In addition to supporting convergence in the IPTV and broadcast markets, the 4Caster B3 offers a highly advanced feature set. Rate control choices such as capped VBR, ABR and CBR can be matched with the type of service and available bandwidth to create the most efficient compression schemes. Optimized resolution is achieved by using a group of automatic settings that determine the highest quality based on the available bit rate. This increased bandwidth efficiency combined with high quality video at lower bit rates, allows broadcasters and service providers to expand service offerings while optimizing throughput over their distribution networks.

As IP-based video becomes the definitive killer application, Envivio draws on its MPEG-4 expertise to offer the Broadcast Series of encoders that enable IP video convergence for content providers, broadcasters and telcos. With the 4Caster B3, the flagship product in the Broadcast Series, Envivio empowers a converged IP world by enabling a telco to offer the highest quality IP-based video while offering a broadcaster the unparalleled feature set required for MPEG-4 based contribution and distribution applications.
