The 8K immersive experience goes beyond higher pixel count. When combined with high frame rate and high dynamic range, 8K creates hyper-realistic video images that boost viewer engagement. For broadcasters and media service providers, this next generation experience poses several workflow challenges. 8K is a bandwidth hungry technology that pushes the contribution and delivery infrastructure to its limits. Advanced compression techniques are required to optimize 8K bitrate and enable 8K delivery to the broader audience in the 5G hyperconnected era. However, coding efficiency comes at a high computational cost which in the case of live 8K streaming can compromise its viability.
Advantech VEGA Live 8K Streaming Solutions integrate latest 8Kp60 10-bit 4:2:2 encoding and decoding technology, video I/O, remote web-based configuration, and local HLS or RTP encapsulation in low footprint and efficient platforms that accelerate 8K adoption. These optimized live 8K streaming servers and appliances have been carefully designed to minimize 8K infrastructure impact and help media companies upgrade their viewer experience to the next level.
