Telairity Introduces Multi-Channel Encoder Capable of Supporting Both SD and HD

With the resolutions war raging in full earnest and new devices hitting the market every month, encoding has turned into a complicated issue. Telairity has ruled the H.264/AVC video processing domain for quite some time now, and our latest product, the multichannel BE8700 distribution encoder only strengthens our claim to be the best in the business.

What is the BE8700?

The BE8700 is a 1 to 4 channel encoder offering state-of-the-art 4:2:0 H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) video compression for all HD and SD television formats. In its 4-channel configuration, it can accept different HD and SD feeds on every channel, auto-configuring by input type from 4 HD and 0 SD all the way to 0 HD and 4 SD channels, including any 3/1, 2/2, or 1/3 HD/SD combination in between. Or, it can take in a single HD or SD feed, and simultaneously provide 4 different primary encodes of that feed at different bitrates and resolutions. Based on the latest generation of Telairity’s distinctive TVP technology, it is a forward-looking product, capable of accommodating emerging HEVC and UHD specifications.

Gentlemen, Start Your (Fan)Visions: Telairity Takes on F1 Racing

The United States Grand Prix: it’s one of the oldest automotive races in the world, with a legacy that stretches back to 1908, when it was known as the “American Grand Prize”. Eventually subsumed into the Formula One World Championship series of motor races, the F1 United States Grand Prix became the legendary proving-ground for some of international racing’s top race car drivers. Last held at the Indianapolis Speedway in 2007, the U.S. Grand Prix is making its way this time to Austin, TX, where an estimated 150,000+ spectators are anticipated to descend on the state capital in quest of high-speed adrenaline.

Speaking of spectator sports and speaking of high-speeds, what better proving-ground for FanVision to create new believers? The game-changing technology has already enhanced the way that NFL and collegiate football are experienced across the United States, including at the University of Michigan’s Wolverine Stadium, the largest sports amphitheater in the Western Hemisphere. Attendees at the stadium can either rent or purchase FanVision controllers that allow them to experience the epic race from 8 respective on-board camera angles, in addition to receiving real-time racing updates, stats, and professional analysis from the best sportscasters in the business. Everything from head-to-head comparisons of where individual race cars stand in relation to one another, to instant replays, will be available through the platform.

And guess who provides the high bit-rate encoding? You guessed it: Telairity.

The only thing faster than the F1 cars barreling their way around the racetrack at Austin will be the bit processing of Telairity’s encoders. With Telairity at the wheel,  fans can easily log onto their FanVision controllers, channel surf, and keep up with all the action seamlessly – all the while enjoying HD quality visuals. Even in a jam-packed stadium, Telairity’s encoding technology condenses to such a degree that bandwidth overuse is never a concern. Each acceleration, pit-stop, and hairpin turn will be experienced in all its real-time, multidimensional glory with the help of FanVision – and us here at Telairity.
