Envivio Enhances Ultra HD 4K Encoding Software
April 03 2014 - 04:05PM
Envivio (Nasdaq:ENVI), a leading provider of software-based video
processing and delivery solutions, today announced a new
multiprocessor software approach for real-time 4K Ultra HD HEVC
(H.265) compression using Envivio Muse™ encoding software. By
distributing HEVC encoding across multiple server nodes, this
architecture is designed to provide the power to perform high
quality Ultra HD compression on industry-standard servers—enabling
seamless migration to HEVC and cost-effective, scalable deployment
in the datacenter and cloud.
Muse Ultra HD is designed to encode either one 4Kp60
(progressive video at 60 frames per second) or two simultaneous
4Kp30 (30 frames per second) video signals in HEVC format using a
2-RU Intel-based server. These services can be delivered to Ultra
HD-capable devices, including the brand new Ultra HD big screens
that have been gaining consumer momentum since their launch at CES
this year.
Ultra HD provides stunning video quality with four times as many
pixels as today's 1080p HDTV, twice the frame rate, and a broader
color range with the new BT 2020 standard. The HEVC standard
reduces bandwidth consumption compared to MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) by 30
to 50 percent, improving the video experience and reducing cost of
operations for both Ultra HD big-screen services and existing
mobile or over-the-top TV services. Envivio's software-based
architecture radically simplifies the migration from MPEG-2 or AVC
to HEVC, enabling a seamless transition to the new codec
technology.
"Ultra HD gives consumers a much richer and higher quality
experience in the home for premium video services such as
high-profile sports events, and HEVC is a game-changing technology
quickly gaining traction in the market," said Julien Signès,
Envivio's president and CEO. "Using our HEVC compression algorithm
and leveraging the latest processor enhancements from Intel, we are
able to perform demanding 4K video processing while delivering
outstanding quality in a software-based architecture, reducing
CAPEX and OPEX for both existing and new services."
Envivio Muse was the first software-based product designed to
produce multiple output formats from a single input using a
standard Intel-based server, allowing operators to scale their
headends with the ever increasing number of formats required for
distribution. Today, Muse can not only scale with the number of
input and output channels, but with this latest enhancement, it can
also scale the resolutions and the frame rate across multiple
servers to deliver the most demanding formats, such as Ultra HD
HEVC. This provides operators with greatly improved flexibility and
scalability, and lowers the costs associated with their video
operations.
The HEVC compression technology developed by Envivio is tailored
to provide the highest video quality on any screen, from mobile
resolutions for smartphones to Ultra HD. The Envivio Muse Ultra HD
encoder leverages Envivio's experience in developing previous codec
standards including MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and MPEG-2.
To ensure end-to-end interoperability for service provider
customers and a smooth transition to HEVC, Envivio is working with
leading semiconductor and chipset manufacturers including Broadcom,
MStar, Sigma Designs, STMicroelectronics and ViXS to deliver Ultra
HD video to compatible devices and TV sets.
For the NAB 2014 demonstration, Envivio and ViXS Systems have
collaborated to deliver 4Kp60 content encoded with the Muse
software and decoded with the newest ViXS professional grade
chipset that supports the HEVC standard up to Main 10 Profile.
Envivio's Ultra HD demonstrations will be on display April
7-10 at NAB 2014 in Las Vegas, booth SU6202.
More than 300 content and service providers around the globe
have selected Envivio to power their multi-screen and pay TV
services. Visit www.envivio.com to learn more about TV without
