IJING, China, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- InnovaCom, Inc.,
(OTC Bulletin Board: MPEG) announced today that they have entered into an OEM
agreement with China based CST (Southern Telecommunication Development Company
Limited). CST, a fortune 100 company and one of the five largest high-
technology telecommunications backbone equipment manufacturers in China, will
integrate InnovaCom's TransPEG(TM) series products into their
telecommunication system solutions for deployment into the Asian continent.
InnovaCom's MPEG based TransPEG 500 Transmission System will be on display at
the CST booth in Hall 1, Booth 2B09, at the PT/EXPO COMM 98 exhibition in
Beijing, China, on October 27th to the 31st. The exhibition is the largest
telecommunications and networking event in Asia and is expected to have over
700 exhibitors and 250,000 attendees.
"We are pleased that CST has chosen our TransPEG technology to complement
their wide product breadth," says Frank Alioto, President of InnovaCom. "Our
MPEG based TransPEG transmission systems will become an integral component of
their telecommunications solutions for the emerging Asian telecom and datacom
markets and will play a vital role in helping to link LAN and WAN based
networks within the T1/E1, ASI DVB (Asynchronous Serial Interface Digital
Video Broadcast) and ATM based environments where the transmission of digital
data and digital video content is crucial."
TransPEG 500 Product Highlights
The InnovaCom TransPEG 500, part of a series of five MPEG transmission
systems, is a single channel ATM based interface utilizing either I/P or AAL5
protocols to transmit MPEG-1 or 2 data files over an ATM network.
Specifically designed for the next generation of economical digital
transmission digital video applications, the TransPEG 500 system has the same
type of packaging, similar control characteristics and future enhancements
such as MavNET(TM) network control as does the rest of the series, which
handles T1/E1 (Single or Multiple), Ethernet 100 Base-T, and ASI DVB.
The TransPEG 500 system is designed for a variety of operating
requirements, and are compatible with worldwide standards. The system
features:
* Standards-based 155 Mb/s ATM network interface cards for PCI systems
* Full-duplex 155 Mb/s connection to ATM network for PCI workstations
* Classical IP over ATM and LAN Emulation for transparent integration
with existing LANs
* Up to 1,024 virtual circuits supported with either SVCs (Switched
Virtual Circuits) or PVCs (Permanent Virtual Circuits)
* Video data rates from 2.8 Mb/s to 9 Mb/s
* CD-Quality stereo audio
* Composite and Component Y/C Video Inputs
* Manageable through SNMP and ATM Forum ILMI
* Ideal for either workstations or workgroup server applications
* Network operating system drivers for Windows NT(R), NetWare and OS/2
Integrated with the TransPEG 500 transmission system are network interface
cards (NICs) that allows the distribution of data over ATM based public
networks. With the ATM 155 family of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network
interface cards, users can take full advantage of powerful, business-critical
applications. The ATM 155 NICs eliminate network bottlenecks, increase data
rates, and enable full-duplex transmission for two-way simultaneous data
movement. In addition, the ATM 155 NICs integrate seamlessly with traditional
local area networks because they are interoperable with major vendors' ATM
switches, routers, concentrators, and edge devices, required to merge existing
LANs with ATM. The system also offers standards-based interoperability.
TransPEG Series Product Highlights
InnovaCom's TransPEG 100 to 400 series products are housed in similar
packaging to the 500 series and shares similar control, TBC (Time Base
Correction), audio and video characteristics.
The TransPEG 100 T1/E1 Single Channel MPEG Transmission System consists of
a codec transmitter/receiver combination capable of point-to-point one-way;
point-to-multi-point, one way; point-to-point, full-duplex and full-duplex
operation optimized for latency. Video data rates are adjustable from 400
kb/s to 1.2 Mb/s and the system is capable of transmitting CD-quality stereo
audio.
The TransPEG 200 T1/E1 Multiple Channel Bonded MPEG Transmission System
consists of a codec transmitter/receiver combination capable of
point-to-point, one-way; point-to-point, full-duplex; one-way optimized for
video quality and a full-duplex version optimized for latency. Video data
rates are fixed at 2.8 Mb/s for T1 and 3.8 Mb/s for E1 and the system is
capable of transmitting CD-quality stereo audio.
The TransPEG 300 ASI DVB Single Channel Transmission System is targeted at
port-to-link modulator or microwave modulator applications, adhering to DVB
compliance guidelines. A point-to-point, one way system, the TransPEG 300
utilizes the Company's TransLINK(TM) ASI interface, designed to handle single
and multiple MPEG 1 and 2 traffic. The system can handle video data rates
from 2.8 Mb/s to 9 Mb/s along with CD-quality stereo audio. A matching IRD,
with built-in QPSK is available as are up-link modulators and multiplexers.
The TransPEG 400 Ethernet 100 BaseT Single Channel Transmission System
consists of a codec transmitter/receiver combination capable of
point-to-point, one-way transmission via a 100 BaseT interface utilizing I/P
protocols. With video and audio capabilities similar to the 300 series, the
TransPEG 400 series also touts network control capabilities for multi-channel
encoder and decoder combinations. A matching network decoder is also
available in a single or 4 channel version. The TransPEG 400 also utilizes
the Company's MAVnet(TM) Remote Control camera control system.
"The OEM agreement with CST and our presence at the PT/EXPO COMM 98 will
help to solidify our company's technology base and add to our long-term
viability as a leader in MPEG transmission and ATM switch technologies,"
concludes Alioto.
