AMSTERDAM, Sept. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC 2011 -- Using
the new Motorola ST-6000 series from Motorola Mobility, Inc.
(NYSE:MMI), video service providers will be able to significantly
reduce overall operational and capital costs associated with
delivering the highest quality video to consumers. The new ST-6000
series high density multichannel MPEG2/MPEG4 video transcoder
allows video service providers to offer a broader range of
high-quality video services to support evolving network needs and
headend requirements.

Delivering the same levels of premium video quality associated
with single channel encoder products, the ST-6000 maintains the
highest quality video per channel in three, six or even twelve
channel configurations. Compared to single channel
transcoding solutions, the ST-6000 also offers several other key
benefits including bandwidth savings, video thumbnail generation
and an 80 percent reduction in power consumption and 90 percent
savings in overall space requirements.
As service providers look to increase their channel offerings
and want to protect their investments they can migrate channels
from SD to HD video via software license, thereby avoiding costly
hardware replacements. The ST-6000 is capable of decoding both
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 to support the ingestion of broadcast standards
and of encoding MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 content to support set-tops
currently deployed in the home. Additionally, the ST-6000
transcodes audio signals independently of video, resulting in
bandwidth savings of up to 352kbps per video channel.
"The Motorola ST-6000 offers a range of configurations to suit
different requirements, allowing service providers to spend less
per channel without sacrificing video quality," said Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president, Network
Infrastructure, Motorola Mobility, Inc. "Motorola is committed to
helping video service providers drive revenues, extend product
lifecycles and increase quality and choice, and the ST-6000
demonstrates how this can be achieved without increasing bandwidth
or incurring more infrastructure costs."
Other features of the transcoder include audio transcoding to
Dolby Pulse or HE-AAC – a potential reduction of audio bit rates by
as much as 50 percent and up to 12 low resolution proxy "thumbnail"
channels which can be used for Picture-in-Picture applications.
The ST-6000 series transcoder is expected to be available in the
first half of 2012.
