4Caster C4 HD from Envivio significantly enhances video quality over previous generation encoders while dramatically reducing the bit rate required for delivering the highest quality HD to below 6Mbps. It enables Elion's service to travel further and to more points across its existing DSL network, extending its service to more potential subscribers without the need to expand network infrastructure. That same efficiency also gives Elion the capacity to carry more channels or to increase the quality of its existing channels without increasing its bandwidth overhead.

"DigiTV has proven to be an extremely popular service as part of our triple play package," said Jaan Inno, technical development department manager at Elion. "Our subscribers have come to expect outstanding video quality and Envivio's 4Caster C4 HD solution for IPTV ensures that Elion can grow as needed while ensuring that we maintain the very highest quality standards."

Sales and installation services for the systems were provided by Envivio partner Scansatel, one of the leading service providers in Finland and the Baltic region in the field of broadband and IP technology.

4Caster C4 from Envivio combines the performance of the latest generation Intel multi-core processors with advanced video compression codecs developed by Envivio. Its flexible software architecture allows Envivio to make continual quality enhancements and feature additions. The high availability IPTV platform delivers 99.999% uptime and unshakeable performance with fully redundant signal routing and power management. Fault tolerance throughout the headend is increased by redundant components administered via the Envivio 4Manager headend management system which provides automatic 1+1 or N+1 redundancy protection and high level service supervision. The 4Caster C4 encoder/transcoder can be extended to support distribution to mobile and broadband devices.
