DVEO , a well respected supplier to leading broadcasters, telco TV/OTT and cable operators around the world, is now shipping their new live software based 4K H.265/HEVC or H.264 encoding and decoding solution. The iCandy 4K encoder and decoder will be a featured demo at the DVEO booth, SU5724, at the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Show in Las Vegas, April 18-21.
The iCandy is designed to deliver pristine 4K H.265/HEVC or H.264 video, making it ideal for news, sports, and satellite contribution. The iCandy-E features a software based H.265 or H.264 transport stream encoder and HLS streamer with 6G SDI input and ASI and IP output, plus a matching decoder -- the iCandy-D -- with ASI and IP input and 6G SDI output.
While most contribution encoders generally encode to mezzanine 4:2:2, the iCandy-E encodes HD-SDI at mezzanine 4:2:2 and 4:2:0. It supports a secondary lower resolution output with different profiles for quick distribution to mobile devices. (It is tested compatible with major brands of IP devices including Dune HD , Amino , Roku , Telergy, Android , and Apple iPad and iPhone .)
Making this happen has been intellectually taxing. 4K video is no longer in the future -- it has arrived, said Laszlo Zoltan, Vice President of DVEO . With the iCandy, broadcasters and content providers can now meet viewers growing demand for the highest possible quality video capture of sports, special events, and celebrations.
The encoder can also upconvert incoming SD streams to HD, and scale down. Versions with optional HDMI input and output are also available.
For reliable video quality over the public internet and across long distances, both systems are equipped with DVEOs patented DOZER technology for automated UDP packet recovery. With the DOZER technology, the iCandy-E encoder streaming output can utilize public internet or dedicated connections instead of satellite.
