FRONTIERS, a provider of HD video-over-IP
transport technology, has developed and released an ultra-compact MPEG2 encoder HD c3000e, which can be integrated with a commercial HD camera.
The new HD-compatible encoder unit is equipped with a compact, lightweight, ultra-low delay MPEG2 encoder core, which can be attached to a wireless HD relay camera. The HD c3000e has also achieved ultra-low delay of around 10 msec. Thanks to its compact size and light weight it can be attached to a wireless relay camera.
The HD c3000e is capable of encoding digital signal, which is input via SDI I/F, in MPEG2 format and outputting the stream data to ASI I/F in TS format, etc. Audio is compatible with linear PCM (SMPTE302M compliant). MPEG2 allows video transport with higher image quality and less bandwidth compared to JPEG2000.
FRONTIERS new encoding unit boasts several key features such as a compact, lightweight and power-saving design. The company informs that the delay through the encoder and the decoder is only 10 mm sec. The case of HD c3000e is made of material with high thermal conductivity and employs a fan-less, drip-proof and dust-proof design.
The production of HD c3000e has already begun and FRONTIERS plans to begin delivery soon. The company expects that as transition to digital broadcast increases the HD-compatible HD c3000e will be widely used at scenes requiring mobile shooting, such as sports broadcasting, concerts and other events, and news reporting.
Established in 1996 in Sagamihara, Japan, FRONTIERS mainly develops, manufactures and sells video transmission equipment based on optical communications and IP technology. The solutions have already been widely deployed at international events such as the Winter Olympics in Turin and EXPO Aichi Japan.
