"We're
leveraging the
efficiencies of
HEVC while
applying novel
techniques such
as real-time
adaptive bitrate
control and our
unique
auto-transport
technology where
resolution can
be changed on
the fly, within
the
transmission,"
said
Bill Nardi,
VP broadcast
integration and
global support
at Dejero.
"Using HEVC,
Dejero can
enable video
transmission
with as little
bandwidth as 1
Mb/s, or even
less, and still
deliver good
picture
quality."
The first two
products to
support Dejero's
HEVC technology
are the Dejero
PathWay
rack-mounted
encoder/transmitter,
and the Dejero
WayPoint
receiver. The 1U
PathWay is
designed for
installation in
vehicles or
fixed locations.
It's available
in two different
configurations:
an Ethernet
configuration
that includes
two Ethernet
ports for
satellite (Ku-
and Ka-band,
BGAN) or wired
IP network
(LAN/WAN)
connectivity;
and an Ethernet
and cellular
configuration
offering up to
six cellular
connections.
PathWay
supports both
HEVC and AVC
(H.264)
encoding,
providing
automatic
detection and
immediate
backwards
compatibility
with existing or
legacy AVC-based
Dejero
receivers. The
encoder/transmitter,
which contains
internal Wi-Fi,
is also
compatible with
the recently
launched Dejero
CellSat blended
cellular and
satellite
solution.
WayPoint is a
four
output 1U receiver,
that supports
HEVC decodes to
SDI or IP
(MPEG-TS over
IP) playout
workflows. It
also supports
AVC decoding of
feeds from
legacy
transmitters. It
comes with dual
redundant power
supplies and
data redundant
RAID storage
capabilities.
"By
supporting HEVC
compression, we
can further
enhance picture
quality when
broadcasting
with limited
bandwidth and
deliver a better
viewer
experience,"
concluded Nardi.
Both PathWay
and WayPoint can
be managed
centrally from
Dejero Control,
the company's
cloud-based
management
system that is
accessible from
a browser.
