Stradis various, including HEVC
Vitec By Carolyn Giardina
HDM850+, the latest addition from Stradis to its decoder product line, supports HEVC decode over 3G-SDI, from SD to 1080p60 and is featured at the Vitec stand.
HDM850+ is a PCIe based decoder designed for professional broadcast applications such as content distribution, station/news automation, and quality control or for rendering the latest video standards. It features frame accurate playback and is compatible with HEVC, H.264 and MPEG-2.
For use by end users or integrators, it is compatible with many file formats including MXF OP1a & OP-Atom / MOV / MP4 and MPEG-2 PS and TS. HDM850+ features a hardware scaler/de-interlacer, a genlock
input, a 3G-SDI input for live insertion, a secondary SD-SDI output and a full frame OSD and several analogue video (YPbPr, RGB & RGBHV, S- Video and Composite) and audio outputs (8x AES digital audio outputs plus 2x unbalanced audio outputs). A SDK/API developer kit allows one or several Stradis HDM850+ decoder cards to be integrated and controlled into a video system. It also allows a seamless upgrade to a different decoder and is also compatible with the Livewire framework of Vitec’s encoder product range. 7.J31
Searching for a hero: Media Excel’s provides a solution to HD legacy media
Introducing the Heroes of the new UHD world
Media Excel By Anne Morris
As with the transition from SD to HD, content owners, broadcasters, video service providers, and content aggregators will eventually be under pressure to make legacy HD media available in a 4K/UHD world.
HEVC latest: The HDM850+ joins the Stradis decoder range of products
At IBC this week, Media Excel is demonstrating technology that it says will help companies to achieve this transition: 4K/Ultra High Definition (UHD) HEVC/H.265 file-to-file encoding on the company’s Hero multiscreen platform.
This Media Excel technology is based on the fourth generation Intel Core processor family and QuickFire Networks’ T-Video V1200 appliance, with 10x the current state-of-the-art performance per rack unit with half the power consumption of competitive systems, says the developer. “The Hero platform’s superior quality encoding and transcoding software, coupled with the T-Video V1200 delivers the versatility, scalability, and flexibility that is required for file- to-file legacy to HEVC/4K transcoding,” said John Hotchkiss, COO at Media Excel. “With Hero’s on-demand dynamic repurposing for live-to- live, live-to-file, and file-to-file
transcoding, no other platform delivers the quality, ease of use, and management capabilities for reducing CapEx and OpEx.” Hero utilises MPEG-DASH adaptive streaming so that several versions of live or VoD media are available to different devices based on the performance of those devices. By monitoring a device’s CPU and/or buffer status, adaptive streaming can change streams when necessary for continuous playback (a lower demand stream) or to improve QoE (a higher demand and visually better stream).
MPEG-DASH is included as a
standard feature on the platform. 14.150
