Scopus Video Networks to Demonstrate Emerging Technology Applications at the CableLabs(R) Innovation Showcase

Scopus Video Networks to Demonstrate Emerging Technology Applications at the CableLabs(R) Innovation Showcase

KEYSTONE, Colorado, August 6/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scopus Video Networks (NASDAQ: SCOP), is among a select group of 12
technology providers who have been chosen to demonstrate emerging
technologies at the CableLabs(R) Innovation Showcase on Monday, August 6, in
Keystone, CO. Scopus will be demonstrating an end-to-end system with two main
components: secure and error resilient video transport over IP, and stream
conditioning for client based targeted advertising.

Companies were chosen for the Innovation Showcase based on their ability
to demonstrate a technology or application that is new to the cable
marketplace and has not yet been deployed in cable systems anywhere in the
world. The Showcase takes place during a plenary session of CableLabs' Summer
Conference, August 5-8. Each company will make a 10-minute presentation and
demonstration before an audience of more than 300 cable industry technology
and business executives.

"Scopus' selection to be among this privileged group of companies is a
validation of our leadership in the digital video networking arena," said
Mario Rainville, AVP product marketing of Scopus' U.S. operations. "The
CableLabs Innovation Showcase is a prime opportunity for us to demonstrate
our commitment to addressing emerging trends and challenges faced by our
customers."

The two components of the Scopus demonstration are as follows:

Error Resilient and Secure Video Transport over IP

As operators deploy video over IP transport across massive networks,
internal or leased fiber, they are challenged by stream errors that affect
security and service. The Scopus implementation allows for secure and
error-resilient video transport in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
architecture. Scopus uses a simple scrambling / descrambling scheme coupled
with a Forward Error Correction (Pro MPEG FEC) mechanism allowing the secure
and reliable delivery of video over IP networks. Both the scrambling and the
FEC mechanisms implemented by Scopus are interoperable for integration in
open systems.

Stream Conditioning for Addressable Advertising

The second component is an end-to-end system implementing a client based
addressable advertising mechanism delivering targeted advertisements to
multiple settop boxes. In this system, the Scopus IVG-7500 video processing
device performs splicing and stream conditioning compliant to the emerging
DVS-766 standard. The stream conditioning at the headend allows the settop
software to transparently select the right advertisement matching the TV
viewer. The system integrates the advertisement conditioning system from
Invidi Technologies at the headend as well as the Invidi Advatar DPI client
which runs on the settop boxes and performs AD selection.
