The Use of OE MPEG Profile for Production, Contribution and Distribution Networking
Louis Cheveau, Anthony Caruso · 1999
The EBU permanent services first had the opportunity to assess MPEG-2 / 4:2:2 equipment in 1997, when dual standard Professional Profile/Main Profile encoders and IRDs were installed at the Eurovision Control Centre, Geneva, and tested for possible use on the Eurovision Network. Two bit-rates 24 Mbit/s and 8.448 Mbit/s were selected for operational reasons.
