CMC offers a full range of terrestrial and satellite-based transmission capabilities providing global connectivity via several carrier class IP video transport providers and uplink video to satellites serving North and Latin America as well as European and Asian continents. Operating more than 30 antennas, which provide uplink services to any available domestic spacecraft, we transmit more than 500 video and audio services full time to over 20 satellites.

Terrestrial AND Satellite based transmission capabilities. I understand not every local or regional headend is connected to the CMC but if they can over terrestrial connectivity to third parties, I think it would be obvious that they would use it for their own communications as well.

The other wavelength (1490nm) is for delivering interactive services like VOD, Internet and Phone. On the Comcast side they have to stuff all the services into just the 1550nm delivery pipe. Think of it like a meter stick...broadcast TV (ABC, MTV, USA, FOX, HBO), they get delivered at centimeters 1 through 75, VOD is delivered on centimeters 76 through 85, Internet is delivered on centimeters 86 through 95 and Phone is delivered on centimeters 96 through 100 (although with docsis technology they would use the 5 centimeters for phone as internet and then your phone uses the internet transmission space instead of a dedicated space).

FiOS has a clear delivery advantage as it can use the full meter stick (1550nm, centimeters 1 through 100) to deliver just broadcast content and then the other pipe (1490nm) handles the VOD, Internet and Phone service delivery. This type of service delivery allows for transmission of more broadcast content, which in-turn means that you don't have to compress as much.]]>Dec 29th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/Dec 17th 2009 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/Dec 18th 2009 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
Birtrates went from 17 megabits FiOS to under 7 on Comcast. I absolutely can't watch anymore. Live action shots on SciFi (I refuse to call it Sy**) are so compressed that the whole scene tiles over.

Fuck Comcast.]]>Dec 18th 2009 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
At least one pay movie channel, HDnet Movies, seems to encode and feed at a high enough bit rate. I have yet to see significant macro-blocking on HDnet Movies, even on very high motion / complexity scenes.

It would be nice if Verizon used its fiber network to acquire LOW COMPRESSION (high bit rate) feeds directly from the content creators.

(ie. abandon the low fidelity feeds sent over the C-band sats and acquire independent high video fidelity feeds from the movie networks, which are then back-hauled over VZ's terrestrial fiber infrastructure to the various head-ends)

FiOS could send us 30Mbps channels yielding near Blu-ray caliber video fidelity!! (Or at least they could send us as high a bit-rate as the video decode chip in the dumb Moto STB can handle :-) )]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
Seems like way too much work to watch movies that are cropped and with normalized audio.

I mean if you really want movies with great picture quality, you're only option is Blu-ray, or maybe Vudu, both of which look 100x better than HBO HD etc.]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
From the Vudu requirements list on their web site:
HDX (1080p) requires 4.5 Mbps

Even sophisticated codecs, like AVC, would be hard pressed to deliver a pleasing (good image quality) rendition of high-motion programming when constrained to a bit rate that low. There is no free lunch. Delivering high a high bit rate is essential.]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
You can watch the codec meter instead of the movie if you want. What I'm telling you is that the picture quality of VUDU HDX BLOWS AWAY the picture and sound quality of anything I've ever seen on HBO HD or any other cable movie channel. And even if the PQ and AQ wasn't better, it'd still be more enjoyable because the movies aren't cropped and the audio isn't normalized. But then again, VUDU costs too much per movie so it isn't the best comparison anyways.]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/Dec 17th 2009 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
What you are seeing on HBO, Cinemax, etc. could be one of two
things.

Overcompression on the content providers part either to save money on transponder space for distribution or based on "input" from the Cable and Satellite companies.

Overuse of overcompression at the Cable / Satellite company. I know a lot of cable companies are starting to go to 3:1 on the HD QAMs. Not necessarily bad but you can overuse it or use it on the wrong content. What I have seen is that if it non-sports 720p content, you can easily do 3:1. Non-sports 1080i content is a little tougher if you are intelligent on what shows goes onto which QAM. For example, CNN, CNBC, and other talking head channels can be added in with more challenging content like the Discovery networks, movie channels, etc to get a good 3:1 MUX. It's all just good or bad systems engineering.]]>Dec 18th 2009 6:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
He's speaking about FiOS which has been independently confirmed that the original feed is passed to the customer without further compression. There is some evidence that content creators have actually reduced the bit rate of their source feed so that Comcast and others wouldn't have to recompress it that much, that is what he is complaining about. ]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
@Enger 30Mbps feeds? Sure they're not sharing the QAM bandwidth with VOIP so their 860MHz plant has more room than you might think, but at 30Mbps they would only be able to fit one HD channel into each 6MHz band, which would mean they could only have 143 total channels on their network. Even Verizon can't do that.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
It is, of course, unclear how many last-mile providers will adopt such technology. (Nodes must be relatively small, in order to allocate a QAM to each TV; this is certainly no issue for FiOS, but may be difficult for cable-TV operators with older plant.) Variations utilizing high bit rate base band video unicast distribution are also feasible.

