Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier to Multiscreen Services in Russia

Multiscreen video delivery is the number one concern among service providers in Russia. At CSTB last month, Motorola announced an answer to the complexity and processing demands of multiscreen with a new gigapixel solution. For the first time outside of the US, Motorola Mobility's GT-3 Adaptive Bit Rate Transcoder was on display to the public (image above).

Russia is experiencing an explosion in appetite for compelling new video services. Front of mind for all Russian service providers—whether telecommunications companies, IPTV providers or cable operators—is how to deliver extraordinary and rewarding video experiences on more than just the living room screen.

Motorola Mobility's GT-3 Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) Transcoder brings rich multiscreen video quality and channel density to service providers and is able to process three billion pixels of video content per second, blowing away traditional server-based ABR transcoders. Its launch in Russia represents an unrivalled opportunity for local service providers to provide better quality TV experiences on any device, over managed and unmanaged networks.

Bringing Advanced, Wireless Multi Room Services to Russian Subscribers

Delivering multiscreen services involves two distinct service provider challenges:

1) handling the immense bandwidth and data processing loads
2) offering a smart and simple connected experience to consumers.

Motorola's GT-3, announced last month in Russia, lets local service providers address the first step of multiscreen delivery, but they still face the challenge of delivering a seamless user experience.

Those of us that have multi-room services in our homes will be familiar with negotiating reams of wires, running throughout the house, getting tangled behind the TV. For subscribers of two of Russia's biggest providers, tangled wiring is now a thing of the past—thanks to Motorola's VAP2400.

Rostelecom and Vimpelcom have introduced a brand new way for subscribers to enjoy full-HD multi-room services wirelessly—dramatically reducing the amount of unsightly cables running between rooms. Both service providers have both chosen Motorola's VAP2400 wireless bridge to provide an easy-to-install wireless service that allows sparkling video viewing almost anywhere in the house.

And the real beauty of it? No need for an engineer to visit—easy!
