Conway Selects EGT for Digital Simulcast Rollout; EGT Encoders Provide High Quality Video for Local Residents.

ATLANTA -- EGT, delivering the world's best digital video experience, today announced that Conway Corporation, which operates the city-owned electric, water, wastewater, cable internet and cable television utility services for the citizens of Conway, Arkansas, has acquired 56 channels of EGT's QUARTET encoders for their local simulcast rollout project. The high quality video, significant product flexibility and cost-effectiveness of EGT encoders influenced Conway to choose EGT as its primary encoder vendor.

With EGT's encoders, Conway offers more digital programming to its subscribers while benefiting from an open and scalable product that provides high quality video output at very low bit rates. EGT products provide Conway with considerable performance enhancing functions that have been designed to intelligently reduce the complexity and cost of delivering a full digital video experience.

"The EGT QUARTET encoders are an important element in our digital simulcast project," said Richard Arnold, CEO, Conway Corporation. "Digital products are the fastest growing area of our business as more of our customers invest in digital televisions. The quality and flexibility in EGT products allow us to deliver a clear picture and save time and money, as we continue to grow the system."

EGT's encoding solutions provide an overall improved performance over traditional open-loop encoding architectures. This improvement translates to increased effectiveness of all downstream equipment, providing high video quality and significant bandwidth savings across the network.

" We are excited to be working with Conway Corporation as they deploy EGT's QUARTET encoders across their digital simulcast projects," said John Lappington, President of EGT, Inc. "Conway continues to provide the highest quality service to its customers and EGT is pleased to be a part of that tradition as Conway rolls out a new level of digital video."

EGT's QUARTET is a high-density encoder with up to 4 channels in a 1RU (rack unit) chassis. QUARTET is built on EGT's DSP-based platform, an open, programmable design that offers a superior, yet cost-effective solution that no other encoder can deliver.

EGT's MPEG-2 digital video encoders provide operators with a cost-effective solution to develop new revenue sources. Specifically, EGT allows Conway to deliver more channels of content with less bandwidth, reduce rack space and power requirements, eliminate the need for ancillary equipment, and add future video processing application flexibility.
