Xylosteam has partnered with General Dynamics Mediaware to bring you InStream for HEVC: a cost effective, digital ad insertion and program splicing technology that is ready to work with Ultra HD content encoded in HEVC.
The InStream suite provides a complete compressed domain ad insertion and program splicing workflow including ingest, format conversion, file management and splicing. InStream can be used to cost effectively upgrade an existing baseband workflow or to create a new end-to-end compressed domain workflow.
There are two primary components to the solution: InStream Splice performs stream-to-file and stream-to-stream splicing, and InStream Convert transcodes file-based source material to match on-air video profiles. InStream Convert is tailored to InStream Splice to provide a complete content preparation and delivery solution.
InStream with HEVC is perfectly suited for operators testing or launching Ultra HD channels who are seeking ways to localise and monetise content, enabling a one-time investment in Ultra HD to be re-used across multiple target audiences and with advertising assets created in Ultra HD or upconverted from HD.
