At IBC in Amsterdam, TVU Networks announced the availability of its MLink TE4500 H.265/HEVC and 4K encoding solution for live video transmission. The MLink TE4500 is a rack-mount encoder that transmits video using HEVC video compression but also incorporates TVU265 enhanced HEVC, Smart VBR encoding and Inverse StatMux Plus IP video technology.
TVU265 is TVU's enhanced version of H.265 that's designed to more efficiently use bandwidth for cellular video transmission. The Inverse StatMux Plus utilizes all transmission connections and includes forward error correction. TVU's Smart VBR proactively manages the transmission bit‐rate for a desired latency.
The MLink TE4500 is compatible with TVU's family of rack-mount IP based transceiver video decoders. The MLink TE4500 and TVU transceivers operate within TVU's cloud-based ecosystem platform for centralized video content management and control, and are designed to support SDI and IP video sources as well.
