...Day 1 of the 2013 NAB Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. According to Kerry Wheeles, Director of Product Marketing, it was amazing to see so many people on hand to check out the company's latest product offerings at Booth N2503 in the North Hall. The Platinum IP3 router generated considerable buzz.

“We’ve built in technology so it can expand without wasting your initial investment. The Platinum IP3 offers three paths: video, audio and data,” Wheeles said. “We’re trying to come up with new solutions to let customers find new ways to make revenue.”

Another popular topic of discussion was the Selenio media convergence platform. Selenio can Deliver the Moment through hitless switching, allowing customers to protect their contribution link for optimal performance. Selenio allows service providers to support content from multiple sources and deliver it over multiple platforms. Full-featured, multichannel video and audio processing, distribution and compression applications are enabled at a size and density scale unprecedented in the marketplace.

Demos of Harris Broadcast's MPEG-2/H.264 4:2:2 (8- and 10-bit) contribution encoder/decoder allow visitors to see how Selenio helps Deliver the Moment with low latency. Prizes may also be won by dropping by the Harris Broadcast booth.
