By providing video content and service providers with increased operational flexibility, scalability and efficiency, VOS makes it easier and more cost-effective to deliver video content to a wide range of devices while maintaining exceptional video quality. At the heart of VOS is the Harmonic PURE Compression Engine(TM), an encoding module that provides groundbreaking video quality and bandwidth efficiency for SD, HD and Ultra HD formats MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC compression over CBR and VBR and ABR streams. The first products to take advantage of the VOS platform are the Electra(TM) XVM virtualized media processor and ProMedia(R) X Origin multiscreen media server.
Enabling the key functions of video delivery infrastructure - including ingest, compression, graphics and branding, packaging and delivery - on common hardware platforms, the VOS architecture leverages IT economics to enable content and service providers to simplify workflows, maximize flexibility, gain operational efficiency and lower the total cost of ownership. The Harmonic VOS(TM) is a powerful software-based, fully virtualizable platform that unifies the entire media processing chain for broadcast and multiscreen distribution. Harmonic VOS(TM) Virtualized Video Delivery Platform By providing video content and service providers with a fully integrated, cloud-based playout, graphics and encoding solution, the Harmonic VMA enables them to create and deliver live linear channels to any device faster, with a lower TCO and superior video quality. The VMA, supported by Harmonic's Electra XVM virtualized media processor and the Electra X family of advanced media processors, has been adopted by service providers and broadcast automation vendors, including Pebble Beach Systems, Dayang Technology Development Inc. The Harmonic PURE Compression Engine powers Electra X3 with superior video quality at minimum bandwidth, allowing up to 10 HD AVC channels to fit in a single broadcast QAM.īy providing service providers with a unified video compression headend for all screens, Electra X3 enables them to meet subscribers' quality expectations while offering complete investment protection by allowing them to adapt to innovative new technologies as they become available, including UHD content delivery to both first and second screens.Īnother key highlight at BIRTV 2015 will be the Harmonic VMA, an open application control interface for broadcast automation control of the company's VOS(TM) virtualized media processing platform. As the world's first encoder to support graphics, branding and playout functionalities, as well as industry-leading video quality and full-frame UHD/4K live encoding, Electra(TM) X3 revolutionizes video delivery.įeaturing real-time encoding of SD, HD and UHD/4K media, integrated high-quality branding and graphics, and reliable transport stream playout, Electra X3 offers content and service providers market-leading video quality, unparalleled function integration and increased operational flexibility in a cost-effective appliance.Īt the heart of Electra X3 is the Harmonic PURE Compression Engine(TM), an advanced encoding technology that supports SD, HD and UHD formats and MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC codecs for broadcast and OTT multiscreen delivery.
