Ericsson receives 6th Emmy® Award for remote statistical multiplexing
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Technology & Engineering Emmy® Award bestowed for "Closed-loop Statistical
Multiplexing of Geographically Distributed Encoders"
* Demonstrates Ericsson's critical part in enabling the delivery of HD quality
services in scenarios where transponder bandwidth is limited
* Enables satellite service providers to optimize audience reach with delivery
of more services
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced it will receive a Technology &
Engineering Emmy® Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences
for its work in enabling closed-loop statistical multiplexing of geographically
distributed encoders. This will be Ericsson's sixth Emmy® Award, which will be
formally presented to the company at a ceremony on January 8, 2016 in Las Vegas.
Ericsson has been a market-leader in the delivery of advanced encoding solutions
for over 25 years, shaping the industry with solutions that have enabled
continual transformation of TV services offered to consumers. Its latest
pioneering work in geographically-distributed statistical multiplexing was in
response to the challenges that wide-area direct broadcast satellite service
providers have to deliver all local market broadcast stations due to limited
transponder bandwidth. The development of 'remote statmux' technology enables
these service providers to drive efficiencies in their local service offerings
while retaining a high quality of experience for the viewer.
Elisabetta Romano, Vice President and Head of TV and Media, Ericsson says: "It's
a great achievement for Ericsson to be honored with a 6(th) sixth Emmy® Award
and our fourth in the last five years. We are really excited that our pioneering
work in remote statistical multiplexing has been recognized. By transmitting
video streams in this way, direct broadcast satellite service providers can
advance their service offerings and maximize the number of households they are
reaching in local market areas. It is clear that video compression continues to
play a vital role in our industry, acting as a critical enabler for the delivery
of quality TV services to an ever-increasing number of consumers right across
the globe."
Closed-loop statistical multiplexing of geographically distributed encoders
enables direct broadcast satellite service providers to deliver all of the local
broadcast stations in a particular local market area, in HD quality, to
subscribers located in that market area. Without this technology, limitations in
transponder bandwidth and economic factors would prevent, for example, 35
million DBS subscribers in the USA from receiving their local broadcast
channels.
