MEDIA EXCEL CASE STUDYBROADCASTERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SOLVE THE SATELLITE BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION CRUNCH
WWW.MEDIAEXCEL.COM / [email protected]
HERO 5000E/D HIGHLIGHTS• FLEXIBILITY: MPEG-2, AVC, HEVC in HD and SD formats within
the same unit. Enables operators to deploy services with a long-term outlook, minimize technology refresh cycles and accom-modate legacy, current and emerging needs intrinsically.
• VERSATILITY: Support for both Satellite and IP delivery net-
works. Enables service redundancy across multiple delivery paths and aids migration of service across Satellite & IP/CDN networks.
• SCALABILITY: Support for HEVC/H.265 high efficiency video
compression. Dramatically enhances bandwidth capacity with-out compromising video quality and without impacting end-to-end compliance.
• RELIABILITY: Fully redundant architecture with end-to-end high availability policies. Safeguards SLAs and ensures packet-loss free delivery without compromising end-to-end latency.
• USABILITY: Remote/centralizedmonitoring and configurationof services through HMS NMS. Preset-based modular architec-ture enables rapid service deployment and monitoring from a central location.
THE SOLUTION
MediaExcel’sEncoder/Decodersolutionisspecificallyarchitectedto address the challenges broadcasters and service providers face today for contribution/distribution and point-to-point video deliv-ery over satellite and IP networks.
Delivering exceptional quality and proven reliability, HERO 5000 E/D product line is the perfect solution for content gathering, head-end&confidencefeeds,withtheflexibilitytoaccommodatelegacy and emerging video compression standards from MPEG-2 to AVC and HEVC.

THE CHALLENGE
The wealth of entertainment, news and sports content produced on daily basis, along with the widespread consumption of video across diverse screens, devices and networks, has introduced con-siderable challenges in the video delivery ecosystem.
Video delivery stakeholder, such as News Gathering, Service Providers, Teleports/Satellite Uplinks and IPTV/OTT Contribution & Regional Networks, have an increasing need for operational flexibility, service turn-aroundspeedandseamlessconfigurationchanges/transitions for the delivery of multi-format multi-channel special event and recurring occasional-use video transmissions.
Due to the inherited scalability constraints of traditional satellite based networks compared to hybrid ones, the value of those ser-vices is now substantially impacted. Capacity allocation limitations, service provisioning delays and high operating costs are some of the mainchallengesassociatedwithsatellitebasedworkflows.Thesechallengesarefurthermagnifiedinthebroadercontextofelevatedconsumer expectations for quality of experience, content mobility andinstantgratification(e.g.highquality,anytime,anywhereandon any screen).
Alleviating those challenges is essential for the overall market to thriveandefficientlyaccommodatetheprojectedgrowthinsupplyand demand for video content.
USE CASES #1: Transition from Legacy to Emerging Delivery Workflows
A satellite service provider in Middle East needs to accom-modate operators with legacy MPEG-2 based workflows aswell as operators that are migrating to H.264 based ones. HERO 5000E accommodated both cases by delivering MPEG-2 and H.264 encoded feeds out of the same encoder unit. As more operators gradually migrate out of legacy broadcast equipment, the service provider is able to recuperate the associated bandwidth and enhance ROI without additional CAPEX for technology refresh.
#2: Bandwidth Efficiency for Regional Distribution with HEVC
A content distribution operator in EMEA needs to increase the number of channels that can be transmitted across their satellite network without purchasing additional bandwidth capacity. Utilizing the HEVC compression on the HERO 5000E/D platforms, the Operator was able to double its channel capacity without impacting video quality and OPEX.
#3: Low-Latency Packet-Loss-Free Point-to-Multipoint over IP

The HERO 5000E/D solution enabled CDN-based packet-loss-free low-latency point-to-multipoint delivery for the broadcaster at 95% OPEX savings over the satellite option.
UNIQUE FEATURESHERO 5000E/D product line packs a multitude of unique features that further enhance the value of the solution:
• Support for conventional TS/FEC based workflows, as wellas for adaptive HTTP/TCP based ones for packet-loss free point-to-multipoint delivery.
• Built-itintegrationwithCDNauthenticationandpublishingpro-tocols for rapid service deployment.
