The software-based Electra XVM is a fully converged, broadcast-ready, virtualized media processor that integrates real-time encoding, high-quality branding and graphics, and transport stream playout for broadcast and multiscreen services.
At the heart of the Electra XVM is the VOS encoding module, the Harmonic PURE Compression Engine. This encoding technology supports SD and HD MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC, and HEVC codecs over CBR, VBR, and ABR encoding schemes. It allows the Electra XVM to scale up or down based on the required functions, formats, codecs, and encoding schemes to accommodate peaks in demand across broadcast and multiscreen services.
The Electra XVM includes integrated video graphics and branding to help with workflow efficiency in the video transmission chain. Leveraging Harmonic's Spectrum ChannelPort integrated channel playout system, the Electra XVM preserves video quality by removing the need to inject baseband components into the IP workflow. Transport stream playout capabilities include channel origination, linear ad insertion and SCTE automation control.
