Envivio Introduces World’s First Convergence Encoder with Support for All Three Screens of Consumer Video at NAB 2008
Envivio 4Caster C4 Now Supports Mobile TV, Internet TV and IPTV Video Compression on a Single Flexible Platform
This new
release of the 4Caster C4 adds support for high definition encoding, as well as
3GPP and 3GPP2 mobile streaming profiles for unicast mobile TV. These new
features join the product’s existing support for quad channel standard
definition encoding for IPTV and quad channel VGA and QVGA encoding for
Internet TV. Having all compression operations performed by a single, flexible
encoding platform offers operators significant capital savings and operational efficiencies.
“Consumer
demands and operators’ requirements are expanding constantly,” said Julien
Signès, President and CEO of Envivio, “The C4 encoder provides operators with a
compression platform that delivers a full range of services today, but which is
also flexible enough to accommodate these changing requirements in the future..
Our unique Intel-based architecture enables us to evolve our product features
and compression performance rapidly to ensure that Envivio, and our customers,
stay ahead of the competition”.
The 4Caster
C4 is a high-availability hardware platform with an ultra-flexible embedded
software encoding core that enables customers to alter the compression
capabilities of the encoder as needed with a simple software license key. This unique compression architecture offers
levels of service flexibility and encoding performance upgradeability not
possible with traditional hardware-only encoding platforms. Encoding performance can be upgraded with
each software release without the need to buy and install new hardware. New
services, features and device profiles can be added with simple software
upgrades. Operators can even entirely transform an encoder’s usage,
effortlessly changing resolutions, codecs and bandwidths without the need for a
hardware change.
Envivio
will be demonstrating the Three Screens encoding capability of the 4Caster C4
encoder at NAB 2008 from April 14 – 18 2008.
