- HITS Quantum: HITS Quantum Over Fiber
HITS Quantum over fiber
Quickly launch new services and reduce costs
The new HITS fiber-based video acquisition and content preparation solution leverages our nationwide network to deliver video services to HITS affiliates over fiber. Connecting to the fiber network enables you to broaden your portfolio of HD today, as well as add valuable advanced services in the future. In addition, HITS Quantum over fiber provides content security through tier 1 conditional access and specialized video processing and delivery.
HITS fiber-based solution offers several advantages over traditional programming distribution, including centralized support and delivery over a reliable fiber backbone. HITS Quantum over fiber provides a single access point for a broad range of linear video services from different programmers, available in multiple encode rates, encode formats, transport streams, and time-shifted feeds. Fiber allows you to launch new programming or services with lower capital costs and without taking your headend technician away from daily business. This simplifies plant operations by reducing equipment, space, power, labor and reengineering costs associated with satellite delivery. Services are delivered ready for plant distribution without the need for additional content grooming or stat muxing. The HITS fiber-based solution can be used either for the primary delivery of video content, or serve as a redundant path for programming in the event of satellite interruptions, thereby reducing downtime and minimizing any impact to customers.
