MUMBAI: F7 Broadcast, a media company in India with six channels including five news channels and one entertainment channel, has transitioned to DVB-S2/MPEG-4 video delivery from DVB-S/MPEG-4 utilising Harmonic’s Ellipse 3200 contribution encoders and ProView 7100 integrated receiver-decoders (IRDs).
The transition to DVB-S2/MPEG-4 video delivery will help F7 Broadcast to optimise video quality, increase bandwidth efficiency and lower operating expenses. Harmonic’s Ellipse and ProView platforms will provide F7 Broadcast with a flexible and scalable end-to-end contribution solution for digital satellite newsgathering (DSNG), enabling the company to cost-effectively expand from operating one regional news channel to five channels.
“Today’s viewers have an insatiable appetite for live news. They want to know what’s happening, while it’s happening, on a variety of devices. In order to provide 24/7 news coverage, we needed a contribution solution that would guarantee superior bandwidth efficiency and video quality for multiple channels,” said F7 Broadcast executive vice president, IT, broadcast and engineering Naveen Goel.
