United States: BigBand Advances IP Video Delivery with Key Ecosystem Partners.Byline: datta03 BigBand Networks BigBand Networks (known as BigBand ; NASDAQ: BBND) is a multinational corporation headquartered in Redwood City, California, United States. BigBand manufactures and sells digital video and data processing platforms and solutions in areas ranging from digital video to CMTS. , Inc. a leader in digital video networking, today announced the company s completion of a number of key integrations that advance the delivery and availability of IP video, securely and to multiple devices. The company s IP delivery products, including its recently announced vIP PASS , have been integrated with leading chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration). , cable modem cable modem Modem used to convert analog data signals to digital form and vise versa, for transmission or receipt over cable television lines, especially for connecting to the Internet. , and digital rights management (DRM (1) (Digital Radio Mondiale) A digital audio broadcasting (DAB) system for AM radio in Europe. See HD Radio. (2) (Digital Rights M ) technology providers. These integrations are designed to provide an end-to-end vIP PASS solution for delivery of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. that capitalizes on existing infrastructure to deliver video services to a broad range of customer devices and screens. BigBand works closely with diverse ecosystem and network partners, leveraging its experience in providing digital video networking and advertising solutions, to ease the transition from standard to high definition television. The vIP PASS end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. is the result of integrations with leading DRM systems, off the shelf DOCSISA; 3.0 compatible cable modems and chipsets that are designed to create an open, secure and reliable IP video delivery system. On the DRM front, vIP PASS has been integrated with Widevine s multiplatform, multiformat DRM and Video Optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. solutions for secure, high quality delivery of premium content. On the consumer premise equipment side, vIP PASS has been integrated with numerous DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) A cable modem standard from the CableLabs research consortium (www.cablelabs.com), which provides equipment certification for interoperability. 3.0 cable modems and gateway technologies including NETGEAR, Mplus Technology Co., Hitron Technologies, SerComm, and DOCSIS 3.0 chipsets from Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. and other major chipset manufacturers. vIP PASS is compatible with and does not modify any DOCSIS 3.0 modem software. With the integration of vIP PASS with major DOCSIS 3.0 chipsets, most DOCSIS 3.0 modems can now support vIP PASS. An end-to-end solution, vIP PASS is part of BigBand s recently announced Converged Video Exchange (CVEx ), an intelligent video control plane that provides a unified means to deliver and manage video services across networks and devices, enabling a migration path to tomorrow s IP network. IPTV is not about the technology, rather it s about the underlying promise of being able to easily move video to multiple destinations securely and cost-effectively, be it TV services to the PC or PC content to the TV or mobile devices, said John Holobinko, vice president of marketing, BigBand Networks. We re pleased to work with leading technology companies to forge an open systems approach to DOCSIS 3.0-based IP video delivery that is seamless, protected and compatible with the latest cable modem technology that cable operators will deploy into millions of homes. BigBand s vIP PASS solution is designed to reduce the network complexity in delivering IP video services by leveraging the same cable network architecture, software systems and network-based tools that are used to deliver and manage all of today s proven cable video services. vIP PASS supports the delivery of IP video services to a wide variety of IP-enabled Copyright : Euclid Infotech Pvt.
