With any transition to Ultra HD (UHD) reliant on more efficient video encoding, video-over-IP specialist Digigram said that it was partnering with Kalray to use the latter company's multi-purpose processor array (MPPA for short) to develop real-time HEVC video encoders.
"Our technology partnership with Kalray makes it possible for us to introduce highly efficient real-time HEVC encoding to our product line very quickly and … enable our customers to dramatically reduce bandwidth requirements and accelerate their deployment of Ultra HD TV to multiscreen OTT applications," said Digigram President and CEO Philippe Delacroix in a prepared statement.
Digigram said the new technology will be integrated into its products to allow HEVC HD and UHD video encoding for broadcast and OTT content delivery.
Kalray had demonstrated a low-power UHD HEVC 60p encoder running on its MPPA processor at NAB 2014, using 2048 processor cores on two PCIe acceleration boards with power requirements of less than 50W per board.
