RGB Networks and Motorola Team Up To Accelerate Transition to All-Digital Networks
Source: Motorola - Posted April 4th, 2005 1:02 PM EDT

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) and RGB Networks today announced an agreement through which Motorola will market and support RGB’s video processing solutions for the all-digital transition to broadband video providers. Under the terms of the agreement, Motorola will also provide system integration support for RGB’s digital migration products.

Motorola and RGB will offer cable and telco operators networked video processing solutions based on RGB’s Video Intelligence Architecture™ (VIA™), enabling them to create efficient digital video networks that effectively manage, scale, and deliver advanced services. Leveraging standards-based, high-speed Gigabit Ethernet technology, RGB’s VIA solutions enhance and support key video applications including digital simulcast, Video On Demand and broadcast video delivery.

“As a leading provider of digital video delivery systems, Motorola provides the sales, support and integration expertise to help bring RGB’s advanced network video processing products to the market,” said Adam S. Tom, president and CEO of RGB Networks. “With Motorola’s experience, resources, and relationships, operators will be able to deploy our flexible and scalable video solutions in their networks much more rapidly, with smooth system integration and first-rate support.”

The first product to be offered through this agreement is the Simulcast Edge Processor (SEP), which provides the ability to derive an entire line-up of analog programming from a Gigabit Ethernet-delivered digital MPEG-2 multiplex. The SEP facilitates deeper penetration of digital content distribution by allowing analog signals to be generated at the edge of the network closer to the end-user, simplifying the network architecture and reducing operational costs for the operators.

“The combination of Motorola’s leadership in digital video and RGB’s video processing technology is a win for the industry,” said Doug Means, corporate vice president and general manager, Digital Media Solutions, Motorola Connected Home Business. “Together, we can help operators accelerate the move to all-digital and offer advanced on demand services, while also enabling network providers to implement bandwidth-saving solutions quickly and confidently with a seamless transition.”
