    • Product Overview
    Introducing HERO, next-generation transcoding that smartly adapts to multi-screen needs. Whether tackling multi-channel live encoding from BNC sources or transcoding from network or local source files, the HERO single-box approach is adaptable to your convergence needs.

    Ingesting from any source, for delivery to any screen, HERO builds on a decade of award-winning Media Excel transcoding experience. Combining robust Media Excel software with once-a-decade multi-core Shannon DSP processing, the end result is a single box for both encoding and transcoding—without compromise—to meet critical convergence needs, at any time and for any screen.
    Unique Characteristics
    > Superior adaptive-bitrate (ABR) video transcoding from live and file-based sources
    - All ABR protocols (Adobe, Apple, Juniper / Ankeena, Microsoft, etc)
    - HTTP and streaming-server specific delivery (Flash Media Server, IIS, Wowza)
    > Superior performance
    - Over 5x performance improvement against previous DSP-based systems
    - Up to 20x performance improvement over x86-based solutions
    > Simultaneous RJ-45 and BNC inputs
    - DVB-ASI and MPEG-2 Transport Streams via RJ-45 and BNC
    - 720p and 1080i uncompressed via BNC
    Key Features
  • Multi-Channel: 16 HD Channels
  • Multi-Screen: 8 Screens/Channel
  • Multi-Rate: 8 Adaptive Rates/screen
  • Unified Live and File Transcoding
  • Single RU: 400w max
    • DSPs vs. GPU and x86 Processors
  • DSPs are specifical ly designed for time-critical & real-time video-centric processing tasks while x86/GPUs are designed for PC/Laptop use.
  • DSPs present an inherent advantage of 8x in terms of footprint and 12x in terms of power consumption compared to x86 or GPUs.
  • Multi-Core DSPs del iver a 12x capacity advantage and 80% lower operating cost (OPEX) compared to x86 or GPUs.
