Systems Inc. (Montreal, Canada), the world leader in performance
video encoding technology, today announces that Obiteljski
Radio I Televizija Valentino (orv / otv) has deployed HaiVision’s
hai1000 H.264 high performance encoders and decoder to distribute
radio and television broadcasts from origination studios to
transmission points. The system was designed, integrated,
and commissioned by WMC-DIGITAL based in Zagreb.
“HaiVision’s systems provide excellent
audio and video quality within the 2 Mbps bandwidth budget
that we have defined,” explains Vlado Petrovic, president
of WMC-DIGITAL. “What is really perfect is that within
that bandwidth each stream has one television and one radio
channel. As well, HaiVision systems are natively bi-directional
(encode/decode) so ultimately we can broadcast / backhaul
in either direction.”
“WMC-DIGITAL is an integrator of the
highest caliber,” adds Mirko Wicha, HaiVision’s
CEO. “They had an aggressive vision for the project and
executed flawlessly.”
HaiVision’s H.264 products are gaining
broad acceptance within the broadcaster community because
of their price / performance; HaiVision products typically
provide over twice the performance (measured in latency) at
half the price of tradition broadcast encoders.
As well, broadcasters are now looking to
move from high latency satellite contribution towards interactive
media infrastructures that take advantage of low cost terrestrial
bandwidth. Within these next generation contribution networks,
broadcasters can eliminate the inherent latency of remote
interviews while at the same time reducing their costs dramatically.
HaiVision is a leader in the development
of H.264 encoding platforms, and has 4 levels of H.264 hardware
solutions:
OSCAR – for the most cost effective
QuickTime compatible streaming
TASMAN – for performance oriented streaming and
communications
hai1000 – for carrier grade multi stream interactive
applications such as telepresence
MAKO-HD – the fastest codec for interactive high
definition (up to 1080p) achieving a remarkable 60 millisecond
end to end latency
