Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)/Radio-Canada has selected Synamedia's video network portfolio and expertise to transition from SDI to IP-based infrastructure amid its relocation to a new broadcast center in Montreal.
The software transition involves Synamedia's virtualized Digital Content Manager (DCM) in a SMPTE 2110 IP-based infrastructure and the PowerVu Professional Receiver (D9800).
CBC’s team knew they needed a partner with capabilities and expertise in encoding and transcoding, multiplexing, satellite receivers and decoders, and monitoring and network management. Synamedia’s video network portfolio has a comprehensive set of features and benefits that CBC needed, including:
- The PowerVu Professional Receiver (D9800), for a graceful transition to the next generation of distribution solutions.
- The virtualized DCM which virtualizes the entire video headend, providing encoding, statistical multiplexing and packaging capabilities in a single solution.
- The Video Network Service Manager, a management solution which envelops a powerful set of configuration, monitoring and managing tools for Synamedia’s video network solutions for streaming, cable and telco’s video and audio systems distribution.
