Solutions for VOD applications
Wednesday, 26 November, 2003
IneoQuest Technologies has appointed NewTek Sales as its distributor for monitoring and analysis solutions for video-on-demand applications. NewTek Sales will promote IneoQuest MPEG over IP technology solutions for cable operators and equipment manufacturers pursuing video-on-demand (VOD) applications.
Gigabit Ethernet LAN topologies that use IP as the transmission medium are now being used as an enabling technology for cable operators providing video-on-demand (VOD) programming to its subscribers. The potential for signal degradation exists any time video signals are manipulated, including the MPEG compression process used to optimise bandwidth use in digital transmission. With VOD, MPEG is combined with Ethernet networks, resulting in a demanding application with critical compression factors.
Tektronix and IneoQuest are partnering to provide a complete set of MPEG over IP analysis and monitoring tools that will ensure users can comply to VOD standards and ensure quality of video signals.
