InnovaCom Signs OEM Agreement
With CST And Showcases New TransPEG Products At
PT/EXPO COMM China 98
BEIJING, China, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- InnovaCom, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: MPEG - news)
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.
