Ericsson iPlex Video Processing Platform
The iPlex™ is a high density, multi-functional, high performance IPTV video processing platform. It is
designed for the unique requirements of telco operators, and is also suitable for cable and satellite operators
looking to augment their service delivery using IPTV over DSL infrastructure.
The iPlex Video Processing Platform has a compact 1RU form factor with up to six encoded or transcoded
channels, making it an ideal choice for small or large headend deployments alike. The iPlex supports a
comprehensive set of stream processing options, including MPEG-2 SD and MPEG-4 AVC SD and HD
encoding and transcoding. The platform’s modular design allows service providers to upgrade functionality
and add new services incrementally, avoiding costly headend upgrades. The iPlex is also unique in its support
of multiple network interfaces and multiple program outputs, allowing it to be deployed in a mixture of
Ethernet, ATM, PON or FTTN environments.
The iPlex Video Processing Platform offers service providers the most advanced video and audio
compression technology available today and is part of Ericsson’s portfolio of products including receivers,
decoders and descramblers, all seamlessly integrated into a complete headend system with nCompass
Control by Ericsson.
iPlex Overview
Market Leading Performance
Extensive video pre-processing and an array of tools to fine tune the
encoding process allows service providers to offer a superior picture
quality, even with challenging feeds. A proven history of providing
customers with in-field performance improvement upgrades over time
keeps Ericsson’s customers ahead of the market.
Flexible, Modular Architecture Allows for Customization and
Upgradeability
The iPlex does not confine service providers to specific video
architectures. The modular technology of the iPlex allows service
providers to obtain a highly customized system now, and adapt it
incrementally over time to support their changing needs. The iPlex
uses a tray-based system and offers a complete selection of submodules
that offer service providers MPEG-2 SD encoding, MPEG-4
AVC SD and HD encoding, transcoding and Picture-in-Picture (PiP)
service generation simultaneously from the same chassis.
