PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2002

As cable television viewers transition to digital TV services, the challenge for cable and interconnect operators lies in maintaining and expanding local advertising reach without costly duplication of advertising infrastructure.

nCUBE Corporation's Digital Program Insertion (DPI) solutions allow operators to support digital-to-analog and digital-to-digital cable television advertising insertion from the same cost-effective platform. nCUBE will showcase its DPI solutions at the 2002 Cabletelevision Advertising Bureau (CAB) Local Cable Sales Management Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, June 22-25, booth 401.

nCUBE's DPI platform is the most widely deployed solution for digital-to-digital insertion, supporting approximately 500 digital channels for AT&T Broadband in Los Angeles, Calif. and Time Warner Cable in Milwaukee, Wis. The Los Angeles deployment is the largest DPI installation in the world. nCUBE DPI solutions are compliant with the Society of Cable and Telecommunications Engineers' (SCTE) SCTE 35 2001, formerly DVS-253, the digital cue tone standard for communication amongst a network, server, and traffic and billing system used to insert a commercial into a television programming stream.

"With the increasing adoption of digital cable, DPI technology is essential for preserving and growing the local cable advertising revenue stream onto the digital tier," said John Boland, vice president and general manager of nCUBE's Advertising Systems Group. "As an experienced leader in advertising insertion, nCUBE is fully committed to working with operators in advancing the deployment of DPI."

nCUBE DPI is available in two forms, depending upon operator needs and stage of digital technology adoption. DPI Premium is an advanced ad insertion system that can simultaneously manage up to 40 channels each of digital-to-analog and digital-to-digital insertion. DPI Classic supports eight to 20 channels of digital-to-digital ad insertion, providing a low-cost means to retain local advertising on systems migrating to digital programming.
