Open Broadcast Systems, a pioneering developer in the broadcast technology sector, has officially introduced 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100G) networking capabilities into its range of low-latency video encoders and decoders.
This significant upgrade enables the processing of numerous ST 2022-6 or ST-2110 streams on a singular server platform, marking a substantial leap in operational efficiency and energy usage per channel.
Advancements in Video Processing
This enhancement represents the industry’s inaugural encode/decode solution to incorporate 100G support, reflecting Open Broadcast Systems’ commitment to leading-edge video processing technology. The solution is built on Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, ensuring flexibility and longevity without the constraints of proprietary hardware dependencies. The initiative was driven by the growing demand from customers for large-scale encoding from ST-2110 to MPEG-TS/SRT formats, and decoding in the reverse direction, facilitating a smoother transition to IP-based and cloud infrastructures.
A Statement from the CEO
Kieran Kunhya, the Founder and CEO of Open Broadcast Systems, emphasized the critical nature of ultra high-density encoding and decoding for meeting the escalating demand for live content in contemporary IP-based broadcasting environments. Kunhya highlighted the extensive technical effort involved in integrating 100G support and expressed confidence that this development will significantly benefit the company’s clientele by enhancing operational efficiency and future-proofing broadcasting infrastructures.
