Next-Generation Helix Mobile Producer

The next-generation Helix Mobile Producer architecture combines industry-leading mobile video quality with the interoperability, performance and reliability mobile operators worldwide have come to expect from Helix Technology. Next generation encoding advancements include multi-channel video input, monitoring and support for exciting features such as Live Rate Adaptation. The next-generation Helix Mobile Producer teams up with the Helix Mobile Server and Helix client technologies to form the definitive end-to-end solution for future-proof mobile video.

• High Quality Encoding
  Highly optimized H.263 and H.264 video compression for both live and on-demand content for delivering the best video quality to mobile devices.

• Multi-Channel Input / Multiple Profile Output Capacity
  High density four channel input supporting up to 12 output profiles maximizes encoding capacity, throughput, and supported devices.

• Live Rate Adaptation and Multi-Rate File Creation
  Create multi-rate streams to improve overall end-user QoS by delivering the highest bit-rate possible supported by the wireless network at any given time for both live and on-demand content.

• Full Automation and Productivity Toolset
  Fully automate the encoding process with the command-line interface and maximize productivity with XML job file templates – tailored recipes for mobile devices.

• Quality Monitoring
  Audio and video watchdogs reports for no, noisy or frozen video channel and for silent, imbalanced, clipping or out of phase audio channel.  A graphical audio/video preview, encoding and broadcast statistics and session logging highlight bitrate, frame rate, latency, packets and quality.

• Settings Advisor
  This GUI settings advisor provides automatic alerts of errors, warnings and informational conditions to help optimize encoding recipes.  Standards-based guard railing ensures compatible stream delivery.

• Import job files from previous versions of Helix Mobile Producer or RealProducer

• Standards-based 3GPP Rel 5 and Rel 6 and RTP compliance

• SNMP monitoring

• Carrier-grade encoding platform – redundancy and forward error correction

• Broadcast content to multiple servers for ultimate scalability and redundancy

• Productivity: Job files, batch encoding and command-line

• Encode in Variable Bit Rate and Constant Bit Rate for highest video quality

• Pre-filtering options include: cropping, frame rate conversion, inverse-telecine, de-interlacing, noise filtering, brightness, contrast, and gamma adjustments

• GUI that displays both the source multimedia content and the encoded content side by side for comparison

• Metadata attributes, such as title, author, copyright

• Standard, On-Demand and Professional versions available

• Future proof IPv6 support

Before installing Helix Mobile Producer On-Demand, please make sure your computer meets the systems requirements outlined below.

*Note: MPEG-2 requires a separate DirectShow MPEG-2 reader, not included.

Live Rate Adaptation (LRA)

Improves overall end-user QoS by automatically delivering the highest bit-rate stream supported by the network at any given time.  Seamlessly manages network fluctuations, such as signal strength, bearer handover and network congestion.

Quality Monitoring

Audio and video watchdogs reports for no, noisy or frozen video channel and for silent, imbalanced, clipping or out of phase audio channel.
