Today, as more and more broadcasting systems require content to be sourced from multiple signals and transmitted through various media, the demand for better utilization of the inherent network efficiency in the IP domain is increasing. Today's customers recognize that with the continuous improvement of compression technology, the expanding network, and the decreasing product prices, IP infrastructure will ultimately become the backbone of broadcasting systems. While this transition will ultimately promote cost savings, there will undoubtedly be many challenges during the process.
Harris Selenio™ is the next-generation modular solution that offers a new approach to networking and signal processing in the integrated baseband/broadband domain. With Selenio, Harris introduces the industry's first integrated media convergence platform.
Platform Evolution — Revolutionizing Your Workflow. Selenio integrates traditional baseband video and audio processing, compression, and IP networking capabilities all within a single space-saving 3RU chassis. This technological combination enables unprecedented large-scale, fully functional multi-channel video and audio processing, distribution, and compression applications.
Want to manage these functions? This new platform features a highly intuitive, feature-rich, web-based built-in graphical user interface powered by Microsoft® Silverlight® technology, providing operators with most of the required functionalities — no need to wade through piles of manuals or learn a multitude of specialized commands.
Now, you can manage baseband and IP more efficiently and intelligently. Reduce cabling, simplify broadcasting infrastructure. Flexibly adapt to various compression standards, video/audio signals, and encoding formats. Selenio has everything you need for today's operational business and offers you a clear, cost-effective expansion solution.
