Many cable operators in Bulgaria started providing IPTV (Internet Protocol Television). By providing the new service operators reached the limit of its telecommunications networks. The most effective option for optimizing network traffic is changing the current video encoding and speed of IPTV video stream reaches the consumer. The change in video encoding and the transmission rate in real time is carried out by hardware – called Transcoder. Most TV channels broadcast in MPEG2 video encoding. The Transcoder enables real-time broadcast TV channels MPEG2 format encoding to be changed with MPEG4. The process of changing the video format is called transcoding, which is performed by transcoder. Transcoder allows additional functions such as changing the video resolution of the TV channel and audio format. Additional option is a channel to be transcoding in several different formats or resolutions that enable proper playback on different types of consumer devices - tablets, smart phones or computers.The professional transcoder price determine an unbearable capital expenditure for each telecommunications operator. Within the project DIGITAL SOLUTIONS will buy 5 pcs. "Transcoder of channels" for real-time transcoding of more than 125 channels in 10 different profiles, each having different speed and resolution. Transcoding of TV channels will be offered as a new service an expanding assortment of the company.
