Introduction
1.2 SPR1100 Systems Overview
The Ericsson SPR1100 is a high-density-broadcast video processor for operators to
launch additional television services to the home, manage and migrate to MPEG-4
AVC, simplify time-shift TV ingest processing, and enable cost-efficient disaster
recovery sites for business continuity.
Designed for video-turnaround applications requiring video and audio transcoding or
bit-rate changing, the Ericsson SPR1100 supports any-to-any MPEG-2 / MPEG-4
AVC / HD / SD transcoding for up to 24 HD or 72 SD video services, up to 144
stereo audio services and can simultaneously generate Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
service for all channels processed.
The SPR1100 Stream Processor is suited for Telco and Cable IPTV platforms. In
addition, it can serve as a high-quality bit-rate changer allowing for lower overall bit
rates or VBR to CBR conversion for applications such as time-shift TV ingest.
1.2.1 Application Overview: Broadcast Transcoding
The SPR1100 targets four application areas.
1.2.1.1 Application #1: Channel Tiering
Operators have extensive channel line-ups, but
not all channels are treated equally.
Some channels are premium and drive the majority of viewing figures, whereas
other channels represent the long-tail of viewing. Such channels include, for
example, must-carry channels, specialist channels, etc.
Presenting operators with a single product to cover this range is not viable.
Premium products are too expensive for the long-tail channels, whereas non-
premium products do not offer sufficient picture quality for the main channels.
The solution is a product range that enables channel tiering. In Ericsson’s case, the
VPC chassis coupled with EN-series cards represents our premium offering, with a
focus on picture quality and the expense of density. The SPR1100 targets the long-
tail channels, and focuses on density whilst making as small a compromise as
possible in picture quality.
