| Posted: July 2009 | ||||||
 Taiwan’s Public Television Service Foundation (PTS) has chosen to use Harmonic’s MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) digital video technologies
in the roll-out of the island-state’s first HD and SD H.264 terrestrial broadcast service. PTS produces and transmits free public-TV programming to viewers throughout Taiwan via its DVB-T network. Its new video service — powered by Harmonic’s DiviCom Electra 7000 and 5400 encoders, ProStream 1000 stream processing platform, with DiviTrackIP distributed statistical multiplexing, and NMX Digi-tal Service Manager — was successfully launched earlier this year. PTS, founded in 1998 as a terrestrial TV channel, was charged in 2006 by the -Taiwanese government to develop a HDTV transmission station. The broadcaster produces a range of high-quality, independent content, including local and national news, documentaries, drama films, children’s programmes and other critically-acclaimed content. “PTS is committed to producing exceptional programming and building the highest-quality infrastructure to support the delivery of HD and SD content,” said CF Yang, engineering department man-ager, PTS. “Harmonic’s Electra H.264 en-coders and DiviTrackIP statistical multiplexing solution have met our stringent standards for quality and performance, enabling us to provide Taiwan’s TV audience with a very compelling HD viewing experience. “We continue to be impressed with the strength of Harmonic’s H.264 digital video solutions, which have been seamlessly integrated into our network.” Added Raymond Tse, vice-president of Asia-Pacific Sales, Harmonic: “By upgrading its MPEG-2 digital video infrastructure with a next-generation H.264 transmission system, PTS has been able to efficiently introduce a higher-quality and more bandwidth-efficient SD and HD service for its viewers in Taiwan.” Harmonic’s terrestrial broadcast technologies have been deployed around the world, enabling broadcasters to rapidly -respond to market demands for high-quality digital content.” Double Advance Technology was Harmonic’s system integrator for the PTS job, providing installation, project management and related services.
