DELIVERY — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. has announced CBS News is using the Fujitsu IP-9500e MPEG-4 AVC encoder as part of the HD rollout of the Evening News with Katie Couric. CBS News is using the IP-9500e at its Washington, D.C. bureau to deliver multiple HD feeds to its new HD Control Room 47 at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York. The combination of the Fujitsu IP-9500e and Sencore MRD3187A Decoder creates the lowest latency of any available MPEG-4 AVC codec. The 300-millisecond encoder/decoder latency enables CBS News to conduct live interviews with exceptional HD picture quality, while using less than half the network bandwidth required for traditional MPEG-2 transmissions. CBS News also plans to use Fujitsu encoders for coverage of the Republican and Democratic Presidential Nominating Conventions as well as for the Presidential Inauguration. In addition, the network plans to implement the Fujitsu HD encoder at its London studio later this summer to facilitate HD feeds from that location.
