[Satellite TODAY 04-05-13] Ericsson has launched a new high-performance compression platform for the delivery of TV services over all networks. The AVP 4000, powered by Ericsson’s first-ever in-house developed programmable video processing chip, is a single platform that addresses multiple applications, regardless of codec, resolution or network.
 

    By addressing all applications, codecs, resolutions and profiles, the AVP 4000 single platform promises to ease integration, expansion, re-purposing, training, repair and upgrades, lowering the overall cost of ownership, all based on Ericsson’s new video processing chip.

    "This programmable chip gives us the performance and the control necessary to develop and implement the algorithms required to achieve the highest bandwidth efficiency across all delivery networks," Giles Wilson, head of TV Compression Business, Ericsson, said on a statement.
