Thomson-Networks

The Thomson ViBE encoder range offers unparalleled picture quality while the Thomson NetProcessor is the most advanced multiplexer/stream processor on the market and is ideally suited for content regionalization. The NetProcessor, in fact, features such advanced functions as permanent insertion of local channels and live-to-live regional switchover. It also provides local ad insertion (substitution of national commercials with local ones) and if required SFN adaptation.

In the United States, Thomson has been providing ATSC digital television stations with compression systems for a number of years and has recently enabled these stations to deliver two HD channels within their dedicated bandwidth as well as introduced ATSC M/H technologies.
