Caton Technology unveils new powerful
switchable encoders-decoders
Singapore-based vendor adds Caton Prime for Ultra HD, and
Caton Live for versatility in delivery to multiple platforms...
aton Technology, a pioneer in nextgeneration
IP network transport
solutions, has further extended its
solutions with two new switchable
encoder-decoder appliances.
Each is designed to deliver securely
encrypted, high value content over any
IP network, using the Caton Transport
Protocols (CTP) and other industry
protocols.
C
Major content creators, broadcasters
and service providers in more than
60 countries worldwide are already
using the CatonNet Video Platform
(CVP). The two new devices add to
the functionality and flexibility of the
broadcast-grade media transmission
service.
Caton Prime is an ultra-low latency
HEVC encoder and decoder, capable
of resolutions up to 4k Ultra HD. It
provides broadcast level video quality
and unmatched reliability. Caton Prime
is highly interoperable, supporting
not just CTP, but also other major
industry-standard protocols like SRT
and UDP. Caton Prime is the choice
for the international delivery of high
value content when best connections
are demanded, such as 24-hour
broadcasting. It is also ideal for other
applications like houses of worship,
tele-medicine and enterprise business
services.
Caton Live brings unrivalled
versatility
to
IP
transmission
by
offering both an encoder and decoder
in a single portable device. Designed
for delivery to multiple platforms, it
supports H.264 video at streaming
rates up to 20 Mb/s, from 3G-SDI and
HDMI inputs. The compact, ruggedised
device is ideal for live-streaming
applications such as sports and events,
conferences and education, house of
worship and business.
" Our extensive
experience in connecting
events and content
businesses, across
the country or across
the globe, gives us a
great understanding
of what the market
really needs, " said Gerald
Wong, Senior Vice President, Global
Operations of Caton Technology.
" Caton Prime was developed to meet
the needs of our customers who expect
to seamlessly deliver Ultra HD video.
We also have many users setting
up ad-hoc connections to the public
internet, who want a portable and
flexible device that delivers excellent
quality and stability over limited
bandwidths, which is why we added
Caton Live. "
Designed to ensure reliable realtime
transport of high-quality video
and data under the strictest service
level agreements, CVP delivers video
locally, regionally and globally in an
optimised manner, with significant
cost savings compared to traditional
network services. The low latency,
high-security service is also designed
for maximum flexibility, ranging
from occasional usage to end-to-end
networks with long-term contracts and
managed SLAs up to 99.999% stream
availability.
