Contribution/Distribution Solutions
The industry’s best value for high-end Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG) and live sports broadcasting applications, the ViBE
CP3000 (formerly Ellipse 3000) family of contribution encoders combines superior video quality, the highest level of function integration
and ease of use in an economical, compact package. The innovative ViBE CP3000 product family includes the first DSNG encoder with
an integrated broadcast satellite modulator that supports the DVB-S2X and DVB-CID standards, as well as broadcast-quality video
contribution over the open Internet.
ViBE CP3000 encoders support all SD and HD MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC codecs at 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 8- or 10-bit subsampling. Fully firmware
upgradeable, the encoders offer a smooth and cost-effective migration path from MPEG-2 SD 4:2:0 8-bit to AVC HD 4:2:2 10-bit
compression schemes, making them among the most versatile contribution encoders available. 3G SDI input enables encoding of HD
content at resolutions up to 1080p60.
The ViBE® CP6000 contribution platform from Harmonic features superior video compression and is designed for maximum
operational performance. Possessing encode and decode capabilities, the platform is suitable for a variety of applications, including
contribution (backhaul) circuits from occasional venues, such as sports arenas; links between regional studios and a central playout
facility; links from playout centers to regions and affiliates; and primary distribution to broadcast or over-the-top (OTT) headends.
Built on a modular 1-RU chassis, the ViBE CP6000 offers four hot-swappable slots that can be used to host MPEG encoding and
decoding processing boards, or a DVB-S/S2/S2X modulator board for DTH applications. The system’s compact design addresses
applications in which space and power consumption are critical factors. By delivering pristine video quality, the ViBE CP6000 also
improves the end-user viewing experience
Highlights
•
Modular 1-RU chassis with four hot-swappable slots
•
Up to eight SD/HD channels, four 1080p channels or one UHD channel per chassis
•
MPEG board configurable as encoder or decoder
•
From MPEG-2 SD 4:2:0 to MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:2 10-bit, enabled by license
•
Multiplexer up to 400 Mbps
VIBE CP9000 HD/UHD CONTRIBUTION ENCODER
Rapid, reliable contribution of superior-quality UHD content for broadcasters.
The compact and robust ViBE® CP9000 encoder is a perfect fit for your DSNG vehicles, teleports and flyaway packages. An ultra-low
latency encoding mode gets you to less than 100 ms to provide pristine video quality.
You'll get an agile appliance with a unique range of input and output types, like ST 2110 or SRT. A single hardware model with all
features available via software and simple licensing.
