Features and Benefits

The ME-7000 high performance converged compression platform is focused on the efficient delivery of high quality linear broadcast video for IPTV, cable, satellite and OTT applications. It provides multi-codec support of HEVC, MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-2 encoding. Output formats may be UltraHD 4k, HD, SD or multi-bitrate (MBR) transcoding for ABR multi-screen IP video delivery.

Through the optimum combination of ASIC-based compression technologies coupled with ARRIS video pre-processing software enhancements it provides the best of hardware and software architectures, delivering high-density and high video quality in a future-proof, upgradable platform. The ME-7000 provides a flexible and easily upgradeable system with cost saving low power per channel to provide simultaneous multi-format outputs in any environment.

The ARRIS ME-7000 converged compression platform provides unmatched video compression efficiency for the highest quality video at all bit-rates. Dedicated encoding/transcoding hardware, using the latest compression silicon designs and software techniques, delivers incredible density, saving valuable rack-space and power. Designed for 24x7 operation, the ME-7000 is the best choice for service providers delivering multi-format video services to their subscribers.

Dedicated programmable silicon designed for multi-codec compression
A consistent, high density channel count within a 1RU platform, independent of input or output encoding formats
Dual hot-swappable power supplies for ultimate flexibility of 24 x 7 operation
Flexible configuration options simplify headend architectures, reduce chassis count, and increase reliability
Embedded Element ManagerGUI for easy drag and drop configuration and management along with XML configuration over HTTPS
Reduced capital and operational costs through reduced rack-space, less power and cooling requirements, compared with software based encoders
Modular upgradeability to UHD, HEVC codec support as required
