Introducing SmartRate SR1000
The SR1000 is an innovative Elementary Stream rate allocator. Its purpose is to enhance the overall quality of a MPTS (Multi Program Transport Stream), balancing the bandwidth allocated to each encoder according to a proprietary algorithm that takes various image parameters (such as spatial complexity, motion, etc.) into account to perform that operation. The SR1000 communicates with the encoders via IP messages.

3D: How Video Compression Technology can contribute
Transmission of 3D TV content has become a reality in 2010 with DTH services operators committing to commercial deployments. To avoid video encoders and set-top boxes modifications, high definition content is constructed by packing two views onto a single video stream. For contribution, removing information from the original views could introduce dramatic degradation to the edited and distributed 3D video.

Keeping Video Quality Pristine throughout the Production Process: 4:2:2 10-bit AVC/H.264 encoding
This presentation is a brief summary pointing out the advantages of the 4:2:2 10-bit AVC/H.264 encoding, discussed at the SMPTE technical conference in Hollywood, October 2009. It gives an overall status on the AVC/H.264 4:2:2 10-bit profile, demonstrating the Empirical comparisons against 4:2:0 8-bit & 4:2:2 8-bit all through to multi generation Encoding, and closing up with production cases.

Using 10-bit AVC/H.264 Encoding with 4:2:2 for Broadcast Contribution
This paper demonstrates the advantages of processing video in its native SDI format using AVC/H.264 4:2:2 10-bit encoding. Maintaining the encoding and decoding stages at 10 bits increases overall picture quality, even when scaled up 8-bit source video is used. 10-bit video processing improves low textured areas and significantly reduces contouring artifacts. The results presented in this paper were obtained either from ATEME current real-time HD encoders or bit-accurate software models of upcoming real-time products. Comparisons are made over a very wide range of bit-rates in order to illustrate the achieved gains within a great variety of applications.
