(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson extends leadership in all IP architectures with launch of Ericsson
MediaFirst Management Controller and Ericsson MediaFirst Encoding Live 8.1
at NAB Show 2017
* Solution streamlines control of all processing elements across any platform
using flexible, microservices architecture; enables rapid time to market and
increased operator flexibility
* New launches amplify the benefits of Ericsson MediaFirst Video Processing
portfolio, to optimize OPEX costs and enable transition towards a holistic,
agile software architecture
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has created the foundation for all IP and cloud native
delivery models with the launch of Ericsson MediaFirst Management Controller and
Ericsson MediaFirst Encoding Live 8.1.
The fully virtualized processing solution, which makes its debut at NAB Show
2017 in Las Vegas, enables operators to capitalize on consumer demand for new
services in areas such as UHD, virtual and augmented reality, along with new
revenue generating opportunities like dynamic ad insertion.
Operating on any platform including pure software, common off the shelf (COTS)
server hardware, private and public cloud, the flexibility breakthrough
addresses complex configurations by taking control of all processing elements,
using a service-based approach that secures operations and optimizes service
quality.
Elisabetta Romano, Vice President and Head of Media Solutions, Ericsson, says:
"We are making it easier to monetize services and drive down processing delivery
costs throughout the entire content lifecycle. Management Controller and
Encoding Live 8.1 are pivotal enhancements to MediaFirst Video Processing, the
media industry's most complete video processing solution. With these launches,
Ericsson simplifies operations for content owners, broadcasters and service
providers by enabling the move to complete virtualization across the media
processing delivery chain."
Building on the company's 25 years of pioneering video compression expertise,
and in close collaboration with its customers and users, Ericsson MediaFirst
Management Controller simplifies the transition to software-based architecture,
providing a unified access point for Ericsson MediaFirst Video Processing
products including Encoding Live, On Demand, Packaging, and Stream Processing.
It allows operators to move away from a restrictive, monolithic approach towards
a more agile service-based allocation, which streamlines application management
and deployment across many services and clusters. The new management platform
offers centralized visibility, configuration and control, along with flexible
failover and licensing management for MediaFirst Video Processing applications;
it can also adapt to dynamically changing environments, whilst balancing cost
control.
MediaFirst Video Processing Encoding Live 8.1 enables faster content deployment,
drives operationally efficient delivery, and delivers more immersive consumer
experiences than ever before. This newly introduced version offers a truly
unified microservice architecture across all platform types, and includes
centralized management, integral failover, and dynamic licensing benefits,
together with faster video transcoding and industry leading density when
deployed on a platform incorporating Intel's Quick Sync Video (QSV) dedicated
video hardware core.
