"The NVS-40 is a multi-channel video encoder, streaming unit, and recording station. This single piece of equipment ensures that you can send out multiple streams to different destinations in a variety of bitrates. NVS-40 can also record on a hard drive, so your production is safe in all cases. NVS-40 supports recording directly to the hard disk in master quality. Recording is also fully customizable with different GOP structures, frame rate and bit rate set up.

 

NVS-40 uses cutting edge encoding to ensure the signal to arrive in superior quality. The encoder can downscale and de-interlace each incoming signal to meet the destination specifications. Each incoming signal is dual-encoded. This means that each signal can be distributed in two bitrates. This gives the user an enormous amount of freedom and flexibility. NVS-40 can be used with all major streaming platforms and social media channels, such as YouTube Live, Facebook, Twitch, UStream, Akamai, Wowza, Adobe Media Server and Datavideo’s own DVS-200 server.

 

The NVS-40 offers extensive customization options. Each input channel has its own color correction options to customize brightness, contrast and saturation. Setting up NVS-40 is easily done with a very simple browser menu. This way, NVS-40 is accessible from any device on the network.

 

Going live on the internet is mandatory for any video producer at the moment. NVS-40 gives you all the features and capacity to produce the way you like without giving up reliability. It can replace multiple streaming encoders and recorders. NVS-40 is a cost-effective solution for any video producer that needs to deliver his or her production to multiple servers at the same time."

The Harmonic ProStream X video stream processor leverages advances in IT infrastructure to provide high-performance, high-throughput stream processing for mission-critical MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC delivery applications. The platform possesses a variety of advanced video processing capabilities, including multiplexing, scrambling, splicing and blackout switching. Featuring 10 Gbps throughput, it also serves as a high-capacity video gateway. The ProStream X stream processor runs on a 1-RU, COTS Intel® appliance and pairs with the Harmonic Electra™ X2 advanced media processor to deliver a compact, software-based solution for encoding and distributing superior-quality IP video streams.



ProStream X features include:

High-Throughput Processing
The ProStream X stream processor offers the choice of quad 1-GbE, dual 10-GbE or ASI I/O. The high-throughput 10-GbE option supports up to 2,000 simultaneous multiplexing and scrambling services. Gateway capabilities include socket address flipping, ASI-to-IP conversion and IP mirroring.

Scrambling
ProStream X is the industry’s first stream processor to support 128-bit DVB CSA3 encryption, integrated and certified by Cisco and Irdeto, making it the most secure stream processing solution for distributing UHD broadcast services. DVB CSA2, IPTV AES and BISS scrambling are also supported.

Statistical Multiplexing
Harmonic’s DiviTrackIP™ option integrates statistical multiplexing and IP switching by connecting ProStream X systems with remote Harmonic Electra X2 encoders across a LAN or WAN, allowing any ProStream X in the network to efficiently manage the encoders’ statmux pools.

Splicing
ProStream X processor supports both live-to-live splicing, which allows to switch between main and alternative live feeds seamlessly, with no ETR 290 errors at output.

“Pay As You Grow” Scalability
As processing needs evolve, the software-based ProStream X platform makes it easy to incrementally add or upgrade I/O modules and firmware licenses, simplifying scalability and extending the system’s value.

IP network technology and infrastructure is evolving, as is the distribution of video. Dedicated SDI-based networks are being replaced by transmission over standard IP-based networks as high-speed IP infrastructures are becoming affordable and easily available. Broadcasters seek ways to standardize on IP networks for all video transmission, regardless of video format.

Designed for IP-centric operations:

Specifically designed for IP-centric operations, the X10 and X20 chassis has a significant video processing capacity. 10G bi-directional IP interfaces provides video firewall-grade IP security at every connection node. Capable of internal routing of up to 140G, the backplane extends Appear’s tradition of providing high capacity future-proof platforms. The chassis supports dual active backplane providing Appear TV patented lossless redundancy between modules. Service density can be defined up to 2,000 services in and out per module.

Current and future IP video standards:

The X platform supports “light” intra-codecs as well as AVC and HEVC. Option modules for receiving compressed or uncompressed video from IP or SDI (Optical and Electrical) are readily available. With backplane latency of less than 1ms, universal applicability for virtually any video application is ensured, as is the implementation of both current and future IP video standards, including VSF-TR03, VSF-TR04 and SMPTE2110.

X Platform Modules:

Hi-density, modular and hot-swappable - the X10 and X20 use the same set of modules and same software:

• Dual 10G IP IO


• DVB-S/S2X Input


• DVB-S/S2X Satellite Modulator


• 12G SDI/ASI IO


• HEVC Encoder


• HEVC Transcoder


• HEVC Decoder


• Scrambler


• Bulk Descrambler

Modules

Modules include switching, input for content aggregation, compression, processing, output and decoding. All modules can be combined freely to provide the desired functionality. This includes the possibility to deliver and convert both analog and digital broadcast services, from point to point, or from point to multipoint and in any format to any screen.

Chassis

Appear offers two different chassis: the 4RU XC5000 chassis which can hold 16 option modules and the 1RU XC5100 chassis which can hold 6 option modules. In addition, each of the chassis houses a switch and management module that can be equipped with dual IP I/Os. Both chassis variants have dual-redundant and hot-swappable power supplies. Hot-swappable modules allow for various redundancy scenarios.

All Appear modules can be combined into the same chassis. Only chassis space or total throughput will limit the number of modules that can be fitted.

Carrier Grade Platform

Appear’s XC5000 and XC5100 are carrier grade platforms of equal power and versatility. Able to handle intensive processing requirements with built-in automatic routing of signals between modules via the backplane. Both units feature dual-redundant and hot-swappable power supplies, hot-swappable modules and enhanced redundancy options.

Simplicity in Operation

The advanced user-friendly GUI offers intuitive and comprehensive management of the entire system. Alarm on multiple levels, centralized monitoring and easy integration to third-party management systems simplifies deployment and maintenance.
