Teleste Project To Explore Hybrid Distribution Over Networks

Communications group Teleste has joined forces with major media technology companies from five European countries to participate in an industry-driven Celtic-Plus research project: H2B2VS - HEVC Hybrid Broadcast Broadband Video Services.
The project will explore the hybrid distribution of TV programmes and services over broadcast and broadband networks, focusing on key factors that will impact the delivery of multimedia contents in Europe. The project will be carried out during the period 2013-2015 and it is coordinated by Thomson Video Networks.
Research shows consumer demand for new services is increasing heavily, with the number of TV sets connected to the Internet expected to grow to more than 500 million by 2016.
The H2B2VS project will focus on the hybrid distribution of TV programmes and services in broadcast and broadband networks while making use of the new video compression standard: High Efficient Video Codec (HEVC).
The project aims to propose solutions that will ensure the best quality of experience for end-users and drive the development of new video streaming services and future commercial products.
Teleste will be presenting its latest innovations and solutions for video transmission in cable and hybrid networks at IBC2013, 13-17 September, in Amsterdam.
