[Video Products Group introduces solution allowing the transmission of HD-SDI signals over existing VPG 270 MBps networks. ]

Amsterdam -- Video Products Group Inc., (VPG), a leading provider of NEBS 3 – compliant professional video transport equipment, is introducing a solution that will enable VPG customers to transmit high-quality HD-SDI signals over their existing 270Mbps networks. The VS901 is VPG’s initial offering in its GIGA-Ventura product line, indicating that the card installs in VPG’s Ventura chassis and employs advanced Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology. Video Products Group is demonstrating the VS901, which occupies a single slot in the Ventura chassis, at stand 2.341 at IBC2007 in Amsterdam.

Because of its compatibility with the Ventura product line, the VS901 offers NEBS-3 compliance and straightforward integration with existing VPG and third-party installations. It employs JPEG 2000 to achieve subjectively lossless to near-mathematically lossless compression, translating HD-SDI input into SDTI for OC3/STM-1, OC12/STM-4 or 100/1000 Ethernet transmission. For efficient long distance transport, output from the VS901 can feed VPG multiplexing equipment such as the Ventura VS411 or VS811, or the BRAVOnet VPG9000.

The VS901, and all future GIGA-Ventura products, will be compatible with VPG’s VS183 ANMS network management system for Web browser and SNMP – based configuration and control.

Future products in the GIGA-Ventura line will address IP-based transport, as well as SONET/SDH single- and multi-channel applications. Highly flexible multiplexers with network interfaces are also in the pipeline.
