RGB Networks’ Modular Video Processor Wins Prestigious NXTcomm Eos Award
for Excellence in Technology Innovation
MVP Crowned Winner of Content Delivery and Management Category by Industry Experts
SUNNYVALE, CA – June 3, 2008 – RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, today announced that its Modular Video Processor (MVP) has won a coveted NXTcomm Eos Award in recognition of its advanced IPTV capabilities, which enable telecommunications carriers to deliver high-quality, IP-based video services. The MVP beat out multiple contenders and was selected as winner of the ‘Content Delivery and Management’ category by a panel of 15 consultants, technical journalists and service providers from the communications industry.
The MVP is a complete IPTV solution, combining RGB’s proven video processing capabilities with a highly-reliable chassis to enable telecom carriers to offer a full range of digital video services, including HDTV. The MVP has been designed specifically for telecom carriers, combining support for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264 advanced processing, switching and ad insertion in a highly reliable chassis.
“Winning a NXTcomm Eos Award confirms that the industry recognizes the value that the MVP brings to telco IPTV deployments,” said Ramin Farassat, vice president, product marketing for RGB Networks. “ We consulted closely with several large telecom carriers in developing the MVP to ensure it meets their critical requirements, and this award is a testament that we’ve designed the MVP with everything telcos need to deliver advanced IPTV services.”
The MVP utilizes all of RGB’s proven video processing capabilities, enabling telecom carriers to: aggregate content, groom channel line-ups from multiple sources, transrate programs to enable the delivery of more programming without impacting picture quality and deliver advanced advertising solutions. By combining all these capabilities within a single, carrier-grade chassis, the MVP dramatically reduces the start-up costs for telecom carriers to begin delivering video services.
The MVP is also ideal for telcos with existing MPEG-2 infrastructures. Its transrating and grooming capabilities enable MPEG-2 telcos to deliver more programming with their existing bandwidth, while also providing a much easier, less complex and more economical path for migrating to MPEG-4.
RGB will demonstrate the MVP in its booth (#SL2224C) at the upcoming NXTcomm tradeshow, June 16-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Started in 2007, the NXTcomm Eos Awards honor exhibiting companies that have developed the most promising new technologies or provided the best new network services, strategic support and ongoing achievement. RGB Networks will be recognized at the NXTcomm Exception Reception during this year’s NXTcomm 2008 on June 17.
