Teleste and Elemental announce video processing system for Gansu

TURKU, FINLAND: Teleste and Elemental Technologies announced the deployment of a live digital TV video processing system for Gansu Broadcast and Television Network Inc.

The tightly integrated solution, delivered by Shanghai OTEC Technology Co Ltd., enables the Chinese regional operator to efficiently manage 85 local CATV sub operators and 100 channels from a single system.

The primary Gansu CATV headend features a Teleste Luminato digital platform for receiving high-definition (HD) satellite content. Designed for live content processing, the Luminato solution is tightly integrated with a Teleste Optimo transcoder powered by Elemental for converting HD content from MPEG-2 to the Advanced Video Coding (AVC/H.264) format. The deployed infrastructure provides video processing of 100 HD and standard-definition (SD) channels for provincial distribution.

The Teleste Optimo transcoder is a part of Teleste's solution for distributing TV channels and video services on DVB, IPTV and over-the-top television (OTT) networks. Transcoding is powered by Elemental video processing software to provide real-time video and audio encoding for linear pay TV broadcast as well as live streaming to new media platforms.
