FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NAB 2019: NEW JVC HARDWARE
ENCODER DELIVERS REAL-TIME HEVC COMPRESSION FOR
BANDWIDTH SAVINGS - WAYNE, NJ (April 4,
2019) –
JVC
Professional
Video, a division of JVCKENWOOD USA
Corporation, today announced the ProHD BR-EN900 encoder designed for
studio and remote production, ENG,
live streaming from sports venues, and point-to-point HD video
contribution. Powered by an all-hardware compression chip, the
portable BR-EN900 provides broadcast-quality HEVC (H.265) encoding
up to 1080p60 with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling.
-
- Dual encoding capabilities allow simultaneous
H.265 and H.264 streaming to different destinations, such as
hardware decoders and CDNs. The HEVC codec reduces bandwidth
requirements and the associated costs when streaming over cellular,
satellite, and broadband networks.
-
- “Our cameras feature built-in encoders, but
customers often need to stream the output of a switcher in
multi-camera remote production applications,” explained Edgar
Shane, general manager of engineering. “The BR-EN900 can deliver
contribution-quality HD video over bonded LTE, Wi-Fi, or WAN without
compromising the image quality, even at very low bit rates using the
high-efficiency H.265 codec.”
- Designed for any video environment, the
BR-EN900 includes 3G-SDI, DVI, HDMI, and composite inputs, plus
support for analog and digital audio (embedded and discrete). The
compact encoder is easy to integrate into mobile production vehicles
and transport cases. It also features Zixi™ error correction
technology, which assures error-free video delivery over the
Internet and can tolerate network congestion, high jitter, and
packet loss.
-
- When combined with JVC’s BR-DE900 decoder,
which decodes both H.265
and H.264 streams, the BR-EN900 delivers best-in-class HEVC video
quality and up to 50 percent bandwidth savings compared to H.264.
Both units are transport infrastructure agnostic, so they work over
WAN/LAN, LTE and satellite connections.
-
- JVC will demonstrate the new encoder at the
2019 NAB Show (Booth C4415), which runs April 8-11 in Las Vegas,
Nev. The BR-EN900 has an MSRP of $5,990 and will ship in June.
