TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Aug. 30th, 2012,  ViXS Systems Inc. today announced the XCode Xtensiv Cloud Transcoding platform based on its XCodePro 200 series. XCodePro 200 provides the lowest power consumption per stream of any commercially available transcoder chipset.  With over 40 engaged infrastructure customers and end products deployed on 5 continents the XCodePro 200 is the 4th generation chipset targeted at the professional market and represents over 5 years of development.  Focused on robustness, error correction, and video quality improvements to meet the rigorous quality demands and 24/7 uptime requirements in this market;, the Xtensiv Cloud Transcoding platform is the most complete software platform available. ViXS' investment in this robust platform simplifies deployment in cloud implementations and ensures quick time to market with minimal engineering expenditures for customers.  At IBC 2012, ViXS will display the XCode Xtensiv Cloud platform along with a number of other advanced Infrastructure solutions.

ViXS infrastructure highlights at IBC will include the following:

  • The Highest Density Adaptive Bit Rate Streaming and Dense Transcoding SoC in the market
  • Single Chip MPEG2 and AVC HD Encoders
  • Closed Caption and Ancillary Data Support
  • On-the-fly bit rate and resolution changes
  • MPEG2 HD Transcoding and Encoding for legacy infrastructure
  • Latest Advancements in ViXS Broadcast Video Quality
  • Innovative Digital Signage Solution

ViXS' Cloud transcoding solutions give customers the ability to create a great diversity of network and edge products that seamlessly interoperate while dramatically reducing both Cap Ex and Op Ex costs to service operators.  ViXS enables customers to reduce network bandwidth loads while supporting a broad range of consumer electronic devices. Consumers enjoy the content, while remaining unaware of the complex range of codec, container, bit-rate and resolution conversions necessary to support these devices.

"This is a great accomplishment for ViXS and we are very proud of the hard work that went into establishing our leading position in high-density cloud transcoding solutions", said Sally Daub, President and CEO at ViXS Systems Inc. "The exponential rate of customer adoption of our infrastructure solutions is a direct response to the rapid growth in consumer demand for Adaptive Bit Rate streaming.  This demand is poised to eclipse the scalability of existing solutions available to operators today.  New and innovative solutions such as XCodePro are necessary to provide this scalability".

ViXS products, solutions and technology will be on display from September 7th through 11th at Suite G104 of the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam NL.
