Agency.Com Selects VideoPropulsion VDOHub To Move Video
Throughout Facility
Interactive Media Pioneer Eliminates Need to Retrofit
Building with High-Cost Coaxial Cable
SLINGER, Wis., - September 6, 2001 - VideoPropulsion, Inc.
("VPI") (OTC BB: "VDOP"), announced today that AGENCY.COM
has chosen VDOPro(TM) Media hubs to serve as the video
distribution solution over an existing fiber infrastructure,
eliminating the need to purchase and install new coaxial cable
throughout their facility. The VPI VDOHub is a new, standalone
device that is used to convert, split, or extend DVB-ASI links.
VDOHubs, which can be connected in series in order to form
arbitrarily long links, also have the ability to convert
DVB-ASI copper signals to optical or optical to copper - one
of the features that attracted Agency.Com to this solution.
"Through the implementation of VideoPropulsion's VDOHub,
Agency.Com avoided the very high cost of laying coaxial cable
throughout our building" said Joe Jaffe Project Manager, iTV
Agency.Com North America.
In addition to allowing Agency.Com to leverage existing fiber
resources they can now transmit video to their demonstration
facility 38 floors away from their development area through
the utilization of existing low loss fiber optic cabling.
"Video is now available anywhere in the facility where there
are existing fiber jacks, so there is no need to install
additional cables or outlets" added Jaffe. Agency deployed a
VDOHub at the broadcast server, converting the copper output
from VPI's DVB-ASI transmit card so that it could be directly
connected to the existing fiber optics already installed in
their facility. Utilizing VDOHubs at any location with an
optical jack in the facility allows them to convert back to
copper for connection to decoders, modulators or other VPI
receive cards. VDOHubs are also available in rack mount
packages with one or two hubs per 1U enclosure.
