today announced that its BE8100 H.264 HD encoder has been
selected by John Lay Solutions AG of Switzerland for use at
the UEFA Euro2008.
TM being hosted at St. Jakob-Park stadium
in Basel Switzerland. St. Jakob-Park stadium is the site for
Switzerland's matches against the Czech Republic, Turkey,
and Portugal, as well as for two quarter-final matches and
a semi-final match. The BE8100 supplies video through a DVB
modulator to an in-stadium network of set-top boxes connected
to displays in private boxes, VIP lounges, the press room
and other venues throughout the stadium.
"With the BE8100, we can provide fans at the stadium
with vivid high-definition video of all the on-field action
in real time," said Roland Gut, the lead system integrator
for Infra-Com Swiss AG, responsible for installing the encoders
at the Park.
"Since we had very little time to get the entire system
working before the opening kickoff, we needed a highly dependable
encoder that is simple to install and use, backed by a factory
team able to quickly help to integrate the system within the
network of independently-sourced modulators and set-top boxes
already installed. Basically, we needed a system you could
just turn on and have it immediately start encoding at set
values. The BE8100 from Telairity proved to be a perfect choice
for our requirements."
DVC Digitalvideo Computing GmbH, a leading
supplier for the digital video, presentation, and HDTV markets,
is the European reseller for all of Telairity's HD and SD
real-time H.264 encoding platforms. "Our agreement with
DVC provides a strong sales channel for Telairity's encoder
products into European markets where the DVC name is recognized
for technical excellence and superior customer service,"
said Howard Sachs, president and CEO of Telairity.
"Telairity's encoding platform is the
industry's best-in-class solution for real-time video compression,
based on latest H.264 compression standard," said Harald
Näther, general manager of DVC. "We're delighted
to offer this outstanding encoder to our customers throughout
Europe."
Telairity's H.264 encoding platforms are
an essential technology for building cost-effective SDTV and
HDTV services that deliver low-latency, high-quality video
at typical bit rates of 1.5 Mbps to 3 Mbps for SD pictures,
and 6 Mbps to 12 Mbps for HD pictures. Their low bit rates
enable new HD services to be deployed in the same channels
currently used for SD services, or for more SD services to
be deployed within the same bandwidth, providing operators
an opportunity to increase revenues by offering either upgraded
or additional services.
Fully software programmable and scalable,
Telairity's encoding platforms allow for easy feature and
functionality upgrades over time. They offer H.264/AVC compression
technology at the most advanced level defined for 4:2:0 encoding,
the Fidelity Range Extension (FRext) High Profile standard.
Their exceptional reliability, operational simplicity, industry-leading
encode latency of 150ms, unique "instant on" capability,
and superior cost-effectiveness make Telairity systems the
encoders of choice for a wide variety of applications, including
not only private broadcast networks at sports arenas, but
also major cable operations, public and commercial.
