FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RGB NETWORKS AND MOTOROLA TEAM UP TO ACCELERATE TRANSITION
TO ALL-DIGITAL NETWORKS
Motorola's
Sales, Marketing, and Support Combine with RGB's Video Processing
Expertise to Offer Advanced Edge Processing Solutions
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -April 4, 2005 - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) and
RGB Networks today announced an agreement through which Motorola will
market and support RGB's video processing solutions for the all-digital
transition to broadband video providers. Under the terms of the agreement,
Motorola will also provide system integration support for RGB's digital
migration products.
Motorola and RGB will offer cable and telco operators networked video
processing solutions based on RGB's Video Intelligence ArchitectureT (VIAT),
enabling them to create efficient digital video networks that effectively
manage, scale, and deliver advanced services. Leveraging standards-based,
high-speed Gigabit Ethernet technology, RGB's VIA solutions enhance
and support key video applications including digital simulcast, Video
On Demand and broadcast video delivery.
"As a leading provider of digital video delivery systems, Motorola
provides the sales, support and integration expertise to help bring
RGB's advanced network video processing products to the market," said
Adam S. Tom, president and CEO of RGB Networks. "With Motorola's experience,
resources, and relationships, operators will be able to deploy our
flexible and scalable video solutions in their networks much more
rapidly, with smooth system integration and first-rate support."
The first product to be offered through this agreement is the Simulcast
Edge Processor (SEP), which provides the ability to derive an entire
line-up of analog programming from a Gigabit Ethernet-delivered digital
MPEG-2 multiplex. The SEP facilitates deeper penetration of digital
content distribution by allowing analog signals to be generated at
the edge of the network closer to the end-user, simplifying the network
architecture and reducing operational costs for the operators.
"The combination of Motorola's leadership in digital video and RGB's
video processing technology is a win for the industry," said Doug
Means, corporate vice president and general manager, Digital Media
Solutions, Motorola Connected Home Business. "Together, we can help
operators accelerate the move to all-digital and offer advanced on
demand services, while also enabling network providers to implement
bandwidth-saving solutions quickly and confidently with a seamless
transition."
