Built on software encoder components plus transport stream multiplexer and scrambler, it helps broadcasters minimize bit-rate while maintaining picture quality across MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC, and HEVC, including SD/HD/1080p/UHD with HDR. It delivers scalable cloud-native deployment options, strong reliability targets, comprehensive subtitles and caption management, wide audio codec support, and configuration/control via MediaKind Controller or optional nCompass.","Aquila Broadcast  \nPremium video compression  \nAquila Broadcast is the latest solution from MediaKind for broadcast compression headends, and is built on over 25 years heritage in providing such solutions. It is based around MediaKind’s software encoder for both live linear broadcast and streaming application. It also includes MediaKind's transport stream multiplexer and scrambler. It enables a broadcaster with:  \n• The minimum bit-rate required whilst maintaining picture quality whether using MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC or HEVC  \n• SD, HD, 1080P or UHD services, including support for High Dynamic Range  \n• Wide audio codec support  \n• Rich subtitles management including ingest of DVB subtitles, teletext and closed caption and their translations for each format  \nSingle solution for all infrastructures  \nAs operating a video headend is not the same for all, Aquila Broadcast can be deployed in different ways:  \n• Deployed either on:  \n• Mediakind reference hardware  \n• Dedicated data center hardware  \n• Private Cloud infrastructure  \n• Public Cloud deployment  \n• Optional nCompass control  \nThrough integral industry and technology partner integrations Aquila Broadcast provides a complete content delivery solution for broadcasters.  \n• Wide content protection support including a route to DVB-CSA V3 .  \n1 MediaKind Aquila Broadcast | 10-2021 v5 [mediakind.com](mediakind.com)  \nAquila Broadcast from MediaKind is a broadcasting solution which enables broadcasters to minimize costs whilst maintaining picture quality. It can also help improve operational efficiency, and provides a straightforward evolutionary path to all IP workflows, and deployment in private and public cloud.  \nVideo compression performance  \nVideo quality or compression performance is at the heart of Aquila Broadcast. It allows broadcasters to reduce the bit-rate required for each of their services whilst maintaining the picture quality. This can provide significant savings in transmission costs, or allow new services such as UHD channels to be launched within existing transmission network capacity.  \nMediaKind’s video algorithm team continually strive to improve the compression performance, not only on the latest codecs such as HEVC but also on MPEG-4 AVCand MPEG-2. After all the majority of TV services in the world are still encoded using MPEG-2.  \nThe goal is to deliver at least 10% improvement in video compression performance year on year.  \nOperational Excellence  \nOperational excellence is important and it helps provide the 99.999% reliability or better, that consumers expect from broadcast television. With the ever increasing pace of change, areas such as ease of operation, maintenance, upgrade, and the flexibility to easily expand a system in scale or functionality are increasingly important.  \nThe software components within Aquila Broadcast are all designed to be ‘cloud native’, which means that they are based around a micro-services architecture.  \nThis allows the same components within a system' (or similar) to be deployed as software only, on bare metal, or in a private or public cloud instance. For those who want a traditional, appliance style system, these same components can be deployed on individual servers  \nUltimately this means everyone can access the benefits offered by Aquila Broadcast today in the deployment model that suits their needs today, but with a clear evolutionary route to all IP workflows, and even cloud deployment in the future.  \nDeployment options  \nAquila Broadcast can be deployed as software only, running on standard COTS servers (which can optionally be supplied by MediaKind) or running on cloud instances whether they be private data centers or public cloud instances.  \nThe ability to deploy in cloud environments can enable easy solution software upgrades, easy scaling, and a degree of independence from hardware lifecycles. Additionally deployment in the public cloud makes it possible to scale the solution for events, to test at scale ","cbCaicQ1K68mtIoC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicQ1K68mtIoC","pdf",531953,2,1,5,"English","en",105,"# Overview\n## Supported services and codecs\n## Single solution across infrastructures\n# Video compression performance\n## Performance targets and codec coverage\n# Operational excellence\n## Cloud-native micro-services design\n# Deployment options\n## Software on servers and cloud instances\n## Control and upgrade path\n# Inputs and pre-processing\n## Compressed and baseband input types\n## Pre-processing metadata, enhancements, overlays\n# Video encoding and system capabilities\n## Protocols, monitoring, and data rates","[{\"question\":\"What broadcast workflows does Aquila Broadcast support?\",\"answer\":\"It supports live linear broadcast and streaming application workflows, integrating software encoding with transport stream multiplexer and scrambler functions.\"},{\"question\":\"Which video and audio codecs are supported?\",\"answer\":\"It supports MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC, and HEVC video encoding, and includes broad audio codec support such as Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3), AAC, HE-AAC, and Dolby E.\"},{\"question\":\"How can Aquila Broadcast be deployed?\",\"answer\":\"It can be deployed as software-only on standard servers or in private/public cloud instances, with cloud-native micro-services components and options for traditional appliance-like deployment on individual servers.\"}]","Aquila Broadcast -
