RGB`s Video Multiprocessing Gateway Takes the "Innovation in Encoding" Category
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, announced that its Video
Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG) won a coveted TelcoTV 2009 Vision Award in the
"Innovation in Encoding" category yesterday. 

The VMG is a carrier-class video processing solution that enables service
providers to deliver high-quality digital and IPTV-based video services in both
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264. It won in the "Innovation in Encoding" category based
on the integration of its high-density content repurposing capabilities with a
number of other value-added video processing functions, including ad insertion,
transrating and grooming. Able to simultaneously transcode hundreds of MPEG-2
programs into MPEG-4/H.264, and vice versa, in real time, the VMG offers telco
video service providers a highly versatile and scalable solution as they expand
their video offerings. 

"Winning a TelcoTV 2009 Vision Award is another validation of our unique
approach to transcoding and of the ability of our Video Multiprocessing Gateway
to help service providers of all sizes deliver advanced video and advertising
services whether they use MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/H.264," said Sanjay Dhar, Director of
Product Marketing for RGB Networks. "By integrating transcoding with several
other key video processing functions in a single, ultra-dense, carrier-class
platform, the VMG offers a highly scalable and cost-effective solution for
transitioning video service providers` networks to an architecture than enables
the delivery of personalized services." 

A key component of RGB`s innovative content repurposing solution, RGB`s
next-generation approach to transcoding will enable video service providers to
simultaneously deliver any video program to multiple devices - from televisions,
to personal computers, to mobile devices - via any network and with pristine
picture quality. This ability to easily repurpose many video sources, deliver
them over multiple networks and to all viewing devices using a single,
integrated video processing platform will dramatically reduce the operational
complexity for video service providers to expand their offerings.
