At the heart of Electra X is the Harmonic PURE Compression Engine™, an advanced encoding technology that supports SD and HD formats and MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC codecs for broadcast and over-the-top multiscreen delivery.
Originally developed for our VOS® cloud-native media processing platform, the Harmonic PURE Compression Engine powers Electra X with superior video quality at minimum bandwidth.
Users can also employ EyeQ™ real-time video optimization, Harmonic’s enhancement for PURE Compression that ensures delivery of the highest video quality across IPTV or OTT delivery networks while reducing bandwidth consumption by up to 50%.
Harmonic’s industry-leading Intelligent Function Integration™ achieves its highest level to date in Electra X2. On-board video graphics and branding bring new levels of workflow efficiency to the video delivery chain, a capability that also preserves video quality by removing the need to inject baseband components into the IP workflow. Rich audio functionality includes encoding in Dolby®AC-4 and Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3) and integrated audio leveling.
As a next-generation media processing system, Electra X offers a new approach to encoding. Uncompressed video over IP workflows are supported with optional SMPTE ST 2022-6 or SMPTE ST 2110 ingest. High dynamic range (HDR) content is supported. Dynamic ad insertion (DAI) is also available. Electra X features comprehensive subtitling capabilities with Teletext or SCTE 27 conversion to DVB subtitling, ARIB and China Closed caption. With its superior video quality, function integration, bandwidth efficiency and workflow flexibility, this multiservice, multi-codec, multi-function platform is sure to simplify your infrastructure, reduce costs and drive new revenue-generating services.
Reduced CAPEX and OPEX The broad capabilities of the Electra X media processor converge broadcast and multiscreen encoding and delivery into a compact deployment. This remarkable function integration reduces the number of devices required to build out a broadcast transmission chain, saving on both capital and operating expenditures and delivering exceptionally low total cost of ownership (TCO)
