DTH satellite operator SKY Brasil has deployed Harmonic's (NASDAQ:HLIT) Electra X2 software-based video processing solution to deliver linear HD and SD channels in its new broadcast center.
"Our video delivery needs are growing. When we moved into our new broadcast facility, we needed to partner with a technology provider that would not only simplify our workflow but also guarantee exceptional video quality," said Luis Otavio Marchezetti, engineering vice president at SKY Brasil. "Beyond meeting those requirements, Harmonic provides unparalleled local support. Ultimately, this helps us deliver the very best television experience to customers."
Harmonic's scalable headend solution is designed to support encoding in SD and HD formats and MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC video codecs as well as statistical multiplexing.
Harmonic will showcase its media processing solutions at IBC2017 in September in Amsterdam.
