Scopus introduce Intelligent Video Gateway for Cable TV

Scopus Network Technologies, a leading supplier of digital TV platforms to the cable and satellite industries, has introduced Intelligent Video Gateway (IVG) for Cable TV applications, the IVG-7300 series.
The IVG-7300 is the first element for the implementation of Scopus’ IVN (Intelligent Video Network) concept to enhance video routing, processing and management over broadband networks.
Aimed at the high-end Cable TV (CATV) market, Scopus developed the Intelligent Video Gateway to enable cable operators to offer “Triple Play” – video, data and voice – applications to their customers. A scalable head-end in a box residing at the master head-end, the IVG is housed in a 1RU chassis and encompasses state-of-the-art technologies to provide ‘Everything on Demand’ solutions. The IVG’s capabilities include video routing and processing, advanced video processing for MPEG protocol conversion, Dynamic Session Allocation (DSA™), seamless Digital Program Insertion (DPI) and bit-rate reduction and Joint Rate Allocation (JRA) for optimal bandwidth allocation using rate reduced digital turn around services that simultaneously control local encoders in the same statistical multiplexing group.
The IVG-7300 is capable of video routing, re-multiplexing and grooming down to the PID (Program Identification) level. It comes fully equipped with conditional access interfaces and scrambling per each ASI output, DVB and ATSC support, Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) bit rate reduction and seamless DPI in accordance with SCTE30/35 standard for cueing and API. The IVG-7300 can simultaneously handle 16 carriers per unit, 400 programs processing to be outputted at up to six ASI ports.
