Helix Mobile Producer

Next-Generation Helix Mobile Producer

The next-generation Helix Mobile Producer architecture combines industry-leading mobile video quality with the interoperability, performance and reliability mobile operators worldwide have come to expect from Helix Technology. Next generation encoding advancements include multi-channel video input, monitoring and support for exciting features such as Live Rate Adaptation. The next-generation Helix Mobile Producer teams up with the Helix Mobile Server and Helix client technologies to form the definitive end-to-end solution for future-proof mobile video.

High Quality Encoding
Highly optimized H.263 and H.264 video compression for both live and on-demand content for delivering the best video quality to mobile devices.

Multi-Channel Input / Multiple Profile Output Capacity High density four channel input supporting up to 12 output profiles maximizes encoding capacity, throughput, and supported devices.

Live Rate Adaptation and Multi-Rate File Creation— Create multi-rate streams to improve overall end-user QoS by delivering the highest bit-rate possible supported by the wireless network at any given time for both live and on-demand content.

Full Automation and Productivity Toolset— Fully automate the encoding process with the command-line interface and maximize productivity with XML job file templates – tailored recipes for mobile devices.

Quality Monitoring — Audio and video watchdogs reports for no, noisy or frozen video channel and for silent, imbalanced, clipping or out of phase audio channel. A graphical audio/video preview, encoding and broadcast statistics and session logging highlight bitrate, frame rate, latency, packets and quality.

Settings Advisor — This GUI settings advisor provides automatic alerts of errors, warnings and informational conditions to help optimize encoding recipes. Standards-based guard railing ensures compatible stream delivery.

v13 FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS

Live Rate Adaptation (LRA)
Improves overall end-user QoS by automatically delivering the highest bit-rate stream supported by the network at any given time. Seamlessly manages network fluctuations, such as signal strength, bearer handover and network congestion.

Quality Monitoring
Audio and video watchdogs reports for no, noisy or frozen video channel and for silent, imbalanced, clipping or out of phase audio channel.

Settings Advisor
This GUI settings advisor provides automatic alerts of errors, warnings and informational conditions to help optimize encoding recipes
