EN5980 HD Encoder for SMPTE VC-1/WM9 Series

Achieving the best picture quality at the lowest bit-rate enables operators to broadcast more channels in their available bandwidth over Ethernet, maximising return on investment of this valuable resource. For broadband operators offering TV services over xDSL networks, achieving the lowest bit-rate can provide multiple simultaneous services into the home, or be used to extend the loop length over which TV services can be carried from the DSLAM to the consumers home - maximising return on network investment.

TANDBERG Television has always led the market in provide encoding platforms that give optimum quality at the very lowest possible bit-rates. The EN5980 combines the sophisticated Windows Media® Video with the TANDBERG High Definition Intelligent Compression Engine (HD-ICE). A dedicated hardware and software implementation, based on over 10 years in-house experience of creating high performance real-time encoders.
