Harmonic’s ProStream™ 2000 is a multi-service HD and SD MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and MPEG-2 digital splicer that supports real-time and seamless splicing of multiple compressed video and audio services, primarily for ad insertion applications. The technically advanced ProStream 2000 does not degrade video quality, which can occur with other splicing solutions. As a result, operators can more effectively insert national or local ads in the digital stream. The ProStream 2000’s density and versatility make it possible for operators to reduce cost per channel with a scalable and distributed architecture, and better take advantage of incremental revenue opportunities with digital ad insertion as they launch new SD and HD services.
