The new iPlex UltraCompression transcoder furthers TANDBERG Television's market leadership in the IPTV space. It supports multi-format MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC SD and HD input streams and uses TANDBERG Television's best-in-class next generation AVC (1) (Advanced Video Coding) The video compression techniques used in the H.264 standard, jointly developed by ISO and the ITU-T. See H.264. (2) (Audio Visual C platform to transcode (1) To convert from one format to another. It implies conversion between very distinct kinds of data, such as from speech into text or from analog video into digital frames. Sometimes the term is used as nothing more than a fancier synonym for "convert. them to either MPEG-4 AVC SD or HD output. Up to 4 UltraCompression transcoders are supported in the 1RU iPlex video processing platform, giving the iPlex market leading density. By supporting transcoding, the iPlex video processing platform ensures the integrity of metadata in the transport streams (closed captioning, teletext teletext: see videotex. A broadcasting service that transmits text to a TV set that has a teletext decoder. It uses the vertical blanking interval of the TV signal (black line between frames when vertical hold is not adjusted) to transmit about a hundred etc.) and maximizes the performance of lip sync issues with subtitles. Additionally, when used in conjunction with bulk descrambling receivers, the iPlex transcoding architecture reduces the cost of the overall head-end design and improves video quality. "Building on the success of the iPlex UltraCompression platform, our transcoding capability sets a new industry performance benchmark. It offers an elegant and cost-effective way for service providers to take advantage of the bit-rate savings associated with MPEG-4 AVC while using either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC compressed programming from content providers," said Ian Tapp, senior vice president, business development, TANDBERG Television, Inc. "The integrated approach in the iPlex not only simplifies system architectures, but also enables the increase in IPTV picture quality that we know our North American North American named after North America.

The TANDBERG Television integrated transcoding solution offers a variety of advantages over disparate, multiple unit solutions. It converts an incoming HD or SD MPEG-2 transport stream to digital baseband, avoiding the composite video interconnection common in multi-box approaches, performs pre-processing for picture and compression optimization, and then encodes the stream into MPEG-4 AVC on a single submodule. The integrated design allows for increased signal processing control, in turn significantly increasing the compression performance. Also, ancillary data such as Teletext and Closed Captions is left intact, allowing the solution to conform with country-specific requirements. With more and more 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 operations using MPEG-4 AVC systems, the UltraCompression transcoder also provides the simplest solution for MPEG-4 to MPEG-4 rate conversion by enabling the operator to take this new content off-air and adapt it to the needs of their IPTV network. Picture-in-Picture (PiP) images are also generated alongside the main video stream. Increased density lowers a service provider's upfront equipment costs, eliminates cabling, reduces power costs, improves overall system reliability and minimizes rack space. About iPlex Video Processing Platform The TANDBERG iPlex is a flexible video processing platform, rather than just an encoder chassis, and offers the industry's most comprehensive IPTV head-end video processing solution. The system includes MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC SD and HD encoding, transrating, transcoding, and picture-in-picture (PIP) service generation, all packaged in a high density, NEBS-certified, telco-designed chassis. Since its launch in March this year, the iPlex UltraCompression has won four major industry awards, demonstrating the value the iPlex delivers to telcos. It was given 'Best IPTV Head-end & Video Processing Technology' at the IPTV World Forum in London; an IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries.
