San Diego, CA - DVEO, the new broadcast division of
CMI, will proudly introduce HD Maestro at the 2004 NAB. HD
Maestro is capable of encoding MPEG-2 streams at 50 Megabits
per second at
HD-resolutions, well above industry requirements for ATSC.
The HD Maestro is based on a high-end Dell Power Edge 7150
Server that offers complete connectivity as well as numerous
expansion options, HD Maestro supports encoding of all major
ATSC resolutions to future proof your investment in HD. Also
Included with HD Maestro is over 250 Gigabytes of high-speed
storage with high-speed Gigabit I/0.
The core technology of the HD Maestro is LSI Logic’s HD encoding
solution, the HDTVxpress™ Compressor, based on the LSI Logic
DoMiNo™ network media processor. DVEO has integrated DoMiNo
technology into the Dell Server to deliver true high-definition,
real-time, hardware-based, MPEG-2 encoding. The Transport
Stream Output can either be saved to the on-board high-capacity
hard drives or directly output via DVB ASI or TCP/IP.
“LSI Logic’s encoding solutions deliver the highest quality
video due to its proven technology that has enabled a wide
variety of authoring and broadcasting solutions over the past
decade,” Bob Saffari, Senior Director of Marketing for Advance
Video Products for LSI Logic’s Broadband Entertainment Division
stated. Saffari went on to state, “Leveraging the HDTVxpress,
DVEO can now deliver solutions that make the development of
high-definition content in a PC environment easier and more
cost-effective.”
“High Definition Television is here and is now a powerful
driver for the transformation of television from analog to
an all digital format” Stated Laszlo Zoltan, Product Manager
for CMI. Zoltan went on to state, “The market for HD encoders
is growing very rapidly. The HD Maestro provides an easy-to-use
platform to re-purpose uncompressed content for HD use over
satellite, cable and terrestrial distribution networks.”
“Other HD encoders are rack-mounted appliances designed
to operate in line at re purposing facilities and do not offer
local storage or the connectivity of the PC-based HD Maestro.
DVEO hopes the HD Maestro will capture the HD encoder markets
at post houses, cable operators, government sites, and corporate
facilities that have the requirement to stream HD content,”
stated Zoltan.
