Harmonic and DigiCAP announced they are offering a new solution for broadcasters that combines statistical multiplexing technology on Harmonic's XOS advanced media processor with DigiCAP's DigiCaster ATSC 3.0 headend. The joint solution significantly improves video quality and bandwidth efficiency, streamlining the delivery of ATSC 3.0 services and enhancing NEXTGEN TV experiences. The new solution enables Harmonic's XOS media processor to receive real-time feedback from DigiCAP's Digi CAP's DigiCaster.
By creating an interactive connection between the DigiCaster packaging, signaling and scheduling systems, the solution allows broadcasters to dynamically fine-tune statmux bit rate allocations based on available bandwidth within the ATSC 3.0 physical layer pipes. The advanced solution supports both real-time and non-real-time data transmissions.
