Korean pool selected NTT Electronics' New 4K HEVC Encoder/Decoder HC11000 for 2018 FIFA Russia WorldCupKorean pool selected NTT Electronics' New 4K HEVC Encoder/Decoder HC11000 for 2018 FIFA Russia WorldCup

 NTT Electronics, a market leader in the fields of digital video, and LGU+, one of the largest carrier company in South Korea, today announced that NTT Electronics’ H.265/HEVC Video Encoder “HC11000E” and H.265/HEVC Decoder “HC11000D” are being used by LGU+ for the transmission to South Korean POOL of FIFA World Cup Football Games in Russia, which is being held from June 1st to July 15th in 2018. “The reason why selected NTT Codecs is because of its high quality picture and low latency even during fast movement of soccer games” and IP seamless protection to safe operation and reduce error correction latency.. “We are pleased that Korean pool selected NTT Electronics HC11000E and HC11000D for the 2018 FIFA Worldcup. Using HEVC instead of H.264 gives an option to reduce the bit rate and improve the quality. Not only is the compression important, but the latency is extremely important as well. Currently NTT Electronics supports 33ms end to end latency for HD and 100ms end to end latency for 4K and support new technology which called seamless IP protection help error correction processing more fast.” said Hisashi Ibaraki, Executive Vice President of Digital Video Component Business Group of NTT Electronics. 

As for LaON, the real game begins nowAs for LaON, the real game begins now

LaON Technology is a Korea based intercom manufacturer that has core technologies about wireless audio transmission. Unlike other intercom players who have long histories in the pro-audio industry, LaON’s starting point was from a unique wireless technology it has. LaON has its own wireless SoC and RF module which had been developed in LaON’s R&D house. And as we figured out that there are needs for the different and better wireless intercom solutions for a long time, we have designed and released wireless intercom systems based on our technologies on the market as our first bawling pin product.         LaON’s digital wireless intercom systems operate in license-free and channel-rich 5GHz UNII band which was a totally different approach from the existing technologies applied on traditional intercom systems. As the wireless environments are significantly changing and getting even congested, the requirements for stable and seamless wireless intercom performance in various site environments is highly increasing by professional intercom users. Thus, what frequency the system operates in is one of the very basic key features that show the technology base of the system and capabilities for improvement and innovation. On 5GHz UNII band, there are approximately up to 29 frequency channels available to use depending on regions and there are relatively lesser wireless devices being used on the same frequency than other frequencies such as 2.4GHz. Hence, unless almost the frequency channels are occupied, users will be able to enjoy pleasant wireless communications experiences. In the meantime, there could be a question on 5GHz for its wireless distance. LaON 5GHz intercoms offer approximately 100meters line-of-sight in average with the Base Station’s antenna only and by connecting Remote Base Station(RBS), an IP based repeater, the coverage can be extended widely and stably without any data loss with the easy-to-wire LAN cables. LaON’s patent-based repeater system, RBS can be connected up to ten(10) as for a standard feature and the number of connection can also be increased as per project requirements for customization or alternative solutions which enables users to integrate multiple studios or floors efficiently without a big system configuration. The system delay is less than 23msec, the industry lowest level and 7.2KHz audio bandwidth demonstrates the wired-like audio clarity. Although LaON was a challenging newcomer and the market atmosphere is quite conservative for any new product, LaON has now been well entered into the intercom market and the advantages were proven in various applications such as broadcast, event production, performance, theatre, government, enterprise, university, house of worship, industrial and etc. It is not from our long experiences in this market but the unique technology bases that hit the needs on time. By entering into the market while there are many dependencies due to changes on frequency policies and regulations, congested wireless environment and, increased volume and complex requirements on wireless intercom, LaON has leant a lot at actual sites for what to do and where to go.        Based on LaON’s wireless audio transmission and IP technologies, we are currently working on exiting new products and solutions in our own approaches which have never been introduced in the marketplace before and no more huge systems will be necessary in many scenes. We target ‘Slim’ system that enables to perform ‘More’ not just for the wireless communications in one system, and the reliable system that works even though the systems are not feasibly installed or deployed due to the site environment or limitation. Also, with the new products and solutions which will be released within this year by being applied LaON’s new ideas and technologies, the number of full-duplex channels available will dramatically be increased and the system stability will be enhanced against various interference factors where many of the broadcaster, event production and theatre clients will be happy with for their big project operations. We will introduce the concepts of couple of new products and its samples to our distributors and partners during KOBA 2018 and display the prototypes.      Moving forward, LaON will always showcase the unique and interesting products as an ‘INTERCOMmunication and its SOLUTION maker’.   info@laon-tech-com www.laon-tech.com
