Elemental Accelerates Software-Defined Video Momentum at NAB 2015

PORTLAND, Ore., April 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Elemental Technologies, the leading supplier of software-defined video solutions for multiscreen content delivery, today announced plans to showcase industry-leading applications and technologies at NAB 2015 that enable new services, operational efficiencies and revenue opportunities for broadcasters, content owners, pay TV operators and enterprise customers.

Elemental will feature its software-defined video solutions in booth SU2724 at the LVCC April 13 - 16. The company will highlight new products and capabilities and will also demonstrate integration with numerous industry partners on the show floor, including Akamai, BrightSign, Cisco, EMC Isilon, Google Widevine, IBM, RED Digital Cinema, Red Bull Media House, Spideo and Zixi.

Application and technology demonstration highlights include:

Unified Infrastructure – Software-defined video solutions that allow operators to implement video infrastructure in a unified headend to support both traditional broadcast and multiscreen content delivery in a single architecture. This approach offers operational efficiencies for video distribution that fixed hardware infrastructure simply cannot match.

Linear Video Delivery – Through integrated high-quality encoding, statistical multiplexing and advanced system management, operators are able to extract more bandwidth capacity from their networks, ensure end-to-end redundancy and reduce total cost of ownership for linear video workflows.

4K and Ultra HD – Real-time 10 bit 4Kp60 HEVC encoding generated from a single RU appliance and on demand origination of file-based 4K workflows will be featured as well as live 4K streaming content to Samsung Smart TVs in the MPEG-DASH format over the Akamai CDN.

Multiscreen Monetization – Content-aware ad insertion and replacement, just-in-time packaging, just-in-time DRM, live-to-VOD and other time-shifted TV services allow video distributors to realize new revenue opportunities.

Virtualization and Cloud Services – See how software-defined video solutions help operators rapidly deploy new services and reduce capital and operating expenses with virtual machine or cloud infrastructure that dynamically scales up with demand.

High Availability – Redundancy for individual encoding, statmux, origin and management nodes, as well as redundancy for content inputs and outputs will be shown in appliance, virtualized and cloud-based deployments. Seamless failover across all functions provides complete peace of mind for operators.
