RGB Networks, the leading provider of scalable multiscreen IP video delivery solutions, today announced the launch of its Enhanced Video Intelligence Architecture (eVIA), a suite of products and technologies including RGB’s award-winning Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMGTM) and TransAct Packager, that provides hyper-targeted ad insertion capabilities for the integrated delivery and monetization of video to multiple screens over adaptive streaming delivery protocols.

Online and mobile viewing of premium video content is increasingly complementing and augmenting the traditional TV experience. In order to monetize premium video services over new adaptive streaming protocols, a new video ad insertion infrastructure, based on open-standards, is required. To meet this need, RGB Networks, leveraging years of industry-leading ad insertion expertise, is bringing a first-of-its-kind product suite to the market with eVIA based on adaptive bitrate ad insertion technology.

RGB’s eVIA multiscreen IP video delivery and ad insertion ecosystem utilizes advanced adaptive bitrate streaming to facilitate targeted advertising down to the neighborhood, device or even specific individual subscriber demographics. The key benefits of delivering ad insertion in this manner is that video service providers have a simpler, cost-effective and more scalable solution than offered by traditional ad insertion methods while allowing hyper-targeting down to the most granular level. With increased revenues from targeted advertising, video service providers will be able to offer subscribers enhanced multiscreen services, such as OTT video delivery, nPVR, and Catch-up TV. The eVIA framework also gives providers the added benefits of cost-effective and seamless program substitution, blackouts and channel switching utilizing the same infrastructure.

“With end-users expecting personalized video services to be accessible on any network connection and on any device, providers are searching for options to increase revenues and lower the cost of delivering TV Everywhere services,” said Yuval Fisher, Chief Technology Officer for RGB Networks. “With eVIA’s hyper-targeted ad insertion capabilities, providers can increase revenue while simultaneously upgrading their networks to support large scale deployments of both on-demand and linear content to multiple devices.”

According to a Digital TV Research study, the average revenue per user for TV services will fall over the next five years. Two trends contributing to this decrease are consumers going to sources other than traditional video providers for video content, and at the same time video service providers being unable to increase their ad revenues. Adaptive bitrate ad insertion combined with OTT delivery opens the door to the possibility for operators to deliver advertising content to specific interest-based segments in a network, raising their revenues.

“With eVIA’s adaptive streaming ad insertion capabilities, providers can take charge of and monetize content in a way they were unable to before,” continued Fisher. “As providers accelerate the rollout of their TV Everywhere services, the investment in new IP infrastructure means they must look beyond the traditional ad insertion methods. Utilizing this new hyper-targeting adaptive streaming architecture, eVIA ensures providers around the world can truly monetize their content, off-set costs and successfully future-proof their business models.”

RGB Networks, the leading provider of scalable multiscreen IP video delivery solutions, today announces the addition of a new member to its award-winning Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG™) product family, as well as increased transcoding capacity for its TCM module. The unique VMG line of modular, chassis-based products enables video service providers (VSP) to cost-effectively deliver and monetize video services to TVs, PCs, tablets and other mobile devices in any size deployment.

“With operators going live with TV Everywhere IP video services, it’s becoming clear that consumer usage and the growing number of end user devices is putting a significant strain on network equipment to keep up with the demand,” said Brian Johnson, Director, Product Marketing for RGB Networks. “In consultation with our customers, we have developed the VMG 8 to address their desire for increased capacity, scalability and reliability, while still minimizing rack space and power requirements.”

RGB’s new VMG 8 inherits all the field-proven transcoding, transrating, ad insertion and other advanced video processing capabilities of the VMG family, and packages them in a new seven rack unit (RU) high carrier-grade chassis. The VMG 8 holds up to eight modules, providing a compact alternative to RGB’s larger VMG-14 that can also accommodate RGB’s recently-added AMP module — a flexible Linux-based blade developed initially for real-time audio transcoding — without exceeding the chassis’ capacity when a back-up module is added.

The VMG-8 enables VSPs to better meet their growing TV Everywhere requirements, including addressing an increasing array of applications and supporting an ever expanding range of end user device types, each adding to transcoding capacity requirements. The VMG 8 is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments or deployments at the edge, and is complemented by the widely-deployed VMG 14, which offers even greater capacity, allowing for the simultaneous processing of over 500 streams in a single chassis.

VSPs can utilize the VMG 8 to deliver a complete multiscreen TV Everywhere service with exceptional reliability. In its fully redundant configuration the VMG 8 can be configured with three video transcoder modules, one audio transcoder module and a single controller module for transcoding programs to over 140 streams for delivery to any IP-enabled device. In this redundant configuration, each module type has a back-up which can take over operation should the primary fail. Complementing its module redundancy, the VMG 8’s reliability is further enhanced with back-up power supplies and cooling fans which automatically take over in the event a primary unit fails.

Additionally, the VMG 8 has been designed to be ‘future proof.’ Utilizing higher power cooling fans and power supplies, it can support future modules with greater power or cooling requirements, enabling VSPs to deploy the VMG 8 today to meet their current needs, while ensuring that the chassis will support new modules as they become available. The flexibility of the VMG 8 is further enhanced by its ability to be powered by either AC or DC power supplies integrated within its chassis. This feature enables VSPs to install the VMG 8 in any headend, hub or other network location regardless of the existing electrical infrastructure.

