Telairity Semiconductor is showing (Stand 1.101) a combined hardware/software solution claimed to make it far easier for broadcasters to convert HD video footage to H.264 HD ready for transmission.
The home-grown combination sees Telairity’s AVClairity encoding software paired with the company’s new dedicated H.264 HD processor, the Telairity 1 – claimed to be the first processor designed for HD broadcast video.
Commenting on the solution, Howard Sachs – the company’s founder, president and CEO – said, “The ability to support real-time, high-definition video processing is compounded by two challenges: HD video has six times as much data as standard definition (SD) video, and the next-generation AVC (H.264) video compression standard is at least four times as computationally intensive as the MPEG-2 compression standard.
“Telairity-1 and AVClairity were designed from the ground up to meet these challenges as the H.264 encoding engines for next-generation broadcast encoders, video servers, and video edit and authoring systems”.
