Leverages advanced H.264 compression standard to enable new
applications and services LAS VEGAS, April 16
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an
international communications and information technology company,
has introduced new H.264 broadcast encoding capabilities that
enable lower-bandwidth operation of video services over satellite,
terrestrial and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) delivery
platforms. Harris is launching NetVX(TM) ENC-A21
high-definition/standard-definition (HD/SD) and ENC-A11
standard-definition (SD) encoders, which bring the latest
high-performance H.264 video encoding technology into its
successful NetVX(TM) video networking system. The NetVX(TM) ENC-A21
module is a third-generation compression system architecture
tailored specifically to encoding of HD video under H.264 Main
Profile Level 4.1. The module includes advanced preprocessing,
integrated look-ahead technology, and multi-resolution processing
to support picture in picture and other ancillary streaming
applications in addition to the main HD channel. Supporting the
video, audio and data features for contribution and distribution
applications, along with low-bandwidth delivery applications such
as IPTV, the NetVX ENC-A21 module saves network bandwidth and
satellite transponder cost compared to MPEG-2 systems. The
NetVX(TM) ENC-A11 encoder module features H.264 (MPEG-4 part 10,
Advanced Video Coding) compression technology, implementing the AVC
Main Profile (Level 3.0), including Context Adaptive Binary
Arithmetic Coding (CABAC). A wide range of compressed image
resolutions is supported, including performance at full D1
(720x480x30i). The NetVX ENC-A11 encoder module also features a
full complement of analog and digital video and audio interfaces.
In addition to video processing, the NetVX(TM) ENC-A11 and ENC-A21
modules support audio compression standards prevalent worldwide,
including the new Advanced Audio Coding-High Efficiency (AAC-HE)
compression. Captions and other ancillary signals are processed in
accordance with ATSC, DVB, and other related standards to provide
the highest possible interoperability. These new NetVX(TM) modules
also provide a small form-factor solution for electronic or
satellite newsgathering. About Harris Corporation Harris is an
