Cygnus Contribution will allow Oi to add several new features to its services, including premium video quality up to 4K, enabled by MediaKind’s latest HEVC/H264 codec implementations. The solution offers several different operating modes to allow the operator to choose the latency, bandwidth, and image quality compensation that best suits their needs.

The transmission cost, whether the cost of leasing satellite transponder capacity or the cost of IP bandwidth, is generally the most significant operating expense, so minimizing the required transmission bandwidth is critical to cost efficiency. Operators also desire to minimize any latency introduced by a distribution network, and this is particularly true for live sports content and such as the international sporting events.
