ADVANTAGES OF USING H.264 FOR CONTRIBUTION APPLICATIONS :

• Whether it be for news gathering, live sports, or other applications, our MPEG-4 contribution solution is an innovative alternative to legacy MPEG-2 compression, bringing bandwidth consumption down to 50% with improved video quality.
  
  
• When used in conjunction with DVBS2 over satellite, our MPEG-4 solution can reduce band width use by 60%, thereby increasing the number of services than can be multiplexed over a single uplink.
  
  
• When it comes to contribution applications over IP, our MPEG-4 4:2:0 solutions consume half as much bandwidth as MPEG-2, in effect doubling the potential number of HD services.Our MPEG-4 4:2:2 solutions provide high quality video requiring only a third of the bandwidth needed by JPEG2000.

The constraints of 24-hour scheduling, restricted choice of channels, and limited shelf-space are gone. New technology has introduced new ways of consuming video through multiple applications and formats.

Video on Demand (VOD) is becoming a primary target market segment for IPTV broadcasters. In order to provide their programming to the widest-possible number of subscribers, broadcasters need to guarantee high quality within bandwidth cost constraints, be it cable or DSL.

For addressing the opportunities presented by new applications such Online Media, IPTV broadcasters require reliable content management solutions.
