Soliton Systems K.K. announced that it will unveil its newest Smart-telecaster Zao at The International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam, September 11-15, 2015 (Booth 2.A42). The company will also feature its complete product line at the IBC as part of its greater commitment to sell into the Europe. The smart-telecaster Zao are optimized for mobile networks and images can be transmitted using 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi and Inmarsat BGAN.

Smart-telecaster Zao truly shines is the inclusion of the H.265/HEVC video compression standard. H.265 enables Smart-telecaster Zao to dramatically reduce power consumption, shrink the chassis footprint and maintain higher on-the-spot usability, thereby raising the bar for transmission. Soliton's proprietary RASCOW™ (Real-time Auto Speed Control based-on Waterway model) transmission control technology dynamically adjusts video compression ratios and frame rates to ensure smooth, low-latency video/audio transmission, even in the most challenging locations where cellular bandwidth is limited.

Combining this technology with built-in encryption and connection authentication features makes Smart-telecaster Zao an attractive alternative to expensive satellite transmission for broadcasters and first responders.
