Scopus Launches New Integrated Receiver Processor Platform

IRP Platform Brings Together Powerful Array of Multiformat Receiving/Decoding/Processing Capabilities in Single-RU Package

TEL AVIV, Israel, September 10/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scheduled to debut at IBC2008 in Amsterdam, Scopus Video Networks'
(NASDAQ: SCOP) Integrated Receiver Processor (IRP) platform is the next
generation of Scopus' world class Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD)
technology. A versatile multiformat receiving/decoding/processing platform
for cable, satellite, terrestrial, and IPTV operations, the IRP brings
together an array of unique processing capabilities, such as multiplexing, IP
streaming, transmodulation, and descrambling, to provide a complete reception
solution for content contribution and distribution over IP, ASI, or satellite
infrastructures.

"Today's broadcast operators and content providers are challenged like
never before to expedite a smooth transition to digital broadcasting and
establish mass delivery of HD services," said Yan Mostovoy, associate VP of
marketing at Scopus Video Networks. "At the same time, the environment in
which they operate has become increasingly complex, requiring the ability to
manage a large variety of video formats, technologies, and standards. With
the IRP platform, we're directly addressing these challenges by bringing
together multiple front-ends, program descramblers, and powerful
remultiplexing capabilities, all within a compact 1-RU chassis. The result is
a flexible and cost-effective reception solution that can be easily
configured to meet the needs of each operator or broadcaster."

The IRP platform targets broadcasters' requirements for handling
multiformat HD/SD content, MPEG-2/H.264 decoding, transport stream
descrambling, IP edge streaming, ASI aggregation, remultiplexing,
transmodulation, HD-to-SD downconversion, and more.

Additionally, the IRP platform 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, reducing overall system costs and
complexity.

The platform also offers a TS processor for multiple-program
descrambling, remultiplexing and streaming, and transmodulation from multiple
DVB-S/S2 ASI inputs to multiple QAM outputs. A wide variety of inputs (8VSB,
ASI, and IP) and outputs (baseband video, audio, ASI, and IP) are available,
making it the perfect choice for a wide range of contribution and
distribution applications.

At IBC2008 the IRP platform will join Scopus' line of unique and
comprehensive IP- and ASI-based headend solutions and video delivery systems,
high-quality bandwidth-optimization solutions for contribution and
distribution, and multiformat video encoding platforms for hybrid
transmission and diverse HD/SD services.
