The company’s stand
will feature a number of systems and demonstrations including:
Industry’s most complete video processing system for IPTV
head-ends:
IPTV World Form is the global launch pad for TANDBERG’s latest
telco solution, the iPlex UltraCompression HD and SD IPTV head-end
product. This new product is based on TANDBERG Television’s world
first, second-generation AVC platform and provides a step change in
digital video distribution by combining the broadest choice of
density and enhanced features with the industry’s leading picture
quality performance. The iPlex Ultracompression HD and SD IPTV
head-end delivers bandwidth improvements of up to 50% over
previously deployed MPEG-4 AVC units. The iPlex is a flexible video
processing platform, rather than just being an encoder chassis, and
offers the industry’s most complete IPTV head-end video processing
solution that includes MPEG-2 SD encoding, MPEG-4 AVC HD and SD
encoding, MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 transcoding, MPEG-2 transrating, and
picture-in-picture (PIP) service generation in a high density,
NEBS-certified, telco-designed chassis. TANDBERG Television is the
recognized leader in video compression and the only player to offer
complete solutions for HD and SD MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 and has
over 4,000 MPEG-4 AVC HD and SD encoders commercially deployed.
Award-winning content delivery technology for multi-platform
distribution:
TANDBERG Television will demonstrate its zBand™ solution which
enables service providers to provide high quality content delivery
services for movies, games, music and more. The PUSH On-Demand (VOD)
content distribution and delivery platform can simultaneously push
content to various consumer devices and empower service providers to
customize their own content delivery business models. Through the
advancement of the TANDBERG zBand content delivery technology,
providers can pre-position or “PUSH” movies and other file based
content or stream content over IP directly to every screen in the
home, including MCE PCs, mobile devices and set-top-boxes that
include a hard drive such as the Amino 500 PVR series. By PUSHing or
“trickling” newly released movie titles or other content to
connected consumer devices for later subscriber playback, service
providers reduce bandwidth utilization and gain revenue by offering
new video distribution services on their existing networks. zBand
provides an alternative solution to network server-based
video-on-demand (VOD) and gives customers an added incentive to
upgrade services with instant access to the latest HD and
DVD-quality video releases.
Complete solutions for TV 2.0
Visitors will also be able to see TANDBERG’s open software
solutions for next generation digital video services. These advanced
software tools pull on over 15 years of digital TV experience to
address a growing need to support different distribution paths, end
points and content formats. They extend TANDBERG Television’s
ability to enable linear and on-demand, interactive content to be
supplied across ‘any platform to any device’.
TANDBERG Television’s broadband TV system, based on its zTools
software, will be on show. These publishing and management
applications remove road blocks inherent in monetizing and
syndicating video over the Internet and simplify the process of
creating multi-platform portals, so content providers can reach the
maximum number of viewers. With award-winning products such as
MediaModeler™, TANDBERG Television is able to automate the
formatting, management, programming and publishing of interactive
and on-demand Internet video with a focus on ease-of-use.
Moreover, TANDBERG Television’s new WatchPoint Workflow System
provides a scalable, automated solution that streamlines the
creation, management and distribution of media assets based on an
extensible, open architecture. WatchPoint’s fully customizable, open
architecture offers an unlimited array of installation options,
adapting to and streamlining customers’ current processes while
leveraging their existing hardware and software investments. With
support for both linear and on-demand media, as well as interactive
content and applications, WatchPoint Workflow System enables content
providers and platform operators to provide a compelling offering
for today’s on-the-go, media-savvy consumers. WatchPoint also drives
new revenue opportunities through the delivery of dynamic, targeted,
and interactive advertisements.
