Scopus Launches E-1200 - New Professional MPEG-2 DVB Encoder |
Amsterdam, IBC Show, Holland, September 12, 2003 Scopus Network Technologies (www.scopus.net), a technology leader in digital TV delivery, announced today the introduction of a new professional MPEG-2, DVB encoder, the E-1200. The new encoder will be featured at Scopus’ IBC Show stand # 239, hall 1 at the RAI Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands from September 12-16, 2003.
Scopus’ new E-1200 advanced MPEG-2, DVB Encoder is designed to meet the high-end market of professional broadcasters. With broadcasters seeking to improve picture quality and save transmission costs in an emerging broadcast environment, the E-1200 optimizes the encoding process, particularly at low bit rates. Utilizing Look-Ahead architecture, enhanced pre-processing algorithms and motion complexity estimations techniques, the E-1200 provides superior picture quality.
The E-1200’s TriplePassTM processing addresses multi-channel environment, mainly for Direct-to-Home application over satellite, as well as video over ADSL applications. For a multi-encoding environment in a statistical multiplexing configuration, dynamic bit-rate at variable bit-rate mode of operation is exectued for each encoder. The allocation is performed in advance by predicting the required bit rate of each encoder in relation to the others. Complexity estimation is performed to enable optimization of the compression parameters so that the encoder can more efficiently compress video at low and constant bit rate, applicable mainly for single encoder environment for the Telco market.
According to Isaac Arbel, Scopus’ Director of Product Marketing, the E-1200 represents another step forward by Scopus, the industry’s leading encoder innovator. “Within a short time, we expect to see the E-1200 take its place in the Scopus pantheon of industry leading encoders,” commented Arbel. “Scopus’ technical expertise, product reliability and quality have made our name synonymous with encoder technology and the E-1200 is just our newest contribution.”
The E-1200, is a corner stone is Scopus IVNTM topology for Satellite. The IVN “Intelligent Video Network” supports a comprehensive end-to-end digital compression networked system for video distribution over Satellite, Cable TV, Telecommunications and Terrestrial infrastructure.

About TriplePassTM
TriplePassTM is a three step parallel approach that ensures superior encoding and multiplexing mechanism in a multi-encoder environment. The first two encoding passes are performed in a single encoder environment while the third pass is conducted in multi-encoder environment.
About Scopus' IVN topology:
The IVN" represents the next generation topology for video networking. It provides a new perspective for the video industry by handling video through advanced video routers. Scopus video routers will be able to process, control, and route digital-to-digital video signals. Answering the needs of both DTH (direct to home) broadcasters as well as video C&D (contribution and distribution) service providers, IVN encompasses the entire network infrastructure and enables two-dimensional control over bandwidth. IVN's architecture is based on a network management system utilizing advanced topology, thus supporting end-to-end system control from the master head-end through the network backbone to the regional head-ends and down and to each specific node, hub, or remote site.
