Allegro DVT Showcases UHD-VOD HEVC File Encoder AL3200 at IBC 2013

GRENOBLE, France, September 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    At IBC 2013, Allegro DVT expands its encoding product line with the AL3200 appliance.
AL3200 is a cluster-oriented file-based transcoder, capable of encoding UHD assets sourced
in various input file formats, up to 4K multi-rate HEVC at 60 frames per second, for
adaptive VOD streaming or progressive download.

    This advanced headend equipment was developed to help broadcasters target the
following applications, thanks to the bandwidth savings (up to 50% bandwidth savings as
compared to H.264/AVC) brought by HEVC:

       
        - enhanced HD coverage on existing DSL networks.
        - new generation mobile services.
        - make the most of the extra bandwidth provided by FTTH networks and offer UHD
          services.

    AL3200 appliance can be operated in two scenarios:

       
        - For smaller deployments, as a singleton unit, where one AL3200 appliance
          hosts both the transcoding engine and our web-based management system, responsible for
          handling jobs queue.
        - For large scale deployments, as a managed cluster node, where each AL3200
          transcoding node is supervised by Allegro DVT's management system. In this case, the
          management node is responsible for dispatching jobs to transcoding nodes in a fair
          way.

    AL3200 is available as a 19''x1RU rackable appliance, or as a Genova software license
in order to be used in conjunction with private clouds or virtual machines.

    In addition, other Allegro DVT's HEVC products are updated, and AL1200/AL2200 live
HEVC encoders/transcoders now support real-time encoding of 1080p30 content, delivered in
MPEG-DASH or Transport Stream.

    Allegro DVT will be showcasing AL3200 at IBC 2013 on booth 1.A46, so feel free to book
