FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LATIN AMERICAN OPERATORS DEPLOY
RGB’S SIMULCAST EDGE PROCESSOR FOR DIGITAL SIMULCAST
RGB Expands Footprint into Mexico, Chile and Trinidad
SAN MATEO, CA – October 3, 2006 – RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, today announced that three Latin American operators--Columbus Communications Trinidad Ltd. in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad; Megacable in Guadalajara, Mexico; and VTR in Santiago, Chile have all deployed RGB’s Simulcast Edge Processor (SEP) in digital simulcast cable architectures within their networks. With these deployments, RGB continues to successfully expand into international markets, building on success with cable operators in the United States and Canada.
As the leading video service providers in their respective markets, Megacable, Columbus Communications Trinidad and VTR have each chosen RGB’s unique Simulcast Edge Processor to allow them to serve both digital and analog customers with high-quality video services, while realizing significant operational efficiencies in their digital simulcast deployments. RGB’s SEP simplifies their transition to all-digital, streamlining decoding, modulation and the up-conversion process at the edge of the network.
“Within less than one year of shipping our first Simulcast Edge Processor, RGB has made significant in-roads with top cable operators throughout North America and Latin America,” said Jef Graham, CEO of RGB Networks. “This strong support for RGB’s SEP demonstrates the value that video service providers recognize in RGB’s Video Intelligence Architecture™ - the flexible technology underlying all RGB products, which provides high density, simplified solutions for advanced video deployments.”
About the Simulcast Edge Processor
The RGB Simulcast Edge Processor is the cable industry’s first complete solution for digital simulcast edge decoding applications, providing the capability to simultaneously receive multiple MPEG-2 digital video streams over Internet Protocol (IP), decode the video streams, modulate and up-convert them, and deliver the streams directly to subscribers as NTSC analog video at the edge of the network. The SEP is unique in that it combines all of the necessary processing required to accept digital video streams and deliver them directly as modulated analog NTSC video for distribution to customers’ homes in a single one-rack unit platform. With the SEP, cable operators can deliver a full digital lineup to digital subscribers, simplify operations, save bandwidth and pave the way to a fully digital network, while still supporting existing analog customers.
