Engage Communication Tunes into MPEG Point to Multipoint IP Video Distribution.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers APTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 12, 2003 Engage Communication, Inc. incorporates 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). IP video stream redundancy switching into its IPExpress T1/E1 IP WAN Router A network device designed to forward packets to an external network such as the Internet. Most routers are used to direct traffic to a network outside of the one they reside in such as the Internet. product lines. Engage's REDundant IP Video configuration automatically switches from the Primary to the Secondary Encoder's IP Video Stream if there is a one second absence of IP Video packets from the Primary Encoder. When the Primary and Secondary Encoders are active the IP Video Stream from the Secondary is blocked from consuming WAN bandwidth. Engage dials into the need for speed to deliver broadcast quality IP Video with Inverse Packet Multiplexing. Engage's Inverse Mux technology truly doubles the bandwidth between two locations by splitting each packet in half and sending the first half on line 1 and the second half on line 2 for reassembly reassembly - segmentation at the receiving side. IP Multicast A one-to-many transmission of data over an IP network. It is used for a myriad of purposes including updating routers, announcing and discovering services and streaming media. IP multicast saves network bandwidth, because packets are transmitted as one stream over the backbone and only is a standard feature of the IPExpress and is utilized to distribute MPEG video simultaneously to multiple decoders. The use of a secondary decoder configured to receive the IP Video multicast provides for redundancy at the receiving end of the link. "The IPExpress redundancy capabilities fulfills the demand from our customers in the broadcast market for backup encoders and decoders to support live video delivery," said Mark Doyle For the BBC correspondent, see . Mark Doyle is a UK-based nightclub DJ, A&R man and record label owner. In 1999 he founded the record and lifestyle label Hed Kandi for Jazz FM Engage Communication President. Engage IP WAN models: IPExpress-MLBH-IPM-RED-T1 model has the redundancy and delivers MPEG IP Streaming Video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. over Inverse Multiplexed T1s. IPExpress-MLBH-IPM-RED-E1 model has the redundancy and delivers MPEG IP Streaming Video over Inverse Multiplexed E1s. Product will be demonstrated in Adtec Digital booth #SU5870 at the NAB show in Las Vegas April 7-10.
