Scopus Introduces Best-In-Class Solution for February 2009 Transition to Digital TV

Scopus Introduces Best-In-Class Solution for February 2009 Transition to Digital TV

Multi-Channel ATSC Professional Decoder / Processor / Down-Converter to be Highlighted at SCTE

PRINCETON, New Jersey, June 17/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scopus Video Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCOP), a provider of
digital video networking solutions, today announced the launch of its
IRP-3910 Integrated Receiver Processor, a versatile multi-channel
professional decoder / processor / down-converter unit. Based on a
comprehensive feedback from cable operators and Scopus' expertise, the IRP,
with future proof capabilities, is an all-in-one unit fitting cable
operators' requirements and specifically designed to enable their transition
from analog to ATSC digital television broadcast.

By February 2009, broadcasters must shut down analog
broadcasts to free up spectrum for reuse, as mandated by U.S. regulatory
authorities. Cable operators must continue to provide dual carry, both
digital and analog NTSC formats, through 2012. The IRP is the ideal
down-conversion solution for this transition.

The IRP-3910 will enable cable operators to receive, process,
multiplex, decode, and perform HD down-conversion and aspect ratio adaptation
of off-air ATSC broadcasts. With the phasing out of analog broadcasts,
operators receiving local channels as content feeds can deploy the IRP-3910
as a simple and reliable solution for dealing with the transition to an
all-digital ATSC environment.

"Scopus' IRP-3910 is an elegant and effective solution that
meets transition challenges," commented Yan Mostovoy, Scopus' Product
Marketing Management AVP, "Now, any off-air HDTV digital TV service can be
down-converted for analog SD delivery by the IRP. Building on our vast
decoding technological expertise and professional solutions, Scopus is
pioneered a best in class platform enabling US cable operators to confidently
move forward to the next wave of industry changes."

The IRP-3910 comes in a compact 1-RU chassis providing up to
four channels of HD decoding along with dynamic aspect ratio conversion. In
addition to professional decoding capabilities, the IRP incorporates a
powerful multiplexing core that enables grooming and PSIP aggregation of
multiple HD and SD programs for digital content distribution. This all-in-one
architecture eliminates the need for an external multiplexing device and in
turn, reduces overall system costs and complexity. A wide variety of inputs
(8VSB, ASI, IP) and outputs (baseband video, audio,ASI, IP) are available
with the IRP-3910, making it the perfect choice for a wide range of headend
applications.

Scopus' IRP-3900 highlights include:



- Up to 4 channels HD Decoding Down Conversion to Baseband Video
- Integrated multiplexing capabilities for digital turn around
- Variety of front ends including 4 x 8VSB, 4 x ASI and GBE inputs
- Variety of outputs including 2 x ASI, GBE and Baseband video / audio
- AFD based static and dynamic aspect ratio conversion 16:9 to 4:3
- SAP, TV -Guide, AMOL, CC, V-Chip support.


The IRP- 3910 will be demonstrated at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2008, Scopus'
booth #434
