As the popularity of non-traditional TV services continues to grow, so does demand for the availability of any video on any device. To keep up with these ever-increasing expectations, service providers need cost-effective, high-quality solution as flexible as consumer demand.
Building on the award-winning architecture of the ProStream 1000 Stream Processor, ACE is the industry’s first truly converged high-density, high-quality platform for advanced processing and delivery of HD and SD, MPEG-2 and AVC video and audio. ACE allows cost-effective deployment of next-generation HD and SD services at unmatched broadcast quality, all in a single RU.
Highly scalable, ACE supports up to 60 SD or 20 HD services per 1-RU, while still maintaining a low carbon footprint. The power-efficient design requires only 10W per HD channel, and less than 3W per SD channel, saving energy and reducing operating expenses.
