With thousands o Harmonic encoders delivering video to tens o millions o viewers around

the world, Harmonic is a recognized leader in advanced digital video solutions. The Electra 1000

Multichannel MPEG-2 VBR Encoder builds upon Harmonics video compression expertise, reliability

service and support to provide a high-density encoding solution with outstanding perormance and

video quality.

The Electra 1000 optimizes compression eiciency with up to our variable bit-rate (VBR) encoder

and ten stereo audio pairs in a single rack-unit (1-RU) chassis that is managed through Harmonic

NMX Digital Service Manager. Using the Electra 1000, service providers can more eectively launch

digital video services while minimizing capital and operating expenses.

With its standard IP interaces, the Electra 1000 can be easily incorporated in Harmonics DiviTrackIPclosed-loop statistical multiplexing solution. DiviTrackIP provides signiicant operational advantages

and cost beneits by connecting encoders and multiplexers via a switched IP network rather than

port-to-port ASI interconnects. As a result, any encoder anywhere in the network can eiciently be

part o any multiplex, essentially creating a virtual headend.

UncompromisingPerformance-For service

providers desiring the highest-quality

picture, the Electra 1000 blends the latest

video compression algorithms with state-o-

the-art pre-processing to create exceptional

broadcast-quality video services. ENRGY

integrated noise reduction, based on

MCTF and other advanced lters, improves

compression at low bit-rates by removing

noise while maintaining picture sharpness.

And, LookAhead multi-pass analysis

determines the complexity o each video ramein advance and helps optimize compression.

Robustanaloginterfaces-The Electra 1000s

video and audio inputs are designed to

accommodate the ull range o source quality.

By removing spurious noise rom the source

signal during the analog-to-digital conversion,

the Electra 1000 encoder urther enhances the

quality o digital services.

Spaceandenergyeciency-Supporting up to

our video and ten stereo channels in a 1-RU

chassis, the Electra 1000s compact ootprint

conserves rack space, allowing operators to

deploy or expand digital services without

sacricing valuable headend real estate. And,

low power consumption improves cooling

eciency and reduces utility bills.

Supportforall-IPinfrastructure-The Electra

1000s native IP interace makes it easy to

leverage the exibility, scalability and cost-

efectiveness o all-IP video transport solutions.
