Cass Cable TV, Inc. Selects Scopus for Digital Simulcast Solution

PRINCETON, New Jersey, November 7/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scopus Video Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCOP) today announced that Cass Cable
TV, Inc., a family-owned communications company providing cable services to
Central Illinois and Missouri, has selected the company's encoding, grooming,
rate-shaping, and decoding solutions to enable digital simulcasting of its
cable programming.

"We sought a partner that could provide a cost-effective
comprehensive solution for digital simulcasting today, with the flexibility
to support additional revenue-generating services in the future," said Cass
Cable's Operations Manager Bruce Chilsted. "Scopus offered a complete and
proven system, backed by customer support and service, which will be
invaluable as we pursue development of local ad and program insertion
capabilities."

Cass Cable TV, Inc. is deploying Scopus E-1200 encoders, IVG-7100/7300
Intelligent Video Gateway (IVG) platforms, UID-2912 Dense Edge Decoders and
NMS management software into its headends. Scopus E-1200 encoders will be
used to digitize television feeds prior to transport over an IP network to
multiple Cass cable headends in Central Illinois and in Missouri. At each
headend, the versatile Scopus IVG aggregates the feeds and provides advanced
processing capabilities such as joint transrating, grooming, and rate shaping
for better channel utilization and bandwidth efficiency. The UID-2912 IP
dense edge decoders will decode the digital feeds back to analog, enabling
Cass to broadcast content to digital and analog subscribers simultaneously
using a single IP video distribution network. The entire system is managed
and monitored by Scopus' Network Management System (NMS) - a critical system
element that enables full system control and monitoring from the encoder to
the "edge".

"We're very pleased to be working with Cass Cable TV, Inc. to enable
their digital simulcast service and to put in place a platform that will
support the company's future growth," said Carlo Basile, Scopus U.S.
President. "Implementation of an end-to-end solution from Scopus means that
with a single call, Cass has access to the service and technical support it
needs as it transitions to digital simulcast as well as to technologies that
support its future business plan, such as digital program insertion".
