SAN JOSE, Calif., April 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- At the 2018
NAB Show, April 9-12 in Las Vegas, Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT), the
worldwide leader in video delivery technology and services, will
showcase its new end-to-end UHD HDR solution for live sports
streaming. The solution features Harmonic's ViBE® CP9000
contribution encoder for ingest into the cloud and VOS™ 360 media
processing SaaS for encoding, packaging, origin server capabilities
and OTT distribution. Using the new solution, broadcasters, content
owners and service providers can deliver live sports content to any
screen with superior quality of experience (QoE), low latency and
significant cost savings.
"UHD HDR is perfect for live sports content because it gives
viewers a taste of the action in stunning clarity and detail.
However, the challenge is delivering that content for OTT with
latency comparable to broadcast," said Tim
Warren, senior vice president and chief technology officer,
video business at Harmonic. "Harmonic's unique end-to-end workflow
for UHD HDR live streaming offers full support for innovative
technologies like cloud, content-aware encoding and the new CMAF
standard, enabling a 5- to 6-second end-to-end latency compared
with the industry norm of 30 to 35 seconds. We look forward to
empowering broadcasters, content owners and service providers as
they champion better live sports experiences while boosting
business agility."
Harmonic's VOS 360 solution offers several key features such as
UHD HDR encoding via the next-gen PURE Compression Engine™; EyeQ™
content-aware encoding for HEVC; and UHD live content, packaging
and low latency comparable to live broadcast based on compliance
with the CMAF specification. By enabling users to leverage the
agility, flexibility and scalability of the cloud, VOS 360 SaaS
speeds up the launch of new sports channels while minimizing
capital and operational expenses.
Harmonic will showcase its OTT solutions portfolio at the 2018
NAB Show, April 9-12, in Las Vegas at booth SU810. Further information
