Professional 4:2:2 AVC/H.264 IRD "HVD6100"
Product overview
HVD6100 is the world's first professional IRD that combines decoder functionality with support for AVC/H.264 HDTV, 4:2:2 chroma with a DVB-S2 demodulator. The decoder function supports multi-format (AVC/H.264 and MPEG-2, 4:2:2/4:2:0 chroma and HDTV/SDTV) and comes equipped with a variety of features such as HDTV/SDTV resolution conversion. The demodulator function supports DVB-S2, DVB-DSNG and DVB-S formats for high-performance satellite transmissions.
Booth demonstration
Videos compressed using two different bitrates were demonstrated using a triple PDP monitor. We exhibited an Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) that achieves about 300 msec with an actual measurement.
AVC/H.264 HDTV/SDTV encoder "HVE9100"
Product overview
With an AVC/H.264 Encoder LSI chipset built-in that supports 4:2:2 Chroma, the HVE9100 provides high-quality and low latency in a wide range of bit rate. It supports MPEG-2 format for smooth transition from existing MPEG-2 equipment to the up-and-coming AVC/H.264 format.
Booth demonstration
We used the HVE9100(encoder) / HVD6100(decoder) and performed a demonstration which showed the high definition quality.
HV9100 Series, offers both high video quality and low latency at a high rate and supports the AVC/H.264 4:2:2 chroma format. For these reasons, the HV9100 series was selected as the codec equipment for HD sports provider MLB Network.
MPEG-2 HDTV/SDTV Multi-Channel Encoder "MPC1010"
Product overview
The MPC1010 is a digital broadcast platform that can be installed with multiple MPEG-2 HDTV/SDTV encoders which allows for high image quality, high reliability and high cost performance. With an encoder IC that provides high-quality MPEG-2 videos, the unit supports both HDTV (1080i and 720p) and SDTV (576i and 480i) standards.
Booth demonstration
We exhibited 4ch simultaneous output using one set of HD PDP and a triple SD monitor. The MPC1010 has a modular design that allows for flexible adaptation to operator needs and can provide simultaneous encoding of up to four different video and audio channels in a single rack. The MPC1010 drew great interest from NAB attendees considering the introduction of a terrestrial broadcasting system.

NAB visitors to NTT Electronics' booth were drawn by our experience delivering world-class HD sports programming such as the recent Beijing Olympics, UEFA2008 and the Tour de France. Since the HV9100 series was selected as the codec equipment for HD sports coverage on MLB Network just prior to NAB term, many other sports broadcasters and content production companies at NAB also expressed great interest in learning the details of NTT Electronics' latest products and applications.
As always, we appreciate your comments. They are an invaluable guide for us as we develop our products to meet the requirements of various worldwide markets.
