The Harmonic ViBE® Ultra HD Encoder supports the fast and reliable deployment of high-quality ultra HD content for distribution and acquisition applications.
With the significant increase of ultra-high-definition televisions in the market, content providers and broadcasters are seeking solutions that can offer high-quality television standards for early adopters. The compact and reliable ViBE 4K real-time encoder meets this demand. The ViBE 4K utilizes high-resolution and high-frame-rate technology to deliver pristine ultra-high-definition picture quality, creating an immersive experience.
Innovative Technology
ViBE 4K processes uncompressed ultra-high-definition signals at eight times the bitrate of current HD sources, encoding content using the most advanced compression standard, HEVC (H.265). With its rich set of encoding tools, HEVC delivers stunning compression efficiency, providing online ultra-high-definition content for satellite, cable, terrestrial, and fiber networks.
ViBE 4K utilizes a 10-bit precision encoding technology that was originally designed for professional transmission. As a result, it preserves image details, sharpness, and color depth during transmission—directly delivering to consumers' ultra-high-definition displays.
Universal yet timeless
ViBE 4K supports capture and distribution applications. The encoder supports 4:2:2 and low-latency encoding; combined with exceptional HEVC bitrate savings, ViBE 4K helps broadcasters truly stay ahead of the competition. The platform is easy and cost-effective to deploy, and it can interoperate with the Harmonic Amethyst™ III intelligent redundancy switch, achieving a compact 1+1 ultra-high-definition redundancy solution in just 3 RU.
