Tandberg Delivers TV Over IP Solution
March 12, 2003
Orlando, FL - Tandberg Television, a leading supplier of open solutions for digital broadcasting, brings to NAB 2003 deployments.
Tandberg Television will demonstrate its open iTTV concept for interactive television delivery via commercial xDSL and FTTH (fiber to the home), a complete head-end package designed to assist telcos and other non-traditional broadcasters to enter the broadcast market quickly and cost effectively. The potential to offer a "Triple Play" service of telephony, high-speed internet and broadcast television over one network, coupled with true video-on-demand (VoD), creates substantial benefits to both operators
and consumers.
Demonstrations of the solution include streaming video and true video-on-demand over MPEG-2, plus picture quality and bit-rate improvements realized when deploying broadband IP delivery over the new Microsoft Windows Media 9 platform. At NAB, Tandberg Television will launch a dedicated real-time hardware-based encoding platform for Windows Media 9.
Third-party set-top boxes, video-on-demand servers, and middleware for electronic program guides, channel navigation and other additional services are supported.
