PR Newswire (US)
Multi-Channel ATSC Professional Decoder / Processor /
Down-Converter to be Highlighted at SCTE PRINCETON, New Jersey,
June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scopus Video Networks Ltd.
(NASDAQ:SCOP), a provider of digital video networking solutions,
today announced the launch of its IRP-3910 Integrated Receiver
Processor, a versatile multi-channel professional decoder /
processor / down-converter unit. Based on a comprehensive feedback
from cable operators and Scopus' expertise, the IRP, with future
proof capabilities, is an all-in-one unit fitting cable operators'
requirements and specifically designed to enable their transition
from analog to ATSC digital television broadcast. By February 2009,
broadcasters must shut down analog broadcasts to free up spectrum
for reuse, as mandated by U.S. regulatory authorities. Cable
operators must continue to provide dual carry, both digital and
analog NTSC formats, through 2012. The IRP is the ideal
down-conversion solution for this transition. The IRP-3910 will
enable cable operators to receive, process, multiplex, decode, and
perform HD down-conversion and aspect ratio adaptation of off-air
ATSC broadcasts. With the phasing out of analog broadcasts,
operators receiving local channels as content feeds can deploy the
IRP-3910 as a simple and reliable solution for dealing with the
transition to an all-digital ATSC environment. "Scopus' IRP-3910 is
an elegant and effective solution that meets transition
challenges," commented Yan Mostovoy, Scopus' Product Marketing
Management AVP, "Now, any off-air HDTV digital TV service can be
down-converted for analog SD delivery by the IRP. Building on our
vast decoding technological expertise and professional solutions,
Scopus is pioneered a best in class platform enabling US cable
operators to confidently move forward to the next wave of industry
changes." The IRP-3910 comes in a compact 1-RU chassis providing up
to four channels of HD decoding along with dynamic aspect ratio
conversion. In addition to professional decoding capabilities, the
IRP incorporates a powerful multiplexing core that enables grooming
and PSIP aggregation of multiple HD and SD programs for digital
content distribution. This all-in-one architecture eliminates the
need for an external multiplexing device and in turn, reduces
overall system costs and complexity. A wide variety of inputs
(8VSB, ASI, IP) and outputs (baseband video, audio,ASI, IP) are
available with the IRP-3910, making it the perfect choice for a
wide range of headend applications. Scopus' IRP-3900 highlights
include: - Up to 4 channels HD Decoding Down Conversion to Baseband
Video - Integrated multiplexing capabilities for digital turn
around - Variety of front ends including 4 x 8VSB, 4 x ASI and GBE
inputs - Variety of outputs including 2 x ASI, GBE and Baseband
video / audio - AFD based static and dynamic aspect ratio
conversion 16:9 to 4:3 - SAP, TV -Guide, AMOL, CC, V-Chip support.
The IRP- 3910 will be demonstrated at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2008,
