High-end satellite delivery of HD content offers broadcast
community long-awaited alternative to fibre
Regulatory News:
Eutelsat Communications (Paris:ETL) (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL)
and V-Nova Ltd. are unveiling at this year’s IBC a new
satellite-delivered studio-quality HD contribution solution that
for the first time offers broadcasters and video service providers
a true alternative or back-up to fibre in terms of quality and
bandwidth-efficiency.
The new solution leverages V-Nova’s PERSEUS™ Pro technology in
order to replicate typical fibre-based video contribution links,
including full colour resolution and individual frame compression,
and combines them with satellite delivery that adds the benefits of
ubiquity and flexibility. This allows broadcasters to contribute
studio-quality feeds, essential to maintain pristine quality, and
also to benefit from editing capabilities from any location. These
features are combined with compression that enables 80 Mbps of HD
4:2:2 10 bit video feeds to be uplinked by off-the-shelf flyaway
antennas and routed through a standard 36 MHz transponder on
Eutelsat’s global satellite fleet.
Using recognised broadcast industry metrics and with independent
third-party support, Eutelsat and V-Nova have completed an
exhaustive quality assessment of PERSEUS Pro via Eutelsat satellite
capacity versus reference compression standards normally used via
fibre. The assessment validated the superior quality of PERSEUS
versus legacy contribution codecs at rates typical of satellite
delivery, completing previous assessments which had demonstrated an
average 30% bandwidth gain of PERSEUS Pro versus JPEG2000.
Michel Azibert, Eutelsat Chief Commercial and Development
Officer, said: “The innovation we are presenting at IBC this week
with V-Nova gives broadcasters and video service providers a true
alternative to fibre and ensures that no compromises need be taken
for studio-quality HD contribution of premium sports, cultural and
news events. In working with V-Nova we can offer players in the
broadcast industry a cost-effective and easy-to-deploy solution
that makes no concessions on quality.”
Guido Meardi, CEO and Co-Founder of V-Nova, said: “I am
delighted to see the results of the hard work of our combined
teams, following the coverage of UEFA Euro 2016 and the extensive
tests of the past year. This solution proves that our compression
technology, PERSEUS, is a truly cross-media codec, bringing
tangible benefits across multiple markets including satellite
contribution. We are proud of our relationship with Eutelsat, and
look forward to working together to help broadcasters and operators
bring higher quality services to consumers”.
