ADC's AccessPoint Provides Integrated IMA Video Capability.Business Editors SUPERCOMM 2000 Booth No.7439 MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2000 Broadcasters, Other Video Users Able to Transmit High Quality Multi-Media More Efficiently and Effectively Over Low-Cost T1/E1 Lines Whether for entertainment, educational or other informational purposes, multi-media designers and users have continually been challenged to balance video distribution capabilities with cost. Today, ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. - The Broadband Company (Nasdaq: ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ; www.adc.com) announced that multi-media professionals can now reduce distribution costs distribution costs distribute npl → Vertriebskosten pl using integrated Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA (Interactive Multimedia Association, Annapolis, MD) An earlier trade association founded in 1988 originally as the Interactive Video Industry Association. It provided an open process for adopting existing technologies and was involved in subjects such as networked services, scripting ), while maintaining high video quality. Traditionally, transmission of broadband information such as broadcast television signals required provisioning of dedicated high-capacity DS3, E3, or fiber loops. IMA protocols, ADC's AccessPoint(TM) Universal Media Access System provides multi-media producers and their carriers the ability to combine eight T1 or E1 network lines to gain the bandwidth needed to deliver program materials at lower cost, without sacrificing quality or paying for expensive high-capacity lines. ADC's AccessPoint IMA platform is an MPEG-2 standards-based, highly flexible access platform that operates over ATM to deliver a wide range of multi-media distribution solutions. The capabilities and capacity of AccessPoint provides carriers and multi-media professionals with an adaptable platform from which to transport video program content using public or private ATM, SDH/SONET or PDH PDH - Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy networks. "ADC was careful to fully integrate a wide range of industry-standard video, audio, data, and voice interfaces, MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). compression and transmission interfaces into a single, modular platform," said Karl Rookstool, vice president at ADC's Access Systems Division. "The beauty of this design is that AccessPoint will interoperate with other systems, as long as those systems conform to Verb 1. conform to - satisfy a condition or restriction; "Does this paper meet the requirements for the degree?" fit, meet coordinate - be co-ordinated; "These activities coordinate well" applicable video and network transport standards." The AccessPoint system is available in several chassis configurations, using IMA or high-speed network interfaces. The system accommodates up to seven uni-directional or three bi-directional video channels per chassis. Configurations using the IMA network interface provide uni-directional or bi-directional video and audio circuits utilizing up to 8xDS1 of bandwidth. ADC's AccessPoint IMA system is commercially available worldwide. To learn more about ADC's AccessPoint capabilities, please visit our booth at SuperComm in Atlanta, June 5-7, booth No.7439.
