Thomson's ViBE XT1000 Xtream Wins IBC2014 Award

Thomson Video Networks has announced that its ViBE™ XT1000 Xtream Transcoder high-density video transcoder for OTT, cable, and telco applications, won an IBC2014 Best of Show Award by TV Technology Europe.

"Last month we announced our Behind Every Screen approach to video delivery that combines on-premises and cloud-based resources to support our customers' broadcast and multi-screen services. The ViBE XT1000 is a crucial new piece of that strategy because our customers are under increasing pressure to launch new turnaround services rapidly and cost-effectively," said Christophe Delahousse, president, Thomson Video Networks. "Winning this coveted award not only puts us in very good company, but also verifies that we're on the right track with our strategy and product development, and filling a real need in the market."

Winners were selected by panels of professional users and editors based on descriptions provided by exhibitors and on the judges' inspection at the convention. TV Technology Europe announced the winners on Sept. 16.
The ViBE XT1000 supports up to 54 HD channels or 180 SD channels with transcoding from any format to any format including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/AVC.
