The ENC-300 is a hardware encoder blade built for 24/7 streaming and real time encoding. The H264 HD encoder series supports input of DVI signals up to 1920×1200, HDMI or HD-SDI. Additionally the ENC-300 supports RGB, analogue Components and Composite, for those applications where many different signals are found and the encoder inputs need to be switched.

The ENC-300 uses only 9W power to encode video and audio signals. Making it ideal not only for fixed installations but also for mobile 4G sports, broadcast contribution and news gathering, since the HD encoder can be powered by a battery.

Turnfront is organising a conference on using the web for activism on 7th August in London.

It will have a mixture of presentations from activists and technologists, along with time for more open conversations between the participants. The talks will cover activist video, open source social media, hi-tech direct action and online democracy (to name a few).

You can register at: http://turnfront.com/dotactivist

The aim is to go beyond the well-rehearsed conversations about how online campaigning ‘must be done’ and explore exciting new possibilities involving emergent technologies and creative ideas. We’ll also hear about experiences from activists who have deployed some of these ideas in the field and learn from what works and what doesn’t.

Along with the presentations, there will be plenty of time for networking and open conversations so that everyone can share their ideas and experience. The event has been designed to inspire and provoke discussion in equal measure.

Sky Sports 1 and 2 will be available on BT Vision this weekend and, with the price starting at £6.99 a month for one channel, this might give the service the boost it badly needs.

Hybrid Freeview/IPTV service, BT Vision, gained only 14,000 new customers in the second quarter, its worst performance for two years.

The BT Group as a whole managed to boost profits 17% to £446m, although this follows severe cost cuts with 35,000 jobs lost in the last two years.

BT also managed to add 96,000 more broadband customers, which it must now be hoping to win over to its IPTV service.

An advertising campaign for BT Vision is underway, but the service will have to compete with BSkyB and Top Up TV, which are also offering Sky Sports.

Ireland is to step firmly in the digital era with plans announced to roll-out digital terrestrial television (DTT) by 31 December 2012, when the analogue signal will be switched off.

Minister for Communications Eamon Ryan today revealed a €70 million investment to bring DTT to everyone in Ireland.

A new terrestrial network will serve 98% of the population and a satellite service will ensure that the remaining two per cent don’t miss out either.

The plans mean that everyone in Ireland will be able to watch between seven and nine TV channels including RTÉ, TV3 and TG4, national radio channels, on screen programme information and a new digital teletext service.

Of course, DTT will only be available to viewers with the right equipment, which means that some will have to buy a new set-top box.

The spectrum that is freed up by the switchover will be available for broadband and mobile services.
