NRK Upgrades With Thomson Video Networks

NRK, the Norwegian government-owned radio and television public broadcasting company and Norway’s largest media organization, has chosen Thomson Video Networks‘ ViBE EM4000 premium video compression solution to power a complete upgrade of its broadcast infrastructure.

Working with Thomson Video Networks’ NetProcessor multiplexer and MediaFlex Suite network management system, the ViBE EM4000 provides a single compression platform with four-channel density for NRK’s satellite, terrestrial, cable and IPTV operations, encompassing 50 MPEG-4 HD channels.

NRK said the decision to select Thomson Video Networks was based upon criteria such as technical quality including video quality testing, total cost of ownership, project management and implementation, and post-sale support and maintenance.
