Share:
NAB Show, LAS-VEGAS, Booth SU 5408 and SU 15807, April 16 - Scopus Video Networks (NASDAQ:SCOP), a provider of digital
video networking solutions, and Neotion (ALTERNEXT:ALNEO), a leading technology provider for digital TV, today announced that Neotion's MPEG-4 Conditional Access Module (CAM) has been integrated with Scopus' IRD-2900 professional Integrated Receiver Decoders. The plug-in module, a unique version of Neotion's MPEG-4 CAM, enables operators utilizing Scopus' MPEG-2 IRD-2900s to make a quick and easy field upgrade to H.264 scheme without having to resort to the acquisition of separate platforms.
The future-proof decoding solution targets broadcasters, cable, terrestrial, Telco and satellite operators, and is immediately available to the large customer base of Scopus' IRD 2900s worldwide. Several of its applications include re-encoding, format conversion monitoring and content distribution. The solution also enables cable and Telco operators to distribute H.264 content to edges where a full decoding to analog is performed, thereby saving up to 50 percent in bandwidth over satellite and IP infrastructures.
Neotion CEO, Laurent Jabiol, commented, "The combination of our dedicated CA module developed to meet Scopus' specific stringent requirements, provides the absolute solution for operators moving to the next generation with as little disruption as possible. Together with Scopus, we are committed to the professional broadcast industry. Our joint effort fits our strategy of providing smart solutions for digital television."
According to Scopus IRD Product Marketing Manager Dov Litmanovitz, "This solution with Neotion furthers our system capabilities and delivers the answers our clients require. Having similar interests with professional operators worldwide and vast knowledge of compression technologies, the decision to team together was natural. We will continue to offer innovative systems to the market and engage the industry with leading digital video solutions."
