at the Network Edge

MILPITAS, Calif., April 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today introduced
its latest digital video test solution, the DTS MVP-200, a dynamic new MPEG
video analyzer that performs monitoring and troubleshooting functions at the
network edge.  The product helps ensure quality digital video service for
cable, broadcast and terrestrial operators.  JDSU will showcase the DTS
MVP-200 at the NAB Show in Las Vegas (April 14-17, booth # SU7226) along with
four other DTS enhancements for digital video quality, and the demonstration
of a new automated content verification system for file-based video and
workflows.
    "JDSU is delivering digital video test solutions that enable some of the
broadcast industry's most critical requirements, including addressable
advertising, digital program insertion (DPI), switched digital video and edge
resource management," said John Govert, vice president, JDSU's Communications
Test and Measurement, Service Assurance Solutions product group. "JDSU
simplifies the complexity of digital video service delivery with solutions
that enable network operators to manage the technical processes at the network
edge necessary for video quality."
    These test processes at the edge include those for Digital Program
Insertion (DPI), ad splicing, rate shaping, grooming, MPEG remuxing,
encryption and modulation.
    In addition to the DTS MVP-200, JDSU's DTS product line now features four
new advanced digital service test capabilities, including:
    --  IGMPv3 support, which enables video technicians to rapidly access any
        program for testing by directly connecting them to a media switch
    --  GigE and QAM Channel Scanning to let users automate the process of
        monitoring the performance of video against MPEG compliances
    --  SNMP for real-time alarming for heightened awareness of the condition
        of video quality
    --  MS-RTP to allow users to recognize, parse and display MPEG streams
        embedded in a Microsoft RTP1.1 stream


    JDSU also announced today that it now offers the Baton Automated Content
