Tiernan used to be an IBM customer(for 4:2:2 encoding). All of their new products are coming up C-Cube............................ Note that THE1 is a new product due in September.................... nabdaily.com Tiernan Introduces High Performance HDTV Encoders and Decoders Tiernan Communications, Inc. [Booth OD306], has announced that its newest products for HDTV broadcasting will be demonstrated at NAB, with deliveries to customers scheduled to begin in September, 1998. "With these technologically advanced new products, Tiernan has clearly demonstrated its leadership position in high definition television," said Tiernan vice president Keith Dunford. "The new HDTV products meet the exacting needs of broadcasters in program contribution and distribution networks requiring both MPEG-2 and ATSC compliant solutions." The Tiernan THE 1 is a full-featured DTV encoder supporting both HDTV and SDTV services. The "plug and play" multi-slot architecture supports up to 10 modules including the main video and audio compression processors. This evolutionary development from Tiernan's field-proven SDTV encoders supports both digital and analog video and audio inputs in both HDTV and SDTV formats. THE 1 provides a choice of DTV formats including 1080i, 720p, and 480p. HDTV processing supports the ATSC standard or the MPEG-2 Main Profile @ High level with video rates from 10 Mbps to 160 Mbps. Tiernan's THE 1 also provides for up to eight SDTV channels in MPEG-2 4:2:0 Main Profile @ Main Level or MPEG-2 4:2:2 Studio Profile @ Main Level. In either mode, enhanced performance of video compression is provided by adaptive field/frame (AFF) compression and automatic selection of horizontal and vertical resolutions for any....

TE6 IBM(4:2:2).............................. tiernan.com The Video Section: This section manages all aspects of the incoming video signal, including image compression. The heart of the video compression is the IBM MPEG-2 chip-set, which encodes the input video following both the 4:2:2 Studio Profile @ Main Level and 4:2:0 Main Profile @ Main Level according to the MPEG-2 standard (ISO/IEC 13818-2).
