A Market in Transition

The broadcast industry is currently undergoing a number of sweeping revisions: to all-digital technology, to rising levels of HD programming, to big-screen TVs, to new DVD formats, to on-demand access, and to the Internet as a distribution means alongside over-air, cable, and satellite networks--to name just some of the changes now in progress. Central to all these improvements is the requirement to move, store, and access audio and video data more efficiently. Since the starting point for all audio/video data efficiency is compression technology, at a fundamental level, the demand for better efficiency translates to a need for better compression technology. Fortunately, better compression technology is now available, in the form of advanced open-standard H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) video encoding. MPEG-4 encoding halves the bit rates achieved by older compression technologies, like MPEG-2, with no noticeable loss in video quality. Telairity's line of reliable, low latency, high compression HD and SD MPEG-4 encoders lets stations move HD cameras out of the studio and into the field for live on-site reporting; it lets networks distribute twice the number of HD + SD channels using current infrastructure; and it lets IPTV providers deliver full SD fomats in as little as 500Kbps and HD formats in as little as 3Mbps of bandwidth.

Committed to Excellence through Innovative Technology

The Telairity T1P2000 video processor is a multi-core vector architecture that provides an astonishing 50 Gigaops of sustained performance. Featuring specialized functions tailed for video compression, very high levels of parallelism (with up to 20 vector and 5 scalar threads running concurrently), and innovative on-chip vector SRAM memory for extremely high throughput, the T1P2000 is at the heart of Telairity's distinctive H.264 encoding technology. Empowered by the T1P2000, Telairity's customized AVClairity encoding software boots up in a few seconds, operates within a few frames of latency, and achieves quality images using relatively few bits. One mark of the exceptional efficiency of Telairity technology encoders is that they dissipate comparatively little heat, when judged against systems based on customized ASICs or a combination of commercial DSPs and FPGAs. This not only means they run more quietly, but also contributes to their outstanding reliability (since heat is a leading cause of electronic component failure).

Immediate Results, Enduring Value

Telairity provides complete encoding solutions in the form of integrated hardware/software platforms with standard SDI inputs and dual ASI and IP outputs. Systems are rigorously tested to insure they operate reliably over a wide range of environmental conditions, and interoperate smoothly with any compliant H.264 decoder a customer may choose. They are fully backed by Telairity's blanket commitment to customer satisfaction, including a one-year unconditional warranty against product failure from any cause, renewable on an annual basis. Since Telairity encoders are fully programmable, it is possible to enhance their reliability, improve their picture quality, and add new features to them all in software. As long as a system remains under warranty, periodic upgrades of Telairity's AVClairity encoding software are available via a simply download over the Internet. This remote update capability not only enhances the usability of Telairity encoders, it also extends their useful lifetime.
