Ericcson... Taking Two Voyager II (SatBroadcasting™)


[SatNews] The Company's Voyager II has seen a positive uptake in Asia.

Two mainstream Chinese broadcasters — Chongqing TV and Qinghai TV — have deployed this newsgathering solution to enable them to deliver nexgen live HD experience and meet the future demands of 3D television.

Qinghai TV is a Mandarin language broadcaster in the Qinghai province, broadcasting to five million consumers in Qinghai. Chongqing TV has more than four million cable subscribers across the 40 counties of Chongqing in southwest China. These deployments further enhance Ericsson’s position as a market leader for TV solutions in the Asia Pacific region.

Ericsson's Voyager II is a radical new concept from the company that invented the modern DSNG solution over 15 years ago and is the first to harness the power of MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:2 encoding with 10-bit precision and hardware support for resolutions up to 1080p/50/60. It also features a fully functional front panel that provides users with maximum control. Based on industry feedback, it introduces a bottom-up re-engineered hardware and menu structure, allowing fast access to the most common SNG operations, easy monitoring of incoming audio and video signals and operator customization.
