Next-Generation
System Enables Delivery of Both High-Quality HD or SD Video
Over IP for a Wide Range of Broadcasting Applications
Streambox announced the release of its next-generation
SBT3-9300 video transport system for delivery of broadcast-quality
video and audio over IP-based networks. With the ability to
capture and encode stunning, full-motion and full-frame 1080i/720p
HD content in addition to SD, the SBT3-9300 provides a flexible
and cost-effective path to full HD transmissions for many
types of organizations including broadcasters, production
companies, and houses of worship.
"In today's economy, the competitive
pressure to migrate to HD transmissions is often at odds with
budgetary realities for many broadcasting organizations,"
said Bob Hildeman, chairman and CEO of Streambox. "The
SBT3-9300 is a true hybrid solution which offers built-in HD
capabilities for the price of an SD system. Broadcasters can
take advantage of low-cost, low-bandwidth IP networks for transporting
SD video now — and when the rest of the facility is ready
later to convert to HD, the SBT3-9300 will be ready to go without
requiring a costly upgrade."
The 1RU SBT3-9300 is designed to meet the
exacting performance and quality demands of any organization
that requires professional-level capabilities for transporting
high-quality video over IP. For instance, the system gives
broadcasters an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for
live or file-based newsgathering over low-data-rate IP networks.
Film and post-production studios are using
the SBT3-9300 to transmit high-quality live HD and SD video
as a way to accelerate and enhance editing processes such
as color correction. Also, churches with large, multicampus
congregations are embracing the technology as a cost-effective
and reliable means of streaming live or recorded worship services
to each of their locations.
Based on the award-winning Streambox ACT-L3
codec, the SBT3-9300 offers superior compression and networking
features such as robust forward error correction, burst error
protection, and bandwidth shaping technologies to mitigate
packet loss, network jitter, and buffering.
The system supports full 1080i video
as well as HD/SD digital and analog input and output formats,
transmitting at data rates ranging from 512 Kbps to 30 Mbps
for HD video and 64 Kbps to 15 Mbps for SD. The SBT3-9300's
exclusive Web interface enables operators to control the system
from any computer connected to the network.
