/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS), a leading provider
of multiple system operator (MSO) broadband access for cable
telephony, data and video solutions, and EGT, a leader in
high-quality digital video processing, today announced that they
will jointly demonstrate a Switched Digital Video Encoding Solution
at the IBC Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam (September 8-12,
Hall 5, Stand 211) ARRIS has integrated EGT's ENCORE encoders with
the ARRIS Keystone(TM) D5(TM) Universal EdgeQAM to create a
complete video solution that delivers closed-loop encoding with
multiplexing, Switch Digital Video, and QAM modulation. The
combined solution from these two leading technology platforms
allows operators to meet their changing video service needs. The
solution is cost- effective and eliminates multiple elements from
the traditional network, lowering equipment count and expense. The
EGT and ARRIS video processing products are highly reliable,
flexible, upgradeable and hot-swappable, allowing service providers
to easily add features and functionality as they grow their digital
services. The ENCORE premium encoder can be upgraded to include
VBR, DTMF/Contact Closure Detection and DPI RateLock(TM) which
locks in ad insertion bandwidth. The ARRIS Keystone D5 flexible,
dense platform grows from 8 to 48 QAM channels and is upgradeable
to add MPEG filtering, Conditional Access System (CAS), and support
for modular CMTS (M-CMTS) architectures. "ARRIS is excited about
leveraging our strength in solutions development into the Video
space," said Charles Cheevers, ARRIS CTO, Europe. "Combine the
intelligent feature set in the ENCORE encoders with the intelligent
ARRIS Keystone D5 Universal EdgeQAM and you get an extremely high
quality video solution available today at a very low cost of
ownership." "By combining EGT's superior picture quality, flexible
and upgradeable ENCORE encoder with the versatility and capability
of the ARRIS Keystone D5, we have created a one-of-a-kind switched
video solution," said David Rubin, EGT V.P. of International
Business Development. "Our two products do the work of an entire
rack. It's that simple." ARRIS and EGT will showcase this new
product solution at the IBC Exposition in Amsterdam, September
8-12, 2006 at booth 5.211. About EGT EGT is a leader in
