With video originating in either Standard Definition or High Definition, AgileVision's product technology represents a complete rethinking of the DTV transmission chain and the associated equipment requirements. This integrated technology can seamlessly insert Datacasting services data, PSIP (on-screen program guide) data, EAS (emergency alert system) data, local station branding (logos), and commercial or interstitial material into multiple ATSC compliant 19.39 compressed DTV program feeds without having to first decompress, splice and then recompress prior to transmission. Due to modular, software based, proprietary MPEG-2 algorithms, we are also challenging the previous paradigm that in order to achieve the desired picture quality during picture manipulation insertion, edits, etc.), the broadcaster's MPEG transmission signal had to be at the Contribution (45Mbps) level. Enhancements will include multi-channel outputs, advanced PSIP capabilities, error monitoring, multi-program splicing, input encoding, transcoding, format conversion, & IP multicasting. We will cover issues & solutions dealing with real-time ATSC MPEG manipulation (splicing, logo insertion, data injection), as well as the interaction and synergy between video format conversion and MPEG-2 compression.
