Description:
Designed for cable television operations, Grass Valley transmission products provide turnkey solutions for digital content delivery. Whether it’s moving digital information from studios, or broadcast centers, to a headend, hubs or edge device, they provide the best video quality at the lowest bit rate—all using open architectures that support myriad conditional access systems, middleware, and other devices.
The Grass Valley ViBE line is the most efficient and compact digital content delivery platform available, combining encoding, MPEG processing, multiplexing, and network adaptation functions in a modular chassis.
The ViBE Encoder is a real technological breakthrough combining unprecedented compactness and flexibility with high-end compression performance and picture quality.
