IBC 2011. Hall 1, Stand No. 1.D61. Ericsson has launched a new technology package, which it says provides a powerful and flexible approach to the multiscreen TV market. It covers the expansion on processing power required for operators to run a multiscreen TV offer.
“When you look at today’s multi-screen TV offerings, it is clear that TV service providers are challenged by the scalability necessary to validate the various business models,” said Dr Giles Wilson, head of technology, Solution Area TV, Ericsson. “Our new additions to the Multi-platform Stream Processor family uniquely provide operators with a truly next generation platform for delivering linear content to every new device of the future, enabling TV service providers to meet increasingly high demands for quality and video resolution.”
Ericsson is enabling the processing of several hundred channels into thousands of adaptive streaming profiles. The Ericsson SPR1200 Multiscreen Stream Processor, a true hardware approach to multiscreen compression, is combined with the Ericsson NPR1200 Multiscreen Network Processor, a dense software-based adaptive streaming segmentation and encryption processor, designed to track dynamic updates in adaptive streaming formats and DRM systems associated with the needs of delivery to different types of devices, as well as supporting an array of deployment architectures and formats.
