As a low-cost solution that is widely available and easily understood, effectively leveraging an existing infrastructure—such as 270Mbps SDI—for HD video transport is critical today. For 270Mbps circuits dedicated to a single HD service, JPEG 2000 compression is the best option, providing maximum video payload over ASI or SDTI. Video rates up to 200Mbps can be provisioned over ASI, maximizing video quality. JPEG 2000 provides visually lossless video quality (imperceptible quality difference from the source) at video rates of 125Mbps for HD video. Ventura modules from Nevion can also employ 270Mbps signals as building blocks, multiplexing them in groups of four or eight for carriage over higher speed connections. Time division – and wavelength division multiplexing can be used in combination to create arbitrary levels of signal aggregation.

• Instead of replacing, update legacy infrastructure for CAPEX savings
• Visually lossless quality—imperceptible differences to broadcast professionals
• Lowest latency (45ms) for complete encode – decode cycle
• NEBS 3 – compliant Ventura products for use in any telco (or other demanding) environment
• JPEG 2000 Ventura solutions provide a familiar upgrade to already deployed fiber and SONET products
