Aiming to fill the gaps in its quest for an end-to-end workflow, video-encoding specialist VITEC has acquired Telairity, a provider of real-time H.264/AVC (MPEG-4) video compression workflow solutions.

Telairity's technologies see use in broadcasting, backhaul, IPTV and mobile among other vertical industries. The company’s video processing technology, based on the TVP840 multi-core video processor and associated video compression software, is claimed to deliver industry-leading price/performance.

The strategic acquisition of Telairity further strengthens VITEC's position in the broadcast market," said Mark D'Addio, VITEC senior vice president, sales and marketing. "VITEC's HEVC technology and streaming expertise address a growing need for broadcasters to reduce bandwidth requirements while maximising video quality."

Telairity CEO Matt McKee has joined VITEC as director of broadcast sales. He added, "Telairity customers have been asking for a compelling reason to upgrade their broadcast links. VITEC HEVC solutions offer the highest levels of network efficiency, video quality and reliability especially for digital satellite news gathering (DSNG) and contribution applications."
