Harley Prosteam 9000 ACE Transcoding Platform Technical Specifications

ProStream9100 offers exceptional video quality and flexibility, supporting a variety of complex digital processing applications such as digital video conversion, any audio and video transcoding, and real-time adaptive streaming. It addresses current broadcasting and multi-screen I/O formats, and scales easily to accommodate future formats.
ProStream9100 ACE features a super high-density architecture that significantly reduces the required rack space to meet the growing demands for processing and transcoding. The system's flexibility and versatility in implementing workflows are enhanced by modular audio/video processing modules and next-generation high-capacity IP processing cards. Low power consumption, high reliability, and simplified maintainability are combined into one of the best-in-class multi-format platforms, delivering outstanding video quality and OPEX.
