Content Repurposing

Over the past few years, networks have been evolving from simple one-way pipelines of analog TV signals into sophisticated two-way delivery systems of IP-based video, data, voice, and convergent services. With this evolution comes the ability to deliver a more personalized viewing experience for subscribers. As a next step in the network evolution, operators can now foster the ‘any video, any device’ world by merging their separate video and broadband silos into a single fully managed, monetized network capable of feeding many different home and mobile devices simultaneously. As a result, they can stay one step ahead of over-the-top video providers, or use alternative networks to deliver content to a wider audience.

Until now, simple, single-channel, ‘pizza box’ transcoders and encoders have done the processing job required by the growing, but still limited number of streams being delivered to TVs and other video devices. However, as the number of input and output devices grows and the permutations of formats, resolutions and aspect ratios increase rapidly, a more sophisticated solution is required that will allow service providers to simultaneously process a huge number of video streams to meet the growing demand.

RGB has developed its unique content repurposing technology expressly to address the complex requirements brought on by a world where people want to watch video anywhere and everywhere.

RGB’s chassis-based approach sets its content repurposing solution apart from legacy transcoding technology. Advantages of this approach include:

• Integrated, multi-application support
• Ultra-dense, multi-processing platform
• Real-time processing
• Multi-in, multi-out processing
• Integrated redundancy
• Multi-processor utilization

The carrier-class Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG) is at the heart of RGB’s content repurposing solution.
