SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Terayon
Communication Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TERN), a leading provider of digital
video networking applications and home access solutions, is showcasing
capabilities and products designed to increase cable operators' revenue and
network efficiency at the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE)
Cable-Tec Expo, June 15-17, in booth #1239 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention
Center.
"The evolution to all-digital and the industry's continuing commitment to
add new, advanced broadband services present both challenges and opportunities
to cable system operators," said Jerry Chase, CEO of Terayon. "Our focus has
been on creating products that enhance our customers' competitive positions by
offering a simple and fast road to revenue-generating IP video and data
services."
Terayon's latest products are on display and are powering the following
demonstrations that highlight their unique capabilities and the applications
and services they enable.
Local Ad Insertion
New advertising revenue can be generated and equipment costs consolidated
using the Terayon DM 6400 Network CherryPicker(R) for the accurate and
reliable placement of local, targeted advertisements directly into SD and HD
programming.
Localized Channel Branding and Graphical Advertising
The Terayon BP 5100 and its patent-pending Digital Motion Graphics Overlay
(DMGO) technology allow operators to pursue new and incremental advertising
and branding opportunities. DMGO enables the insertion of localized high-
quality, real-time static and full-motion graphic and video overlays directly
into SD and HD digital programming without decoding and re-encoding the
underlying content. This streamlined approach reduces the amount of costly
equipment required and preserves picture quality as decoding and re-encoding
steps are eliminated.
Analog-Digital Simulcast
Terayon's end-to-end Analog-Digital Simulcast (ADS) solution can eliminate
the expense and complexity of dual analog and digital headend and transmission
systems. ADS is comprised of the DM 6400, which delivers distributed digital
video networking and ad insertion over both ASI and IP networks, and the CP
7600G multichannel integrated decoder for high-quality decoding of incoming
digital video carried over ASI or IP transport at the edge into analog signals
for modulation and transmission to analog subscribers.
IP Video Networking/IPTV
Deployment of standards-based MPEG-2 video-over-IP networking today is
supported by the DM 6400 Network CherryPicker and CP 7600G edge decoder
platforms, setting the stage for operators to capitalize on the significant
gains in network efficiency promised by next generation codecs, including
H.264/AVC and VC-1. Through field software upgrades to Terayon's current
generation hardware platforms available later this year, operators can migrate
and upgrade such critical services and applications as grooming,
remultiplexing, local ad insertion and local digital channel branding to
content encoded with AVC and VC-1, without 'forklift' upgrades or expensive
hardware swap-outs.
VoIP Cable Telephony
Complementing the digital video demonstrations will be the debut of
Terayon's TJ 900 family of eMTAs, the PacketCable(TM) certified TJ 945 and the
TJ 955, with battery backup. Both have been designed for the cost-effective
delivery of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony and high speed
Internet access.
