Scopus'
UID-2902 1RU device features concurrent two-channel
MPEG decoding
ISRAEL
-- Scopus Network Technologies, a leading supplier of
digital TV networking, recently launched its dense IP
decoder UID-2900 product family with the introduction
of the UID-2902 Universal IP Decoder recently. The UID-2902,
a cost-effective platform that enables migration from
analog to all-digital distribution networks, is being
evaluated by leading US-based cable operators (MSOs).
The
new UID-2902 1RU device features concurrent two-channel
MPEG decoding; dual MPEG over IP inputs supporting IGMPv2
(IGMPv3 ready); simultaneous two video stream and four
audio stream support; and both link and logical redundancy.
Management and control of the UID-2902 is achieved via
an easy-to-use graphical front panel, a simple network
management protocol (SNMP) or Web-based management.
The
Scopus UID-2900 series of multi-channel IP decoders
are housed in a true 1RU chassis and are integral elements
of a comprehensive all-digital solution designed to
further evolution of digital simulating. Scopus' professional
IP decoders enable cable operators to optimise essential
network bandwidth while simultaneously supplying analog
distribution of the HFC network. Operators also leverage
Scopus' position as the only manufacturer providing
all major all-digital migration components to create
an entire chain which includes constant bit rate (CBR)
and variable bit rate (VBR) encoders, open-loop and
closed-loop statistical multiplexers, grooming/muliplexing/rate-shaping
gateways and network management systems.
Mario
Rainville, vice president, marketing, Scopus, said:
"Now commercially available, the UID-2902 enables
operators to distribute their programming once - digitally
- over the network while ensuring that their analog
services remain undisturbed. The UID-2902 universal
IP decoder, the first member of Scopus' multi-channel
decoder family enables a smooth migration to all digital
cable and maintain our position as a leading provider
of professional decoder platforms."
