The start of the XV
Pacific Games is just under a week away and we’re excited to announce that
Telairity will be providing encoder and decoder lines to the Games. Our
equipment will be provided by MiseOpoint, an Oceania-based systems provider.
The multinational games will feature athletes from 22 island
nations and will take place in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea from July 4-18,
2015. The games were created in 1962 to foster friendship among the Pacific
Islands by bringing together different cultures, ideas and interests all united
under sport. Held every four years the Pacific Games has a wide selection of
sports, including track and field, swimming, lawn bowling, and “va’a” or boat
races. Some of the participating nations are American Samoa, Fiji, French
Polynesia, Guam, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga,
Vanuatu, Australia, and New Zealand.
More than 3,000 men and women athletes will compete in 28
different sports in nine separate venues throughout Port Moresby and the Games
are viewed by attending athletes as a warm up for 2016’s Olympic Games in
Brazil.
Telairity will be providing our BE7100 and BE8100 encoder
lines as well as our popular BE5502 Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) to the
nine different venues to ensure a multi-format, low-latency transmission path
for the live game coverage. The IRD is a full-featured professional 4:2:0
MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) HD/SD integrated receiver and decoder for
broadcasters, cable operators, and telecoms. The BE7100 encoder is scalable,
fully programmable, low latency broadcast quality encoder for standard
definition format. For HD video compression in real time we offer our 8000
series encoders.
Viewers around the world will watch the Pacific Games via
the LiveStream Internet video service while Oceania Broadcasters will downlink
a 4 channel multiplex from Intelsat 19. All signals will be transmitted via IP to
the International Broadcast Center (IBC), and redistributed over the Pacific by
satellite for video and Internet viewing. All broadcasts will be available in
French and English. IBC will provide the English broadcast and the French-language
feed will be from France Televisions to French-language territories.
