RGB Networks Offers Privacy Mode Encryption Technology in its Products

VOD encryption support enables cable operators to more easily deploy on-demand services

SUNNYVALE, CA – December 19, 2007 – RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, today announced that it offers Privacy Mode Encryption licensing and technology for video-on-demand (VOD) applications, enabling cable operators to easily encrypt their VOD programs to ensure they can only be viewed by authorized subscribers. Accomplishing this on the scale necessary for major VOD deployments requires the simultaneous bulk encryption of hundreds of VOD programs.

RGB will enable this capability on two of its key products – the Universal Scalable Modulator (USM) and Dynamic Bandwidth Manager (DBM) – and will apply privacy mode encryption to the VOD programs as they are processed. The company’s USM is a high density universal QAM modulator, capable of processing more programs than any competitive offerings. The RGB DBM is a VOD bandwidth optimization platform which reduces VOD bandwidth requirements, enabling cable operators to deliver more standard and high definition VOD programs without the need for increased bandwidth.

“Privacy mode encryption and the industry-leading processing density of the USM and DBM are ideal combinations, giving cable operators what is needed to dramatically expand their deployments of VOD services while continuing to add more HD VOD offerings,” said Jef Graham, CEO of RGB Networks.

“VOD is one of the industry’s most important services and ensuring the secure delivery of VOD streams throughout the network and to the subscriber set-top box is key to accelerating the industry-wide rollout of VOD,” said Pragash Pillai, Vice President of Strategic Engineering at Bresnan Communications.
