Harmonic has expanded its Ellipse 3000 family of encoders for digital satellite newsgathering with the introduction of two encoders. The Ellipse 3102 and Ellipse 3202 offer 4:2:2 10-bit encoding for 1080p 60fps content.
The Ellipse 3202 comes with an integrated modular that supports both DVB carrier ID standards that are used to reduce interference between satellite signals and improve performance. It also features all the basic output interfaces including ASI and IP.
The Ellipse 3102 on the other hand offers simultaneous IP and DVB-ASI outputs making it an option for fixed line contribution over IP or telecommunication networks.
Harmonic will be showcasing the new Ellipse products at IBC2014 being held in Amsterdam this coming September.
