RENNES, France -- Thomson Video Networks has launched the ViBE CP6000, a dedicated multiformat high-performance platform for contribution of live video. With its modular implementation of the optimal MPEG contribution codecs, an unprecedented eight HD channels per 1RU chassis, and industry-leading compression performance, the CP6000 is a substantial advance for contribution applications.
Developed as a multiformat system for broadcasters, video carriers, network operators, and telecoms, the ViBE CP6000 provides high-quality transport of live HD and SD content over IP or satellite contribution networks. Offering a far greater density than comparable products, the CP6000's capacity of up to eight HD channels in a single chassis is a key advantage for live broadcasters, saving space and lowering energy consumption.
Based on the ATCA telecom standard with high backplane throughput to address future applications, the ViBE CP6000 architecture is a future-proof contribution platform designed to optimize customer investment and minimize the cost of ownership. It is ready for 3Gbps SDI applications (1080p50/59.97), and its dual-channels-per-module architecture easily addresses 3D applications. Hot-swappable modules allow for instant exchange without disturbing channels in use, a feature that is key to the system's easy setup, expansion, and maintenance.
