High Efficiency Video Encoder Enables Broadcasters To Deliver 4K Content at Low Bit Rates Over Unmanaged Networks

SAINT-GRÉGOIRE, France — September 1, 2015 — Haivision, a global provider of video contribution systems, announced today the launch of DMNG HE4000, a new HEVC 4K video encoder designed to optimize the distribution of 4K content over unmanaged networks. Using the high-efficiency video encoder for contribution applications, broadcasters can deliver crystal-clear 4K, HD, or SD video content at low bit rates over IP networks, even in volatile network environments. Haivision will demonstrate the DMNG HE4000 at IBC2015, Sept. 11-15, at stand 2.A29 in Amsterdam, and is expected to ship in Q4 2015.

“In order to deliver live video content in the most efficient and affordable way possible, broadcasters need next-generation encoding technologies,” said Philippe Gonon, Advanced R&D manager at Haivision. “Our new DMNG HE4000 video encoder supports HEVC compression in addition to a unique combination of contribution protocols, ensuring smooth delivery of live video content over unmanaged networks, while keeping broadcasters’ capital and operational costs low.”

The DMNG HE4000 features a compact design that reduces power costs and space requirements, enabling broadcasters to cost-effectively address the growing consumer demand for superior quality live and on-demand video content.

The 1RU HE4000 encoder features Haivision SafeStreams® technology, bonding together IP networks, to assure the delivery of live transmissions even in the midst of unpredictable and unmanaged network conditions, enabling broadcasters to provide seamless news, and sports coverage from any location around the world. The HEVC 4K contribution encoder is fully integrated with the DMNG Manager and DMNG Studio receiver to simplify video monitoring, management, and reception.

The HE4000 is part of Haivision’s Digital Mobile News Gathering family, which enables broadcasters to capture and broadcast live 4K, HD, or SD video over multiple networks, including bonded 3G/4G cellular wireless, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and satellite. Offering easy integration into existing workflows and headends, extremely low power consumption, high MTBF, and unparalleled mobility, the DMNG system offers broadcasters a fully integrated and cloud-based solution for breaking news and live events coverage.
