Does anyone know if the NP-1 could be (or is) used somewhere in the flow chart (below) in the 4k satellite transmission demo at NAB (see below)?

Is the NTEK-PR'd Ericsson demo of the NP-1 a different demonstration?

4K UHDTV, end-to-end video transmission will be demonstrated at Intelsat’s booth at 2014 NAB Show.

LAS VEGAS – In order to demonstrate the commercial readiness of 4K ultra HDTV (UHDTV), Intelsat, BT Group, Ericsson, Newtec and Sony will collaborate to showcase a live 4K UHDTV, end-to-end video transmission over satellite to Las Vegas at the 2014 NAB show.

The team will conduct a live transmission of sports programming that was produced using Sony’s 4K cameras, production switcher and recorder, and four 3G-SDI feeds will be encoded in real time using Ericsson’s encoders. The 4K signal is transmitted from London over the BT Global Media Network to Intelsat, which will then carry the signal to the Intelsat and Ericsson booths in Las Vegas, using Newtec modulation equipment.



The result is a 4:2:2, 10-bit, 4K UHDTV signal at 60fps as well as a down-converted HD feed.

Giles Wilson, head of TV compression at Ericsson, said: “Showcases such as these are a testament to the importance of compression technologies in delivering ‘true’ 4K UHDTV services to the home. As the living room moves towards a fully cinematic experience, ‘true’ 4K UHDTV video will enable a new premium tier of programming which will permanently change the way we watch content.”

The next 4K UHDTV production will be FIFA World Cup happening from June 12 to July 13.

From the NTEK PR:

http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20140404-910274.html One of the UHDTV demonstrations at Ericsson will be the managed services showcase of acquisition, encoding and seamless delivery of 4K OTT streaming content to consumers. This is a services proposition for broadcasters. This demonstration will include using NanoTech's award-winning Nuvola NP-1(TM) 4K Ultra HD streaming media player. The Nuvola NP-1 can also be seen in action at the Akamai, Elemental Technologies and Ittiam booths this year at NAB, clearly showcasing that the infrastructure and end-point devices are now ready to deliver a massive amount of 4K content to consumers' homes.

Without giving too much away too soon, I will be opening up the debate on our broad media vision, which is underpinned by our unique outlook and deep insight into consumer trends, coupled with our TV and mobile IP network leadership. I will be one of four panelists at this session, which will be moderated by Colin Dixon, the Founder and Chief Analyst of nScreenMedia. I have been interviewed by Colin over several years and as a frequent speaker and moderator at many of our industry’s leading events, he brings a wealth of knowledge and critical insight into this debate, particularly with regards to the future of Digital TV, Over-the-Top and IPTV. He is an ideal personality to lead this thought-leading discussion on the road to 2020 and the potential roadblocks to success.
