Keeping up with the changes and additions needed to your operation's digital pipeline—for example, adding HD and mobile formats to existing SD channels—can be an expensive task, both in machine room real estate and real capital budget outlays. Plus, there is always uncertainty about how much and how rapidly any established mix of channels will change. How quickly will the demand for new HD services grow? What demands will new mobile devices like the iPad make on video streams?

Faced with the constant need to add new services, as well as uncertainty over the shifting ratio of SD to HD to mobile services, perhaps the most important need for any facility's growth plan is to add flexibility alongside channel capacity. The ability to dynamically reconfigure a channel lineup, replacing HD with SD or SD with mobile (and vice-versa), guarantees that an investment in new hardware will never be overtaken by events—however rapidly or much the mix of channels required may change.

For this reason, Telairity multi-format systems are a sound choice for any type of facility expansion. Want to add just a single channel? A BE8500 offers not only the highest quality video at the lowest bit rates, but also complete flexibility in its format capabilities. Need to add multiple channels? In the same 1RU slot occupied by a BE8500, the BE9400 can accommodate up to four SD or mobile channels, or a mix of 1 HD channel and 2 SD/mobile channels.

BE8500 - Single channel 1RU autoswitching multiformat system.

Accepts either HD or SD format input, automatically detecting changes in the format of its input signal and switching to an appropriate user-configurable default output. Output formats range from full resolution 1920 x 1080 HD down to CIF or other small formats for mobile devices. The ability to automatically switch to a different default output format with every change in input format makes the BE8500 not only an unusually versatile encoder, but also a very low maintenance device, requiring no direct operator intervention regardless of how much or how often video sources change. The ability to program any default output for each different input source allows users to easily keep up with changing demands.

BE9300 - Multichannel 1RU multiformat system.

Provides 1 HD channel plus 2 SD/mobile channels in a single 1RU enclosure. All outputs can be fed by a single input for simultaneous encoding in multiple formats, or each channel can function independently, fed by separate source inputs. In its "3A" configuration (any time, any place, any screen), the BE9300 can simultaneously output a single input signal in three different formats: HD, SD, and mobile. In short, whether the need is to simultaneously encode independent feeds, or simultaneously output the same feed in different formats, the BE9300 is an economical, space-saving solution for adding multiple channels to a facility while preserving maximum flexibility to accommodate constantly shifting needs.
