allowing
broadcasters
to deliver superior video
quality at lower bit rates.
AVIWEST will showcase
AIR300 and AIR320, the two first
products in its AIR series of highend, powerful, and ultra-lightweight
video uplink systems. Integrating
best-in-class H.265/HEVC hardware
encoders, the series enables flawless
HD and SD encoding and exceptional
video quality delivery. Featuring up to
four mobile connections, an internal
Wi-Fi modem, internal battery, and

and store and forward
recorded content even
during
unpredictable
and unmanaged network
conditions.
This
new
transmitter series is the
perfect tool for on-the-go
video professionals who need
lightweight, portable, and versatile
video solutions.

HE4000 4K UHD HEVC live encoder

AVIWEST's HE4000 4K Ultra HD
(UHD) HEVC live encoder is ideal for
real-time delivery of live UHD or HD
content over unmanaged IP networks.
The compact, half 1-RU encoder
combines 10-bit and 4:2:2 HEVC
encoding with the latest generation of
SafeStreams technology for delivery
of live video content over IP at low
latencies and bit rates. The HE4000
will be demonstrated with the latest
version of the StreamHub transceiver
and decoder platform, offering
integrated 4K UHD HEVC recording
and decoding functions.
AVIWEST's live IP contribution
system includes the StreamHub
transceiver
and
the
Manager
management system. The system
operates in virtualised mode to
deliver all the economic benefits of
the cloud without compromising the
performance required by today's

media environments.
The extended capabilities
of AVIWEST's cloud solution
will be showcased at
IBC2017. By supporting both
point-to-point and pointto-multipoint distribution scenarios,
the platform offers broadcasters
the flexibility they need to stream
live video content to any CDN and
streaming platform, such as Facebook
Live or YouTube. The platform includes
a powerful SIP-based IFB application.
AVIWEST has enhanced its Mobile
Journalism (MOJO) solution, which
includes
the
Laptop
MacBook
application and the APP iOS and
Android applications. The new version
of the APP smartphone application
for live streaming, store and forward
of high-quality video, features an
optimised interface, advanced camera
settings, dynamic resolution, and
video-quality improvements.
AVIWEST's popular PRO video uplink
series has been extended with the
new PRO180+ which supports most of
the mobile networks deployed in the
world.

Broadpeak Solutions Innovate CDN
W

ith video consumption on every
device now ubiquitous, payTV operators and content providers
are finding it increasingly hard to
differentiate themselves in terms of
providing the best user experience
delivered over managed networks and
OTT.
Broadpeak will address this trend
and more, by demonstrating its latest
innovations in CDN, video streaming,
and video analytics solutions at
IBC2017.
Broadpeak's nanoCDN multicast
ABR solution has successfully been
deployed by leading operators
worldwide for live multiscreen service
delivery.
nanoCDN multicast ABR makes live
HTTP video delivery to any device
truly scalable by turning millions of
broadband gateways, cable modems,
Wi-Fi routers, and STBs into active
components of an operator's content
delivery infrastructure. Leveraging
home networks, operators can costeffectively manage the consumption
peaks of live multiscreen services for

millions of simultaneous viewers using
only a few megabits per second from
their network. Several new use cases
for nanoCDN will be shown, including
zero latency for live video streaming
as well as live HTTP TV service delivery
via satellite.

Broadpeak
Cloud PVR

Broadpeak Cloud PVR makes it
possible for subscribers to launch
multiple recordings on various
channels
simultaneously
without
any constraint for the end-user on
the available bandwidth or number
of tuners on their reception device.
Broadpeak supports all scenarios
for Cloud PVR, including start-over,
time-shift, and catch-up TV, as well as
impulse recording, using a shared copy

or private copy model.
Broadpeak's umbrellaCDN CDN
selector allows content providers
to choose the best content delivery
networks for delivering video content.
At IBC2017, Broadpeak will highlight
CDN Diversity, a ground-breaking
function of umbrellaCDN which allows
content providers to dynamically take
into account the instantaneous quality
of several CDNs as a service, combine
their contributions, and deliver the
content at a quality level exceeding
what would be achievable with the
best CDN alone.
At
IBC2017,
Broadpeak
will
demonstrate BroadCache Box, a
unique local video caching solution for
broadcasters and content aggregators
that dramatically reduces CDN costs
while boosting subscribers' QoE.
With BroadCache Box, local caches
are deployed into telecom or cable
operators' networks, and the most
popular content from a specific
content provider is stored. Since the
content is streamed from a location
closer to end-users, latency and

network congestion are reduced,
resulting in higher video bitrates,
faster start times, and uninterrupted
viewing sessions. As the most popular
content can represent more than 80%
of the video traffic, caching at the ISP
level significantly lowers CDN service
costs. Additionally, BroadCache Boxes
do not generate any transit costs.
The solution can be used for both live
and on-demand content and supports
secured HTTPS connections.
