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.

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.

RGB Networks, the leader in network video processing, has taken three screen delivery to the next level with today’s acquisition of RipCode, Inc., a privately held developer of solutions for mobile IP video. RGB will incorporate RipCode’s technology into its Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG) enabling video service providers to cost-effectively deliver services to their subscribers on TVs, PCs and mobile devices.

“As video service providers consolidate their headends and build converged delivery networks, they require highly reliable IP video solutions that scale efficiently across all subscriber devices,” said Jef Graham, CEO of RGB Networks. “With the integration of RipCode’s mobile delivery technology into our modular, high-density Video Multiprocessing Gateway, RGB can offer a unified content delivery solution for TV, PCs and mobile in a scalable, carrier-class platform. We are already seeing tremendous interest in our multi-function VMG and this bold move quickly takes our capabilities to the next level, providing a unique solution that directly satisfies our customers’ requirements for three screen delivery.”

RipCode’s technology for converting live and on-demand video content to formats required for the mobile environment, complemented by RGB’s field-proven transcoding and ad insertion capabilities for TV and PCs, offers a solution that has never before been available to operators. RGB’s chassis-based VMG already delivers industry-leading MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264 stream processing quality and capacity for advanced video processing functions, including transcoding, ad insertion, transrating and grooming, with exceptional scalability and reliability. With the addition of mobile video delivery capabilities to this modular chassis, network operators will have the ability to perform any-to-any live and file video transcoding, adaptive delivery with Apple Live Streaming, Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe HTTP Streaming, and seamless multi-device ad insertion – all within a single carrier-class platform. This integration of leading technologies completes a one-of-a-kind solution that simplifies network architectures, streamlines operations and minimizes costs.

“Video service providers will require a new generation of high performance, highly reliable video processing solutions to implement ‘three screen’ service in which high quality video is delivered to TVs, PCs and mobile devices on a large scale,” said Gerry Kaufhold, Principal Analyst with In-Stat, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Today’s announcement between RGB and RipCode demonstrates that they understand the requirements for these new solutions and that they have the necessary software and hardware components for this new generation of products.”

“Joining forces with RGB makes a lot of sense—not only does our flexible transcoding and delivery technology round out the second and third screen solution needs of RGB’s strategy, but it also strengthens RipCode’s solution scalability for many of our existing customers and opportunities,” said Brendon Mills, CEO of RipCode. “In addition to providing a very compelling solution for three screen delivery, we can also now add high-density, carrier-class transcoding, delivery, monetization and optimization into our existing solutions for web video service providers, mobile network operators and government live and on-demand applications. So this is a win-win not only for RGB and RipCode, but RipCode’s existing customers and partners as well.”

“We examined several options before concluding that integrating RipCode’s technology into our VMG would be the most effective way to complete a three screen solution that would meet the challenges faced by cable, telco and mobile operators,” said Yuval Fisher, RGB’s Chief Technology Officer. “We have built the VMG specifically to enable video service providers to seamlessly implement three screen delivery, serving as the heart of a new generation of IP-centric headends.”

In addition to tightly integrating RipCode’s technology into RGB’s product line, RipCode will continue serving its existing customers and markets with its transcoder hardware and software products. Nearly all of RipCode’s employees are being retained, including the engineering team, and will continue to operate out of RipCode’s office in Austin, Texas.
