The new system delivers a host of performance and operational benefits for DTH satellite, cable, and terrestrial operators, as well as for content aggregators and distributors. The TANDBERG EN8100 is the industry’s nexgen MPEG-2 encoder, based on in-house developed technologies and encoding algorithms. It has been designed from the ground-up to deliver revolutionary encoding performance in a high density, low power (6 channels in 1 RU) chassis. The EN8100 cuts MPEG-2 SD bandwidth requirements by at least 15 percent, even in legacy STB operations, and delivers a step change in performance that makes a meaningful difference to business cases. The TANDBERG EN8100 opens up new opportunities for legacy service providers around the world. It enables operators to achieve higher picture quality in the same bitrate, which is ideal for making SD MPEG-2 look acceptable on large flat panel TVs, and to profit from additional revenue from their existing infrastructure. The new MPEG-2 SD EN8100 system complements the existing TANDBERG Television encoder family and is built around the TANDBERG iSIS 8000® to deliver a complete headend solution including Reflex™ statistical multiplexing. The EN8100 will ship in June 2009.
