Harmonic (NASDAQ:HLIT) announced that the company's Spectrum X media server system, Electra X media processor and Electra XVM virtualized media processor will support the SMPTE ST 2022-6 standard for encapsulating uncompressed (SDI) video signals for transport over IP networks.
In defining a uniform data-mapping format to support HD-SDI and 3G-SDI video signal formats (including audio, video and ancillary data), SMPTE ST 2022-6 "Transport of High Bit Rate Media Signals over IP Networks (HBRMT)" became the first standard to enable products from different manufacturers to send and receive high bit rate video signals over IP networks.
At IBC 2015 in Amsterdam later this month, Harmonic will showcase its media over IP solutions for both compressed and uncompressed workflows, as well as its line of video production and delivery solutions for the broadcast, pay TV, and new media environments.
