Teracom selects Thomson to deliver HEVC-encoded UHD content

Swedish infrastructure and technical solutions provider, Teracom, has selected a number of Thomson Video Networks solutions to deliver HEVC-encoded Ultra HD video over DVB-T2.

Teracom is using Thomson’s ViBE VS7000 video system, NetProcessor 9030/40 multiplexer, and Sapphire MPEG stream server to demonstrate a complete transmission chain for DVB-T2 delivery of HEVC-encoded video.

“By deploying state-of-the-art technology on our infrastructure to enable DVB-T2 transmission of HEVC-encoded Ultra HD content, we are demonstrating that we are capable of offering our customers the highest quality viewing experience,” said Håkan Axén, product manager at Teracom Group.

“Thomson Video Networks products enable us to leverage HEVC to realize compression efficiencies of up to 50%, which in turn makes it possible to broadcast Ultra HD services to the home.”
