Tandberg Television brings to NAB 2003 its open iTTV concept for interactive television delivery via commercial xDSL and FTTH (fiber to the home) deployments. Tandberg Television will demonstrate a complete head-end package designed to assist telcos and other non-traditional broadcasters in entering the broadcast market. Demonstrations will 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 9ä platform
.
At NAB, Tandberg Television will launch a dedicated real-time hardware-based encoding platform for Windows Media 9. A typical DSL or FTTH deployment features a complement of Tandberg Television MPEG-2 encoders, IP streamers, transport stream descramblers, and integrated receiver/decoders. Third-party set-top boxes, video-on-demand servers, and middleware for electronic program guides, channel navigation and other additional services are supported.
