Helius Introduces New Content Management Technologies
Helius Inc., the worldwide leader in IPTV solutions for business, announced today they will be demonstrating at the Satellite 2007 tradeshow several key advancements as part of their content management and content distribution products. Some of the new innovations that will be shown at the event in Washington D.C. next week include support for DVB-S2 as well as Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation.
Customers are increasingly using higher quality video and/or considering adding channels of content. Higher quality video, especially high definition, can dramatically increase the bandwidth needed to distribute throughout a network. By using better compression and transport technologies like MPEG-4 and DVB-S2, customers can improve the quality of video elements without purchasing additional bandwidth. Now all satellite receiver products from Helius will offer support for both MPEG-4 as well as DVB-S2. For customers not ready to make the leap to DVB-S2 today, Helius receiver products will support the existing DVB-S standard with the option to move to DVB-S2 with only a simple configuration change required at the receiver.
Customers looking to maximize their bandwidth can also take advantage of Helius’ new Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation technology. With this technology customers can distribute file-based content using a prioritized queuing method rather than a scheduling method. By simply dropping files into the desired queue, files will be automatically distributed as soon as bandwidth becomes available thereby allowing for maximum bandwidth usage.
“We believe customers will see a dramatic improvement in their overall bandwidth utilization,” said Kim Clark, Helius’ VP of engineering. “With these advancements content management becomes much simpler as well.”
