a high-quality MPEG-2 encoder/decoder used by broadcasters worldwide. The following products will be on display. 1. Contribution * First time on display AVC/H.264 Codec LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. (Technology exhibit, NTT Cyber Space Laboratories). A new HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates AVC/H.264 codec LSI developed by NTT Cyber Space Laboratories will be unveiled. This is the world's first high-profile codec LSI supporting AVC/H.264 for Contribution. An ultra-high-quality video will be on display. * New Product H5100 Series: High performance MPEG-2 HDTV encoder/decoder with enhanced audio processing functionality and multi channels. Optional functions include up to 16 channels of audio input and built-in Dolby E or Dolby Digital processing module. Optional IP transmission interface can be installed to dramatically improve mobility by eliminating the need for an external IP device. * H3000 Series: Lightweight, compact, high performance MPEG-2 HDTV encoder/decoder. A compact, half-rack, lightweight high-quality encoder/decoder for content transmission that is perfect for mobile, such as OB Vans, helicopters or motorcycles. Transmits or relays live video from the field by SNG/dedicated line. The SCE3000, the SDTV (Standard Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards with 480 lines of resolution. All SDTV formats are interlaced, and SDTV pictures are not as sharp as progressive scan EDTV or HDTV (Enhanced Definition or High Definition). SDTV Vs. version of the H3000 Series, will also be on display. * NA5000: MPEG-2 transport stream over IP interface unit for transmission. Provides high-quality video transmission utilizing wide-area LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. or dedicated line using bi-directional transfer of MPEG-2 transport streams. Supports connections with 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet lines, and is equipped with Forward Error Correction A communications technique that can correct bad data on the receiving end. Before transmission, the data are processed through an algorithm that adds extra bits for error correction. If the transmitted message is received in error, the correction bits are used to repair it. (FEC) function and encryption function. * 4kx2k MPEG-2 encoder ES8000/decoder DS8000 Super High Resolution (SHR). Can transmit ultra-fine 4kx2k video and audio in real-time, and can relay up to four HDTV live video channels from a sports stadium or the like. The optional NA5000 interface unit can be added to enable multicast simultaneous transmission to various sites via an IP network. 2. Content Distribution * First time on display Real-time MPEG-2/H.264 Transcoder (Technology exhibit, NTT Cyber Space Laboratories). Transcodes MPEG-2 HDTV to high-compression AVC/H.264 in real-time, making this transcoder ideal for transmitting high-quality HDTV video by IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. , CATV (Community Antenna TV) The original name for cable TV. It used a single antenna at the highest location in the community in order to deliver a quality signal to homes in areas with hilly terrain or other interference. or satellite. This transcoder is used in the NTT Group's NGN (Next Generation Networks) An umbrella term for mixed voice and data networks running over the IP protocol. See IP Multimedia Subsystem. trial of IP-based retransmission of terrestrial digital broadcast. * HVE7100: High-quality AVC/H.264 HDTV real-time encoder. High-quality HDTV encoder for IPTV, CATV or satellite. Supports main profile and high profile and is equipped with IP output and 2-channel DVB-ASI DVB-ASI Digital Video Broadcasting - Asynchronous Serial Interface output. 3. Content Creation * Software-based content creation encoding system (Technology exhibit, NTT Cyber Space Laboratories). Software-based encoding system makes encoding tuning more flexible. Particularly ideal for content creation such as VoD, where high compression is emphasized. * HT1000: HD-Linkage IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394-to-HD-SDI / DVB-ASI converter. Converts HDV (High Definition Video) The high-definition, wide screen version of the DV magnetic tape format. Like DV, HDV recording moves at a constant data rate and stores data on the same DV and MiniDV tapes as SD camcorders. (MPEG-2 TS, 1080i@59.94, 1080i@50) signals into HD-SDI and DVB-ASI signals without any special settings, enabling user to just supply power and connect an HDV camera to a professional editor's system. Can be combined with the NA5000 IP interface unit to provide HDTV transmission via an IP network. About NTT Electronics: NTT Electronics is an industry leader in image compression technology.
