The ICE™ Video Platform, featuring ICE-Q® and Video Layer QoS
Technologies, enables Industry's Highest Video Quality
Imagine's Ron Gutman to Present on Video Layer QoS, Monday, May 19
San Diego, CA -- Imagine Communications, the leading innovator in
advanced digital video processing and multiplexing solutions, today
announced plans to demonstrate its powerful ICE™ Video Platform
across all cable digital video applications at The Cable Show '08,
May 18-20 in New Orleans. In addition, Imagine's co-founder and CTO
Ron Gutman will present his paper entitled "Video Layer Quality of
Service (QoS): Unprecedented Control and the Best Video Quality at
Any Given Bit Rate," during the session called "Bit Parts: New
Approaches for Managing Video Encoding" on Monday, May 19,
10:45a.m.-12:00p.m. in room #211. |

"We're excited to
demonstrate how cable operators can deliver the highest video
quality while still adding bandwidth-intensive content, such as HDTV
and VOD, to their systems," stated Marc Tayer, Imagine's SVP of
marketing and business development.
In booth #529 at The Cable Show, attendees will see how Imagine's
ICE Video Platform, which leverages breakthrough video processing
and multiplexing technology, can help cable operators deliver the
highest video quality while cost-effectively increasing bandwidth
efficiency across all digital platforms. Imagine's core technologies
of Interchangeable Compressed Elements (ICE™) and video quality
measurement (ICE-Q®) address the video quality needs of cable
operators. ICE-Q is the industry's first accurate objective video
quality measurement subsystem. It consists of algorithms built into
Imagine's video processing solutions. By accurately emulating the
human visual perceptual system, ICE-Q ensures the highest video
quality at any given bit rate.
The following solutions will be demonstrated:
- The ICE Broadcast
System, Imagine's initial product, offers the highest video
quality and most efficient multiplexing of HDTV and SDTV
broadcast channels, allowing cable operators to add dozens more
linear HDTV signals at excellent video quality.
- The ICE VOD System
allows operators to deliver up to 50 percent more VOD streams
per 256 QAM channel, with enhanced video quality-providing the
ideal platform for next-generation, consumer-controlled
PersonalizedTV services.
- The ICE SDV System
further enhances the inherent bandwidth efficiency of switched
digital video, while dramatically improving the video quality of
existing SDV networks.
- Video Layer
Quality of Service (Video Layer QoS) offers an unprecedented
level of control by allowing content providers and cable
operators to pre-calibrate and establish video quality levels,
at the video layer, which can be sustained from content
origination all the way to the set-top box.
