With thousands of Harmonic encoders delivering video to tens of millions of viewers around the world, Harmonic is a recognized leader in advanced digital video solutions. The Electra™ 1000 Multichannel MPEG-2 VBR Encoder builds upon Harmonic’s video compression expertise, reliability, service and support to provide a high-density encoding solution with outstanding performance and video quality.
The Electra 1000 optimizes compression efficiency with up to four variable bit-rate (VBR) encoders and ten stereo audio pairs in a single rack-unit (1-RU) chassis that is managed through Harmonic’s NMX Digital Service Manager. Using the Electra 1000, service providers can more effectively launch digital video services while minimizing capital and operating expenses.
With its standard IP interfaces, the Electra 1000 can be easily incorporated in Harmonic’s DiviTrackIP™ closed-loop statistical multiplexing solution. DiviTrackIP provides significant operational advantages and cost benefits by connecting encoders and multiplexers via a switched IP network rather than port-to-port ASI interconnects. As a result, any encoder anywhere in the network can efficiently be part of any multiplex, essentially creating a “virtual headend.”
