Premium Video Compression Quality
ViBE(TM) EM Series Multi-channel HD/SD Encoders

The EM4000 HD encoder leverages Thomson Video Networks' Mustang 2.0 compression technology to deliver efficiency improvements of 20 percent or more when encoding in MPEG-4 AVC, freeing up bandwidth that can be used to broadcast an extra channel per multiplex or transponder. For SD encoding, the ViBE EM1000 and EM2000 encoders combine compression efficiency features and the latest preprocessing techniques to deliver clearer pictures with increased depth and clarity, giving customers a premium viewing experience.
