ViBE CP6000 ®
Co n t r i b u ti o n P l at fo r m
The ViBE® CP6000 contribution platform enables users to transport up to eight acquisition-quality
SD or HD services. The latest MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:2 10-bit video compression technology provides
optimal video quality.
The ViBE CP6000 is a third-generation contribution platform from Harmonic based on the widely deployed ViBE modular video processing
solution. The ViBE CP6000 features superior video compression and is designed for maximum operational performance. Possessing encode
and decode capabilities, the platform is suitable for a variety of applications, including:
• Contribution (backhaul) circuits from occasional venues, such as sports arenas
• Links between regional studios and a central playout facility
• Links from playout centers to regions and affiliates
• Primary distribution to broadcast or over-the-top headends
The ViBE CP6000 contribution platform is built on a modular, future-proof 1-RU chassis, and offers four hot-swappable slots for MPEG
processing boards or a DTH modulator. Its compact design addresses contribution and primary distribution applications in which space and
power consumption are critical factors. By delivering pristine video quality, the ViBE CP6000 also improves the end-user viewing experience.
Density
With four slots and dual channels per MPEG processing board, the ViBE CP6000 offers up to eight SD or HD channels per unit — a key
advantage for contribution applications where space is paramount. The unit’s high density offers significant reduction on per-channel costs
and power consumption.
Scalability & Agility
The MPEG board used in the ViBE CP6000 supports a range of formats. Fully upgradable via software license, the ViBE CP6000 platform
enables easy and cost-effective migration from legacy MPEG-2 SD to the latest MPEG-4 AVC HD 4:2:2 10-bit video formats. Each of the
four slots on the MPEG board can host a hot-swappable card that can function as an encoder or decoder, depending on the selected software
license. This unique feature allows re-utilization of a unit in multiple encoding and decoding schemas. It also minimizes investment and
simplifies operation and management.
DTH Efficiency
To address satellite contribution applications, a hot-swappable DVB-DSNG/S/S2/S2X modulator board is available. All constellation modes
are supported, and an extended symbol-rate range and low roll-off factor optimize transmission efficiency.
Future-Proof Platform
The modular architecture of the ViBE CP6000 and high-throughput connections between slots enables the platform to support next-
generation technologies such as 1080p50/59.94, AVC-Intra, 3D and Ultra HD.
The ViBE CP6000 offers a unique combination of key features that allow the efficient handling of any contribution application. High
density and video quality, combined with low latency, permit mobile contribution without compromise. Superior video quality for premium
contribution applications is fully supported in MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:2 10-bit mode, while automatic redundancy and automatic configuration
perfectly address headend feed applications.
