International. Elemental Technologies announced the expansion of its product line to support statistical multiplexing and product management operations in large-scale video processing deployments.
The new capabilities enable broadcasters, content owners and pay-TV operators to implement unified, flexible and scalable infrastructure that supports both traditional broadcasting and multi-screen linear video delivery.
As part of its exhibition at NAB, it will also demonstrate software-defined video solutions that integrate different functions, including statistical multiplexing, end-to-end redundancy and the delivery of multi-screen content to such headers in which pay-TV operators can unify architectures for linear channel operations.
With Elemental's next-generation video encoding, multiplexing, and advanced systems management solutions, operators can extract more bandwidth capacity from their networks, with reliable 24/7 operations and reduce total cost of ownership for linear video delivery for hundreds of channels deployment.
Part of those new systems is the Statmux, the industry's first software-based multi-codec, multi-resolution statistical multiplexer. It allows operators to mix and match different codecs within their workflows and delivery networks and thoroughly optimize bandwidth usage by formulating new linear OTT service offerings and in a unified approach.
The company indicated that TCC, a Pay-TV operator in Latin America, is using Elemental Statmux to optimize its linear video delivery, achieving between 15 and 20 percent savings in bandwidth compared to TCC's existing video processing solution.
Marcelo Coggan, TCC's Chief Technology Officer, said: "Our investment in Elemental technology is strategic as it positions us not only as a pay-TV operator, but also as a supplier to a multitude of Pay-TV operators in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and other countries in the Southern Cone."
Whatever the codec combination, the Elemental linear video delivery solution is designed to adapt and grow with the rapidly evolving needs of cable and satellite networks.
