MediaKind ViBE CP9000 Encoder
The MediaKind ViBE CP9000 encoder enables rapid, reliable deployment of superior-quality HD and Ultra HD content for mission-critical contribution applications.
With the significant increase in UHD TV sets hitting the market, content providers and broadcasters are looking for a solution to address the needs of early adopters of the premium TV standard. Compact and reliable, the ViBE CP9000 contribution encoder is the answer. Superior video quality is a primary objective of the platform, and the ViBE CP9000 delivers with pristine 2160p UHD and 1080p HD content featuring high dynamic range (HDR).
Innovative Compression Technology
The ViBE CP9000 encoder addresses the call for preserving video quality at the front of the broadcast chain with the ability to process high-quality video paths. The ViBE CP9000 encoder employs 4:2:2 10-bit precision encoding technology originally designed for professional transmission. Compatible with the Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) and SMPTE ST 2084 (PQ) HDR formats, the platform is also ready for the next phases of UHD content delivery. As a result, image detail, sharpness and color gradients are preserved throughout the distribution process — right up to the consumer’s UHD display.
Versatile and Future-Proof
With a depth of just 16.9 inches, the compact and rugged ViBE CP9000 encoder is a perfect fit for DSNG vehicles, teleports and flyaway packages. SDI and all-IP contribution and primary distribution use cases are both supported. A low latency encoding mode offers broadcasters the chance to get a true jump on the competition, and also enables home/remote production application. The encoder can be used to transport pristine live video from a field location to the studio via IP, significantly reducing production costs by cutting the number of vehicles and staff members sent to cover live events.
Simple and cost-effective to deploy, the ViBE CP9000 encoder is interoperable with most professional decoders, including the MediaKind RD9000 IRD. It integrates seamlessly with the MediaKind ProSwitch smart redundancy switch as well, enabling a compact 1+1 UHD redundant solution in just 3 RU. DVB/SMPTE standards are supported. The small system footprint and low power consumption of the ViBE CP9000 ensure exceptional ROI and help assure that your investment will pay off well into the future.
Pay-As-You-Grow Scalability
License-based pricing assures that customers pay only for the features they need. Video and audio codecs and formats are easily added to the ViBE CP9000 encoder via firmware upgrade, enabling a scalable migration path that provides operational flexibility and business continuity, and extends the system’s value.
