NAB launch for Tandberg’s new MediaPath system

The system offers content providers, network operators, and their affiliates, a scalable, end-to-end solution for the secure point to multi-point delivery of non-linear digital HD and SD TV programs as well as any other file-based content including VOD programs, advertising, music, and games.

The new MediaPath system enables content providers and cable, telco and satellite operators to closely collaborate to deliver more types of content, in more formats, more efficiently.

Using the next generation MediaPath system, media assets can be delivered to receiver locations serving set-top boxes, PCs, and mobile media players. Multiple delivery options include MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC.

The MediaPath system offers a performance boost over its predecessor, and supports DVB-S2 to provide faster satellite delivery while simultaneously enabling terrestrial delivery via a shared network. Terrestrial unicast and multicast distribution are supported.

Encryption software for security and error correction protects media assets throughout the entire delivery process. Proactive monitoring ensures content is flowing throughout the MediaPath system as well as the VOD and asset management systems downstream.

Components of the next generation MediaPath system include the Manager, Pitcher and Catcher. These components provide a high level of recovery and redundancy.

The Manager provides a comprehensive set of tools to access details about inventory, scheduling, security, reporting, as well as the Pitcher, Catcher and packaging components of the system.

The Pitcher provides robust and reliable simultaneous satellite and terrestrial (shared network) distribution. The Catcher receives content from the Pitcher and automatically delivers packages directly to an authorised asset management system or video complex, eliminating the need for costly manual processing.

Tandberg Television is part of the Ericsson Group. The company offers quality solutions for Digital TV, HDTV, VOD, and IPTV.
