South San Francisco, CA -- Envivio Inc. today announced its 4Caster™
HD3 real time high definition (HD) encoding system is shipping. HD3
provides the highest quality video at a flexible range of target bit
rates between 6 and 12 Mbps. The real time system compresses content
for immediate distribution to air or can save files to an onboard
hard drive for VOD content creation. With better quality levels than
MPEG-2 at less than half the bit rates, HD3 is ideal for use in both
live and on-demand IPTV and broadcast distribution applications.
The system will be on display from June 5-7, 2006 at GLOBALCOMM in
the Envivio booth #47091. A Quad Play demonstration highlights the
encoding efficiency of the HD3 system and how it enhances an IPTV
headend for HD service delivery to a consumer set-top box. The HD3
is also paired with a 4View™ D5 professional decoder for a broadcast
demonstration. |

With the implementation of advanced MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 features, the
HD3 provides outstanding HD picture quality at bit rates that were
previously unattainable. This enables telcos to deploy HDTV on their
existing network infrastructure. The constant bit rate (CBR)
implementation maintains the steady stream rates required for
efficient video delivery over IPTV networks. The system also
provides capped variable bit rate (VBR) encoding for multi-channel
broadcast applications.
Developed with high quality, low data rate multi-media applications
in mind, 4Caster HD3 supports Pure IP transport mechanism, which is
rapidly becoming the infrastructure of choice for video over IP
applications. Offering operators a choice of transport mechanisms,
the HD3 also supports MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) over IP for easy
integration with traditional infrastructures. Features such as a
space saving one rack unit (1RU) form factor, remote web-based
system control, and compression support for 720p and 1080i broadcast
content have created a backlog of requests for the system.
