Vx8000 IP Video Gateway Provides Low Cost and Reliable High-Quality
Backup Links Over IP Networks LAS VEGAS, NAB, April 24
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Path 1 Network Technologies Inc.
(AMEX:PNO), a leading provider of IP video gateway products that
enable the transmission of broadcast-quality video over IP
networks, announced today that Univision has deployed Path 1's
Vx8000 IP video gateways on its network in order to establish a
disaster recovery transmission path in the event of a primary
satellite link failure. With the Vx8000, Univision can easily
reroute multiple video channels to alternate uplink facilities
using IP transmission over a DS-3 channel. The result is
uninterrupted, high-quality video services for Univision's CATV and
Satellite TV customers in North America. Jeff Hale, VP of Sales at
Path 1, added, "Broadcasters and satellite operators worldwide are
turning to Path 1 to provide a reliable, affordable link to support
video transport over IP networks, including the Public Internet.
The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina underscores the need
for backup facilities in case of a primary link failure or damage
to transmission centers. By using Path 1's Vx8000, leading
broadcasters like Univision are protecting the integrity of their
video programming transmission and ensuring perfect video at all
times." Path 1's Vx8000 is a multi-port IP video gateway that
provides a 60x increase in forward error correction (FEC)
performance with ClearPath Pro technology, an extension to the
Pro-MPEG COP #3 standard. ClearPath Pro FEC is specifically
designed to transport high-quality, real-time video over the Public
Internet. This week at NAB, Path 1 will launch its Vx8000 3.0 which
incorporates an expanded set of network analysis capabilities.
Additionally, Path 1 is announcing the May availability of a
standalone network analysis tool, NDx, that measures the key data
transport criteria of loss period, loss distance and jitter for any
type of IP network link, including the Public Internet. With Path
1's reliable technologies and tools, broadcasters and operators
will benefit from the cost savings of leveraging the Public
Internet, as well as the scalability and flexibility it provides
for broadcast video distribution. The Vx8000 enables broadcasters
to deliver real-time, broadcast-quality MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and VC-1
(MPEG-2 TS) video in Standard (SD) and High Definition (HD)
formats. Path 1 will demonstrate its latest version of the Vx8000
IP video gateway at NAB 2006 in its booth #C9535, located in the
Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center the week of April
24-27. About Path 1 Network Technologies Inc. Path 1 Network
