Our FTA digital headend enables the LCO to preserve their investment in MPEG2-only set top boxes by transcoding the newer H.264-only satellite programming into MPEG2
Mumbai, India (PRWEB) November 04, 2015
Exhibiting at the 24th Annual SCaT India show in Mumbai this week, MultiVirt India Pvt Ltd announces the availability of a new, low-cost Free-To-Air (FTA) headend solution that supports over 70 digital channels. Powered by VideoPropulsion® (OTC:VPTV) high-density transcoders and encrypting QAM technologies, the new low-cost headend represents a significant breakthrough in providing cost-effective solutions designed specifically for local cable operators (LCO) in India.
The MultiVirt FTA headend utilizes reliable Hewlett-Packard (HP) servers and VideoPropulsion MPEG stream processing modules. The FTA headend is capable of selectively receiving over 70 channels of H.264 programming via DVB-S2 satellite, transcoding from H.264 to MPEG2, encrypting the programs, then multiplexes and modulates for output over QAM on a COAX network for delivery to DVB-C standard set top boxes (STB). The appliance uses common, off-the-shelf DVB-S2 receiver cards and VideoPropulsion’s XC10 MPEG transcoder card and the company’s QN12LPe QAM modulator card that is DVB-C (ITU-T J.83 Annex A) compliant. The QAM card also provides encryption/scrambling of all services so they are compatible with the LCO’s chosen DVB-CI. The solution is in compliance with India’s digital television mandates.
“In just a few short months using VideoPropulsion’s technology, we have architected a very reliable and cost-effective FTA headend solution to address the needs of the LCO”, said Rakesh Gupta, Founder & Director at MultiVirt. “Our FTA digital headend enables the LCO to preserve their investment in MPEG2-only set top boxes by transcoding the newer H.264-only satellite programming into MPEG2”.
