Harmonic -- Booth 7101
Today's broadcasters are looking to deliver OTT and UHD HDR services, improve bandwidth efficiency, and streamline their playout operations. At Inter BEE 2016, Harmonic will demonstrate how it's leading the wave of innovation in these areas, accelerated by the company's recent acquisition of Thomson Video Networks.
"In the Asia-Pacific market, UHD adoption is strong. In fact, a portion of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be broadcast in UHD and distributed over-the-top," said Tony Berthaud, vice president, sales, Asia-Pacific at Harmonic. "At Inter BEE 2016, we'll demonstrate how Harmonic is leading the charge, enabling broadcasters to launch traditional and OTT services faster, at a lower total cost of ownership, and with superior video quality than the competition. The latest innovations on display will include IP playout, cloud-native, UHD HDR and video compression optimization solutions."
