Teleste Introduces a Unified Headend Solution at IBC2016

TURKU, Finland, September 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

     By utilizing Elemental's statistical multiplexing, operators can now reach up to 20%

        more bandwidth capacity while enjoying the efficiency of a unified headend

    Teleste, a leading provider of video and broadband technologies and services
[http://www.teleste.com ], today announced that at IBC2016 it will introduce a unified
headend solution based on both the company's headend platform and the state-of-the-art
video processing technology of Elemental Technologies, the leader in software-defined
video solutions [http://www.elementaltechnologies.com ]. With the new solution, operators
can reach up to 20% higher bandwidth capacity
[http://www.elemental.com/sites/default/files/assets/datasheets/Elemental_Statmux_Data_Sheet.pdf ]
for delivering high resolution TV channels over cable TV, terrestrial and
satellite networks while ensuring oustanding viewing experiences and rich, full-featured
services for consumers at all times.

    "As video and data traffic in cable networks gets more and more bursty, operators can
greatly benefit from being able to accommodate the increasing number of bandwidth-hungry,
high-resolution video and data services. With Elemental as our technology partner, we are
thrilled to announce a solution that not only drives significant efficiency for operators
in terms of optimizing bandwidth capacity but also ensures remarkable flexibility in
service design, enabling rich and flexible content with which to win consumers over", said
Julius Tikkanen, Vice President of Video Service Platforms for Teleste.

    Cable TV networks are running out of free frequencies due to an ever-growing number of
TV channels with higher video resolutions, the need for higher broadband speeds and new
DOCSIS(R) standards. By utilizing statistical multiplexing operators can ensure the
efficient usage of network capacity, which guarantees high-quality viewing experiences for
consumers. It enables the dynamic allocation of bandwidth to channels that are currently
transmitting in order to make the best use of the total available bandwidth and to
maximize network efficiency. As a result, operators will be able to deliver an increasing
amount of attractive content, such as premium HD and UHD channels in their cable TV,
terrestrial and satellite networks.

    The integrated solution uses the Teleste Luminato headend and Teleste Optimo
transcoding services, powered by Elemental's software-defined video processing and
statistical multiplexing in order to create a unified video delivery infrastructure in
which headend components are seamlessly integrated. In addition to optimizing network
usage, the unified headend solution enables operators to decrease network complexity,
increase service reliability and enable flexible adaptation to future changes in consumer
trends and service demands. The Luminato headend also furnishes the solution with such
features as wide integration to content security and conditional access systems (CASs) and
support for several simultaneously operating CASs, as well as rich EPG offerings enabled
by the flexible gathering of EIT information.
