Telairity Previews New Multichannel BE8700 Product Line and New BE8600 "Buddy" Systems at NAB 2015


BE8700 line sets new price/performance standard for real-time encoding channels; new half-width companion units for BE8600 greatly expand its range in full-width 1RU configurations



SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Telairity, a global leader in encoding technology, today announced that it will preview new additions to its line—the BE8700 H.264/AVC 4-channel video encoder, and two special purpose companion systems that expand the utility of the new flagship BE8600 encoder—during the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention and exhibition in Las Vegas on April 13-16. The Telairity booth is located in South Hall (upper floor): SU7516.



"Our new BE8600 single-channel and BE8700 multichannel lines give customers the promise of a long lifetime," said Harlan McGhan, vice president of marketing and sales, "with all the power needed for today's most demanding HD H.264/AVC applications and a smooth upgrade path to tomorrow's even more demanding UHD H.265 applications."



Along with other new Telairity encoders, the multi-channel BE8700 is based on Telairity's exclusive TVP840™ video processor, the new-generation chip that offers industry-leading processing power in compact, efficient systems. All encoders include free life-of-unit firmware upgrades.



Flexibility is one of the main attractions of the new 1RU 4-channel BE8700, McGhan continued. "It lets our customers run any channel in any mode they like: SD, HD, or mobile. There's no need to purchase additional hardware or yet another software license for what might be an expensive and potentially awkward upgrade solution."



The multichannel BE8700 will be shown in static prototype at the Telairity booth.



Telairity developed the BE8600 to function as a stand-alone encoder capable of bonding with other special-purpose systems. The BE8600 and its new "buddy" systems are each individually designed as half-width systems; a paired BE8600 and its "buddy" system together occupy a full-width 1RU slot.



The first "buddy" unit will be the BE8650, designed for back-haul applications that need a DVB-S/S2 or DVB-T/T2 radio link to a target destination. It marries a half-width Orion modulator to the half-width BE8600 encoder to form a full-width 1RU system. A working model will be on display at the Telairity booth.



A second "buddy" system, the BE8680, combines the BE8600 with a halfwidth AMP-2 media server. The AMP-2 takes TS over IP outputs from the BE8600, optionally stores them to disk in MP4 format, and also optionally processes them for real-time streaming over any wired or wireless transmission network to any client HLS, RTSP, or RTMP device. It also serves as a web-based controller for the BE8600 companion encoder, enabling it to be accessed from anywhere on the Internet.



Both the new BE8600 single-channel encoder and the paired BE8650 with modulator "buddy" system are available immediately, while the BE8700 multichannel system and the paired BE8680 with AMP-2 "buddy" system will be available later in Q2. The half-width AMP-2 Advanced Media Processor, together with the full-width AMP-1, also will be available separately. The Orion modulator is also available separately, in both half-width and full-width models.
