Harmonic’s market-leading Electra® family of multi-service IP-based encoders provides operators with the highest performance solution for ultra-high quality video delivered at ultra-low bit-rates. The 1-RU Electra encoders support multi-channel and multi-format delivery for up to four full resolution and four simultaneous low resolution video outputs in HD H.264, SD H.264 or SD MPEG-2.

The Electra 9000 universal broadcast and multiscreen encoder is the world’s first multi-codec, multi-format video encoder for broadcast, satellite, telco and cable operators that simultaneously supports broadcast, mobile and web formats in a 1-RU chassis. This integrated broadcast and multiscreen compression platform continues Electra’s leadership in video quality and multi-function collapse to provide a flexible, open, scalable architecture that integrates easily with existing broadcast infrastructure and enables new multiscreen services, while lowering capital and operating expenses.

For broadcast applications, the Electra 8000 Universal SD/HD MPEG-2 and AVC Encoder significantly enhances bandwidth, while simplifying operation and reducing power and space requirements. Supporting up to four channels of HD or SD, CBR or VBR, MPEG-2 or AVC, the Electra 8000 offers broadcasters an efficient, high-quality compression platform.

The Ion family of encoders gives service providers an ideal solution for expanding digital video services while minimizing capital and operating expenses. Supporting both constant and variable bit-rate (CBR and VBR) encoding for MPEG-2 and CBR H.264 compression, the Ion enables operators to deploy a cost-effective digital television service.

For both ASI and IP based headend environments, Harmonic's DiviTrack line offers the most advanced, scalable multiplexing solutions that support either standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD) video pools as well as mixed SD/HD pools.
