Top Private Company Award Winner

Digital video innovator recognized for leadership in emerging technology for digital entertainment and media

SAN MATEO, CA – May 3, 2007– RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnHollywood 100 Top Private Companies.  The OnHollywood 100 is a power list of the top private emerging technology companies in digital entertainment and media.  RGB Networks was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on a set of five criteria--innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

RGB Networks and the OnHollywood 100 are being honored at the OnHollywood digital entertainment and media event, May 1-3, 2007, at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California.  OnHollywood delves into the challenges, opportunities and business models of the digital era, and showcases the most innovative private companies that are changing the way entertainment and media is created, distributed, consumed and monetized.

OnHollywood is an important forum that presents and debates the critical issues surrounding the transformation of the entertainment economy to one based on digital technology,” said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn.  “Digital technology has transformed the way content is created and delivered to consumers everywhere.  The OnHollywood Top 100 companies are an elite group of innovators who are using this technology to revolutionize the industry.” 

The OnHollywood 100 was selected from more than 1,000 companies, peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts.

Through a broad portfolio of network video processing solutions, RGB Networks enables cable operators, telecom carriers and other service providers to offer advanced digital video services that are increasingly targeted to individual viewers.  At the heart of RGB’s advanced solutions is the company’s Video Intelligence Architecture™ (VIA), enabling the industry’s highest video stream processing performance, which dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of delivering on-demand, personalized video services.

“The way people are watching television is changing more rapidly than at any time in the history of this 70-year-old industry,” said Jef Graham, CEO of RGB Networks.  “The traditional ‘one-to-many’ broadcast model where television is viewed solely in the living room is being replaced by a unique, targeted and highly-personalized experience enjoyed on demand, on a variety of devices and in a multitude of locations.  Being selected as one of the OnHollywood 100 clearly shows that the industry recognizes this trend and that RGB Networks’ products and technologies are playing a vital role in this exciting transformation.”
