"Asia has always been
a very important market for us," says Graham Cradock, TANDBERG
Television’s EVP and General Manager, Asia Pacific. "According to
research from In-Stat the Asia-Pacific IP video services market will
grow nearly 80 per cent per year between now and 2010, with Asia
accounting for half of all worldwide IPTV subscribers by the end of
2009. We’ve been working with IPTV operators in the region for over
five years and our market-leading technology is allowing telcos to
deploy IPTV services right across the continent, from Dubai to Osaka
and from Delhi to Shanghai."
Jim Olson, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development,
TANDBERG Television will deliver a keynote speech: Beyond IPTV - Why
Plain Old Television Won’t Cut it for Telcos at 9:10 on 29th
September at IPTV World Forum Asia.
TANDBERG Television will showcase its fully integrated IPTV head-end
product line, which provides the industry’s widest selection of
encoding and video processing technologies for streaming,
transrating, transcoding, ultracompression and high density
encoding. The company comes to IPTV World Forum Asia following its
launch of next-generation high definition (HD) and standard
definition (SD) MPEG-4 AVC encoding solutions at IBC 2006. The move
continues TANDBERG Television’s market-leading momentum in the
MPEG-4 AVC arena and brings a step change in digital video
distribution by combining the broadest choice of density and
enhanced features with the industry’s leading ’picture quality
versus performance’ through bandwidth improvements of up to 50% over
currently deployed MPEG-4 AVC units.
TANDBERG Television’s next-generation encoding solutions enable
expanded telco TV business models, including the delivery of 2
full-resolution HDTV channels over ADSL2+@2km. The next-generation
compression platform is being launched simultaneously across the
TANDBERG encoding family with the introduction of the new EN8030
MPEG-4 AVC SD and EN8090 MPEG-4 AVC SD/HD ultracompression broadcast
encoders, alongside the introduction of new MPEG-4 AVC HD and SD
ultracompression encoding modules for the Plex range of high
density, multi-channel encoders.
The TANDBERG Television stand will also feature a demonstration of
the Cable and Satellite International Product of the Year award
winner, the RX1290, TANDBERG Television’s latest professional
receiver and the world’s first professional multi-format
MPEG-2/MPEG-4 AVC decoder designed for the high-end contribution
market.
TANDBERG Television’s solutions can be applied to IPTV applications
based on ADSL, VDSL, FTTH or Ethernet delivery to the subscriber.

clients around the world have successfully deployed IP-based video
content services. These include Asian operators such as:

in Hong Kong, PCCW operates the world’s largest IPTV service
called NOW Broadband TV.

AVC video compression for the deployment of IPTV for Shanghai
