This joint display of an end-to-end 4K/UHD live workflow solution is designed to show how ultra-high quality contribution feeds can be produced and utilized not only by 4K live distribution but also by an OTT multiscreen distribution chain in real time, catering for 4K/UHD smart TVs down to QVGA resolution for mobile phones from a single source.

NEL's 4K/UHD/3D contribution solution has been deployed for many live events in Japan over the last three years and earned praises from our customers as the most practical and reliable approach for transmitting 4K live contribution feeds over satellite or fiber networks, using our state-of-the-art Full HD H.264/AVC multi-channel encoder XVE9310.

Additionally, OTT service providers can take advantage of Media Excel's state-of-the-art transcoder to convert feeds into any resolution/any format and offer their customers value-add services with the best quality picture available in the market.