The VMG-8 and the VMG-14 also benefit from recent enhancements to the TCM transcoder module, enabling transcoding of up to 60 SD or HD inputs and 240 adaptive bitrate outputs per VMG 8 chassis and up to 132 SD or HD inputs and 528 outputs per VMG 14 chassis.

All VMG chassis come with intuitive HTTP/Java-based control, while also offering SNMP support for integration into a facility-wide network management system. With reduced input/output Ethernet cabling, in-chassis redundancy and intuitive browser-based control, the VMG product line is unmatched in providing the lowest total cost of operation.

About RGB Networks’ TV Everywhere Solutions

Complementing all members of the VMG line is RGB’s TransAct Packager, an advanced adaptive streaming solution that ingests video programs encoded at different bit rates and outputs them packaged in the Apple HTTP Live Streaming, Microsoft Smooth Streaming and Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming formats.

Working together, the TransAct Packager and the VMG 8 or VMG 14 comprise the industry’s most complete, flexible and highly scalable solution for delivering TV Everywhere to all video-enabled IP devices.

The TransAct Packager will then ingest these programs and create multiple versions of each encoded at different bit rates which are then packaged in the Apple HTTP Live Streaming, Microsoft Smooth Streaming and Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming formats to ensure a ‘picture perfect’ display on the various devices.

The modular VMG is engineered specifically for advanced video processing applications for both MPEG-4/H.264-based multi-screen services and more traditional MPEG-2-based services. It delivers industry-leading transcoding, transrating, ad insertion and re-coding performance in a highly integrated configuration. The VMG’s MPEG-2-to-MPEG-4/H.264 transcoding capability makes it an integral part of a complete multi-screen solution, and its exceptional capacity, scalability and reliability make it ideal for large-scale deployments. The VMG is also a compelling solution for operators’ current MPEG-2 requirements, such as transcoding MPEG-4/H.264 streams into MPEG-2 and downconverting HD programs to SD resolutions.

RGB’s TransAct Packager is an advanced adaptive streaming solution that complements the exceptional transcoding performance of the VMG, enabling cable operators to cost-effectively deliver programming of the highest quality to the PCs, tablets, mobile devices and Internet-connected set-top boxes of millions of viewers.

RGB Networks, the leader in high-capacity multi-screen video delivery, will demonstrate how cable operators can deliver advanced multi-screen video services and advertising seamlessly and cost-effectively to TVs, PCs, tablets and other mobile devices at its booth (#400) at the annual CANITEC Expo in Puebla, Mexico, May 25-27. The demonstration will be powered by RGB’s award-winning Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG™)—the industry’s only carrier-class platform for multi-screen video delivery—and TransAct Packager—RGB’s flexible adaptive streaming product.

“The market for premium video services is becoming increasingly competitive as service providers deploy new video offerings that can be delivered to devices beyond the television. In order to remain the dominant video provider in their market, cable operators must transition to IP-based video delivery and leverage the capacity of their managed broadband networks to offer a better multi-screen ‘TV Everywhere’ experience than their competitors,” said Nabil Kanaan, Senior Director of Product Marketing for RGB Networks.  “At CANITEC, we will show how cable operators can utilize our Video Multiprocessing Gateway to stay ahead of the competition by quickly and cost-effectively deploying video services to any device without overhauling their existing video delivery and ad insertion infrastructure.”

Designed specifically to address a number of advanced video processing applications, RGB’s modular VMG performs transcoding, transrating, ad insertion and re-coding in a highly integrated configuration. The VMG’s ability to transcode programs from MPEG-2 into the more bandwidth-efficient MPEG-4/H.264 makes it an integral part of a complete multi-screen solution, while its very high capacity, scalability and reliability make it ideal for large-scale deployments. The flexible VMG also addresses large screen applications, such as H.264-to-MPEG-2 transcoding and HD-to-SD downconversion.  At CANITEC, attendees will see the chassis-based VMG deliver an integrated multi-device experience while simultaneously performing seamless insertion of ads.

The advertising demonstration will showcase the ability of RGB’s VMG to work together with SeaChange International’s Spot linear ad insertion system as an integrated multi-screen transcoding and ad insertion solution, controlled by the SeaChange Adrenalin^TM multi-screen video back office with full DRM support, to make seamless ad placements into mobile, PC and TV streams.  In the future, SeaChange’s massively scalable Infusion^TM Advanced Advertising Platform is expected to integrate with RGB’s VMG.

RGB will also demonstrate its TransAct Packager, an advanced adaptive streaming solution that ingests MPEG-4/H.264-encoded programs and creates multiple versions of each program encoded at different bit rates which are then packaged in the Apple HTTP Live Streaming, Microsoft Smooth Streaming and Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming formats.  This advanced adaptive streaming capability complements the exceptional transcoding performance of the VMG, enabling cable operators to cost-effectively deliver programming of the highest quality to the PCs, tablets, mobile devices and Internet-connected set-top boxes of millions of viewers.

Also at CANITEC, RGB will highlight the capabilities of its complete line of products for digital simulcasting, a proven network architecture that enables operators to reclaim substantial analog bandwidth that can be devoted to digital services, such as HDTV.

RGB executives will be available throughout the CANITEC Expo at booth #400 for interviews and demonstrations.
