Open Broadcast Systems has added support for 200 Gigabit Ethernet to its range of encoders and decoders in a move the company said will “enable media companies and broadcasters to achieve unrivalled video processing capabilities in a single server”.
The move to 200 Gigabit support enables bulk transport to and from the cloud, while representing a “doubling of capacity, drastically increasing density and improving energy efficiency in a smaller footprint than previously possible”.
The update has been developed in-house, added the company, in response to customer demand to bulk encode from ST-2110 to MPEG-TS/SRT, as well as bulk decode from MPEG-TS/SRT to ST-2110 for IP and the cloud.
Kieran Kunhya, founder and CEO of Open Broadcast Systems, commented: “Broadcasters and service providers are making use of ever faster networks. Especially with the transition to IP and the cloud, our customers need efficient ways to enable bulk transport at scale. Two Hundred Gigabit lets them achieve unrivalled video processing capabilities in a single server.”
