Space Norway has chosen Media Excel's HERO 6000 platform to power its new encoding headend for premium video distribution. This extends the existing partnership between the two companies.
The implementation will support almost 200 linear channels and is designed for five-nines reliability for crucial broadcast operations. The HERO 6000 combines very low latency with support for multiple codecs including AVC, HEVC, AV1, and VVC. It can be used on-premises, in the cloud, or in mixed setups.
Media Excel's AI-powered DIVA (Dynamic Intelligent Video Adaptation) will be used to adjust profiles in real-time to maintain quality even when network conditions change. This will help Space Norway to optimize bandwidth and streamline operations.
According to Space Norway, the platform matches its focus on secure, constant service. Media Excel considers this win a demonstration of its ability to compete based on video quality, reliability, and overall cost.
