IP BASED HEAD-ENDS
As IP networks become more video friendly the opportunities for innovation in the digital head-end expand. Regionalisation of content benefits considerably from distributed VBR encoding and reliable content switching. The expertise demanded of the operator and service provider shift from being broadcast centric to a hybrid of broadcast and IP networking.
IMPEQ has been working closely with its partners to ensure that the technology and services we deliver enable the operator to see IP network advances as a valuable opportunity. IMPEQ deployed the world’s first statistical multiplexing encoding system distributed across international boundaries.
Some of the requirements we receive from our customer area not only complex but also geographically challenging. In the case described here we have implemented the system in three countries, all connected via a IP based network.
