Tut Systems Showcases Leading MPEG-4 AVC Solution at Triple Play Showcase


PARIS, TVODSL AND TRIPLE PLAY SHOWCASE 2006, Jan. 18 -- Tut Systems Inc.(NASDAQ:TUTS), an industry leader enabling the delivery of next-generation data and video services over broadband networks, will showcase its industry-leading MPEG-4 AVC solutions for encoding and transcoding on 25-27 January at TVoDSL and Triple Play Showcase 2006 at Stand #213.

During 2005, Tut Systems more than doubled its base of international IPTV deployments and counts IPTV deployments in more than 18 countries across 5 continents. The deployments were the result of multiple international reseller relationships and the launch of the Astria(R) content processor's (CP) MPEG-4 AVC encoding and transcoding capabilities. With nearly 2000 channels and more than ten 100+ channel headend wins in various stages of deployment, the Astria CP, and its recently released Multi-Stream Processor (MSP) card, are leading the telco market for MPEG-4 AVC.

"As the leader in the Global IPTV video headend market, Tut Systems is proud of our growing success in the emerging MPEG-4 AVC headend space," said Bob Noonan, Vice President of Global Sales and Service for Tut Systems. "The rapid adoption of our MPEG-4 AVC technology shows that Tut Systems is committed to delivering world-class video processing solutions to our new and existing customers."

At this year's TVoDSL & Triple Play Showcase, Tut Systems will also demonstrate its industry-leading, standards-based IP Forward Error Correction (FEC) capabilities of the Astria(R) content processor. IP FEC allows routed video networks to recover seamlessly from lost or reordered packets that cause degradation in video quality.

The Industry's Leading IPTV Platform for Telcos

More than 150 service providers across five continents deliver IPTV powered by Tut Systems digital headends. The Astria family of video processing platforms, which serves as the core of the company's digital headend solution, processes both analog and digital video streams from multiple satellite and local sources in a variety of formats.
