(EON: Enhanced Online News)--NTT Electronics is pleased to announce that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has retained HVE9100S video encoder for the migration to AVC/H.264 of their video contribution network.
HVE9100S is a multi-formats AVC/H.264 & MPEG-2 HD/SD contribution encoder, using state-of-the-art core ASIC designed in-house by NTT Electronics. Our unique technology provides unrivaled encoding performance in latency and always keeping the video quality at its highest level.
More than two hundred NTT encoders are already in operation on the EBU Network, and the new deployment will allow the EBU a major migration to AVC/H.264 for the 2012 sport events like the London Olympics, helping the organization to maintain its competitive edge in a commercial market.
"Following extensive testing we have selected the HVE9100S as the primary encoder for the coming major events including the London Olympics," said Paolo Pusterla, Head of Strategy and Business Development and Procurement at EBU Network & News.
Graham Warren, EBU Director of Network & News also added, "We believe the most essential factor for the EBU and its Members in terms of operation is the reliability and stability. The quality of HVE9100S has been already proved in the past coverage of big events such as the Vancouver Olympics and the 2010 FIFA World Cup."
"We have worked together with the EBU starting from 2008 Beijing Olympics and ever since then, we have been able to deliver the cutting edge technologies to global viewers," said Hisashi Kasahara, Managing Director and Head of Digital Video Equipment Department at NTT Electronics. "We will continue to lead the market with our never ending improvement policy to satisfy broadcasters and viewers demands in HD quality."