The key phrase is high bit rate video. The DBS satellite guys are probably unable to follow-suit; if the terrestrial guys implement this high-bandwidth approach, the DBS guys will be hurting. To remain viable, they really need to convince consumers that HD video quality is unimportant (or at least a secondary issue).]]>Dec 22nd 2009 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
Unicast technology like SDV only helps on channels that aren't watched much.

DBS companies are launching new birds like crazy and don't look like they are going to have any bandwidth problems anytime soon. The big concern for DBS is when VOD becomes preferred to linear TV. This is something they'll have a hard time competing with.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
On the main topic, I find it hard to believe that the DBS guys can distribute genuine bandwidth for real BluRay video for many hundreds (or more) channels. I'll be delighted to be proved wrong. Maybe they'll come up with multiple Gigabit transponders in the far infrared? :-) ]]>Dec 22nd 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/
Vudu has proven you can send Blu-ray comparable quality audio and video at ~4.5Mbps. DirecTV 12 is said to increase the overall throughput of DirecTV by 50% so the new birds are far more efficient then the older ones. The problem is that Vudu can do this with so little throughput because they aren't doing it in real time. But even if DirecTV put 1TB HDDs in their DVR filled with content at 4.5Mbps, they'd still have a hard time competing in the VOD space with two way services.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/Frank Lee you don't have a clue. The satellite feeds (probably 95%) which provide content to FiOS are the same satellite feeds which provide content to most all other US based MSO's. Compression is a result of the way the MSO handles the content delivery, not how the originator handles it for a given MSO...that would be discrimination of service provider and would result in BIG LAWSUITS.]]>Dec 29th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/The assertion is that the content originators (e.g. HBO HD) are tailoring their feed to the constraints of the majority of the distribution operators (TW, Comcast, Cox and so forth). Most distributors are capacity limited and utilize statistical multiplexers to re-compress the incoming feeds, so that they can pack more of them onto a single QAM. The content supplier likely thinks "why provide a feed far in excess of what the distributor will pass through; my guys will do a better job of the compression than the distributor's hack statmux".

Meanwhile, the rare high capacity distributors (e.g. FTTH distributors, like FiOS) who have committed to NOT re-compressing the sources they are given, are stuck: few suppliers give them genuinely high fidelity source feeds. HDnet Movies seems to be a stand-out in the pay-movie lineup. I've never seen their channel macro-block. HDnet Movies acts as an existence proof of what FiOS is capable of. Meanwhile HBO-HD, SHO-HD and the rest fail to bolster FiOS' reputation of video fidelity: they macro-block readily on complex motion scenes.

The idea floated was to encourage Verizon to use its own terrestrial fiber network to obtain higher fidelity (minimally compressed) feeds directly from the content originators (abandon the lowest-common-denominator C-band feed). Any distributor could request a similar feed from a supplier; there wouldn't be any favoritism. However, I doubt most distribution operators have the requisite nationwide fiber backbone to economically accomplish the acquisition.

Thus, Verizon might obtain a sustainable competitive advantage by acquiring high fidelity feeds and making quality a high visibility selling point of their service.

I suppose Verizon could even offer a service to its competition. It could become a terrestrial primary feed distributor (replacement for the C/Ku-band satellites). Verizon has already deployed a 100Gbps per lambda fiber optic system. A single lambda on a single strand could backhaul three thousand Bluray-like (33Mbps) HD feeds. It would take a lot of C/Ku-band transponders to match that. :-)

They're showing QFHD/cinema4k at CES. FTTH and terrestrial fiber backhaul infrastructure can support delivery of that quality to the consumer. I hope Mr. Seidenberg shares a similar optimistic vision for the future.

One thing that came to mind, is the choice of location in FL. I'm familiar with FL locales, but aren't hurricanes a big threat to facility like this?

I realize it's redundant, but still a failover to another facility of this size and complexity can't be totally transparent, not to mention the incredible cost and time to rebuild the whole place. Additionally, would the frequent heavy storms cause bad reception on their dishes pulling down all the content?

I'm sure my thoughts are just uninformed, but I'm curious to hear about that.]]>Dec 18th 2009 2:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/

People ask this all the time, and the answer makes perfect sense. As far as cities in Florida, Tampa has the least number of Hurricanes as any coastal city in the south east US. In fact only one major hurricane has hit the area in the past 100 years. But the real reason things like this are here is because power is relatively cheap compared to other parts of the country. And power is the primary expense in operating a facility like this.]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/Dec 18th 2009 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/an-inside-look-at-a-verizon-fios-super-headend-and-video-hub/As weird as this sounds, Verizon does not have ANY fios in Illinois.
