The reconfigurable architecture, multichannel and multiplatform, IP video encoding, Trans4M, from Envivio, allows you to bring audiovisual content to mobile television receivers, internet television and IPTV, at extremely low bandwidths over any network.
Envivio, provider of solutions for IP video convergence on mobile devices o HD, presented the first reconfigurable architecture, multi-channel and cross-platform, IP video encoding for IPTV, internet television and mobile television services. Trans4M architecture enables service providers reconfigure Envivio's Trans4M-based encoders, to generate video streams that support three screens video: televisions, computers and mobile devices. Envivio will demonstrate the Trans4M architecture at IBC2007 in its booth #4260.
The Trans4M architecture offers the possibility to reconfigure an encoder in real time with the in order to add new features and functions to it, without need to replace units already installed in the field. The Trans4M-based encoders offer trans4M-based encoders service more options and flexibility in relation to the services they can offer and the types of screens to the which ones can come. The first Envivio encoder you use this new Trans4M architecture is the 4Caster C4, which supports both IPTV and internet television, in its implementation initial.
Service providers want to bring IP video to different devices while they want to keep costs low and reduce risks. Our Trans4M it makes that possible. For example, a service provider that you use the C4 with Trans4M architecture can count on all four ingestion channels aimed at set-up IPTV definition boxes standard or a video stream mix for set-top boxes and computers for Internet television, Julien said Signès, president and CEO of Envivio.
Even more incredible, a service provider may decide to change your mix of target devices at any time and reconfigure the C4 after it has been put on the air to offer channels and capacity for the most popular video devices, he added Jean-Pierre Henot, CTO of Envivio.
By facilitating the dissemination of mobile TV, IPTV and Internet TV from the same Trans4M-based encoder, service providers they will need to invest in a single header and not in three, and in only a redundancy system and a management system, resulting in significant savings. The use of a coding platform to provide these three services also reduces the risk of problems related to interoperability and device compatibility. For those suppliers who intend to offer only one or two of the services allowed by architecture, encoders Trans4M based give them the flexibility to add the other service later by simply expanding your existing header or reconfigure existing Trans4M-based encoders.
More options and more versatility, equals less costs and less risk. That's what is about the Trans4M architecture and this is what the providers of services need, Signès said.
Currently, the encoder of 4Caster C4 IP video enables service providers to offer both IPTV and internet television from the same coder.
