EGT to Showcase HEMi, Head End Micro Edge Encoder At The Independent Show 2006.

ATLANTA -- EGT, delivering the world's best digital video experience, will showcase its new HEMi (Head End Micro Edge Encoder), as well as its ENCORE and QUARTET encoders at the EGT booth, number 515 during The Independent Show in Chicago, July 30 - August 1, 2006. EGT encoders and supporting solutions offer independent cable operators more channels of content with less bandwidth, reduced rack space and power requirements and significant flexibility at the highest quality video output.

EGT products provide considerable performance enhancing functions that have been designed to intelligently reduce the complexity and cost of delivering a full digital video experience to the subscriber. Also, cable operators have the ability to upgrade EGT encoders with feature-rich enhancements, such as variable bit rate and distributed closed-loop encoding.

At The Independent Show, EGT will feature:

--HEMi, a low-cost, high-density edge encoding solution for off-site insertion of local channels. Perfect for MDU and closed communities, HEMi provides an integrated and scalable solution that encodes, multiplexes, modulates and converts up to nine channels, such as security cameras, community programming or events calendars.

--ENCORE, the company's premium MPEG-2 video processing platform, offers operators a break-through solution for providing superior quality digital video while maximizing bandwidth efficiency. Designed to capitalize on EGT's latest algorithm improvements, ENCORE offers the best video quality at the lowest bit rates. Feature rich, ENCORE is the top of the line encoding solution.

--DPI RateLock(TM), the world's first video encoding feature that allows the cable systems to define and lock in the bandwidth rate for their commercial spots ensuring the highest quality video performance. This ground-breaking new feature preserves the efficiency of the closed-loop multiplex and protects the quality of digitally inserted advertisements. Available now in the ENCORE product line, DPI RateLock(TM) offers operators a previously unavailable method to guarantee an available bit rate for their digital advertising and ensure premium video quality across all programs and advertisements.

--QUARTET, a high-density, constant bit rate (CBR) encoder with up to 4 channels in a 1RU (rack unit) chassis. Cost-effective in design, QUARTET is built on EGT's DSP-based platform, an open, programmable design that offers superior picture quality and an upgrade path that allow the product to grow with the operators digital infrastructure.
