Telvue® B1000 HyperCaster™

Easy & Affordable Digital TV
The B1000 HyperCaster is an innovative, cost-effective digital broadcast server that provides IP video
origination for up to 20 SD or HD channels. Designed for 24/7 reliability and user-friendliness, the system
can be broadcasting high-quality digital video TV channels within minutes of its arrival.Operators can
easily ingest, search, manage, and schedule content using a simple, drag-and-drop interface and intuitive
program timeline.
By promoting a streamlined, file-based workflow, the B1000 HyperCaster dramatically reduces capital
and operating costs and increases productivity. Since the workflow is 100% digital from content ingest to
output, and compatible with today’s native IP Gigabit Ethernet networks, the HyperCaster eliminates costly
per-channel, real-time video encoders and the power, cooling, and rack space they require. This improved
workflow also relieves skilled head-end technicians of the tedious, time-consuming duties associated with
managing real-time encoders and legacy analog playout servers. Morale goes up while programming
errors go down.
For applications that require baseband video output, the HyperCaster now supports optional integrated
decoding to SD/HD-SDI, or Composite/Component/HDMI. Each decoded channel supports automatic
up & down conversion, seamless format switching on the fly, MPEG-2 and H.264, and SD & HD up to
1080p. You can run a mix of decoder outputs and digital IP channels off a single HyperCaster. With the
new output options, you get the best of all worlds: an IP broadcasting core with multi-format
MPEG-2 and H.264 playback and native digital IP switching, and your choice of IP, SD/HD-SDI,
Composite, Component, or HDMI outputs.
Key to HyperCaster’s compelling value proposition is its open, IT-friendly Linux platform and support for
industry standard codecs. Its interface with CCMS-compatible traffic and billing systems enables such
automatic tasks as search and transfer of files from networked storage, missing media notifications, and
as-run log verification. And native MPEG-2 transport allows HyperCaster to integrate with digital ad
insertion systems and EBIF interactive applications.
When the end-to-end workflow is streamlined and automated by the B1000 HyperCaster’s rich feature
set, local access, local origination, and long-form advertising channels can become significant profit
centers for cable, telco, and government access television providers.
