MAYAH Audio & Video Codecs for MobileTV and ipTV
Even broader applications range to be presented at IBC 2006

IBCMeet MAYAH at IBC in Amsterdam from 8 till 12 September 2006:
Hall 1 Booth 231

August 16, 2006. Hallbergmoos. This year at IBC MAYAH focuses on successful audio and video encoding solutions for MobileTV (DVB-H / DMB) and SD IPTV, as well as on further developments for mono, stereo and multichannel audio transmissions over variety of networks and protocols. Another point for MAYAH in Amsterdam will be the constantly growing integration capabilities of its codecs within new and existing DVB installations.

With audio via IP becoming more and more a replacement of existing synchronous networks and even being a subject of EBU standardization efforts, MAYAH products view back to a history of more than 6 years supporting IP protocols and are accepted by many European broadcasters as a standard. Their application range becomes even broader with the latest developments in the video broadcasting field.

Video

Audio video en/decoder IO [io] 8000 / 8001 and Audio Gateway Codecs CENTAURI II 300x and 400x support MPEG-4 SP, ASP, H.264/AVC as well as MPEG-4 HE AAC v2 encoding algorithms. They were used for multiple MobileTV and IPTV trials all over the world in 2005 and 2006. Among the broadcasters which utilized them are Bavarian Television (Bayerischer Rundfunk) and T-Systems in Germany, TDF in France, several broadcasters in South-East Asia and Australia..

IO [io] secures the stream of a highest end-device compatibility and perfectly optimized for the most MobileTV applications, using technologies like CABAC, Loop Filter, Look-ahead, Scene Change Detection and 5 complexity modes for different platforms.

The codec also features MPEG TS (Transport Stream) with FEC (Forwards Error Correction) over IP and ASI interfaces, as well as “pure” IP / RTP based transmission of audio/video signals with an incredible low latency. ISMA 2.0 compliant streams are fully interoperable with QuickTime, Windows Media, Real, VLC and set-top-boxes. This is particularly useful for an IPTV applications.

Audio

Audio en/decoding solutions of MAYAH combine a plug-and-play simplicity with a power-user performance and features. These include mono, stereo and multichannel audio for Point-to-Point / Point-to-Multipoint or Uni/Multicast transmissions over IP, ISDN and X.21 / V.35 broadcast interfaces, as well as support of the widest range of network protocols and coding algorithms: G.722, the whole MPEG range, including MPEG-4 HE AAC v2, Eapt-X, 4SB ADPCM / Micda, J.41, J.57 and many others.

Original developments such as Backup and Gateway functions, Twin/Quad Codec and FlashCast technologies allow respectively automatic switching to another stream/network in case of the main route failure, real-time audio re-streaming with any network / coding settings, simultaneous transmission to various destinations with various stream parameters and automatic recognition of more than 95% of all encoded audio signal types in the world.

 

New features and options of MAYAH Audio Gateway Codecs to be entirely presented at IBC 2006

AES Transparent option allows the IP-based transmission of up to 4x AES/EBU signal streams with 3.072 Mbit/s each. Transparent means the simultaneous transmission of 24-bit audio signals and 8-bit additional signals. This is particularly suitable for the transmission of a Dolby-E or DTS audio streams.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is very familiar in the VoIP industry and integrated with the other protocols it allows to establish, control, terminate and modify point-to-point and multipoint connections. Similar to the well-known among the broadcasting professionals ISDN-session initiation.

Support of MPEG Transport Streams (TS) with a Forward Error Correction (FEC) provides very reliable connections for many possible broadcasting applications with various needs and in particular for the highly standardized MobileTV environment (DVB-H and DMB).

ASI interface which is available for the Centauri II Audio Gateway Codecs as well as for MAYAH Audio/Video Codecs IO [io] 8000 / 8001 is designed for an effective transmission of the MPEG Transport Streams (TS) over coaxial cable within the 270 Mbit/s physical link data rate. With this option MAYAH products can be easily integrated into virtually any DVB installation.

Dual Ethernet allows MAYAH Centauri II to distribute the audio-over-IP and remote control data streams over two separate logical networks. The second Ethernet card can also be used for a fully redundant audio streaming.

Redundant Power Supply enables CENTAURI II to operate even after one power supply failure. In order to allow a permanent operation the power supplies are hot swappable.

8x Opto In / Relay Out interface as an alternative to the 4x TTL IO.
