Open Broadcast Systems has announced support for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100G) networking in its low-latency encoders and decoders, which it says enables dozens of ST 2022-6 or ST-2110 streams to be encoded and decoded in a single server.
According to the company, the encode/decode solution is the first in the marketplace to feature 100G support.
As the product is based on Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, there is no vendor-specific hardware dependency and subsequent obsolescence, said OBS.
The solution, which was developed in-house, aims to meet the requirements of customers who want to bulk encode from ST-2110 to MPEG-TS/SRT, as well as bulk decode from MPEG-TS/SRT to ST-2110 as part of a transition to IP and the cloud.
“As consumers demand more and more live content, ultra-high-density encode and decode is key to making this happen in modern IP-based facilities,” said Kieran Kunhya, founder and CEO of Open Broadcast Systems.
“It has been a massive technical endeavour implementing 100G support, but we know this will be a game-changer for many of our customers.”
