"Introduction of the Scopus IRP-3910 reaffirms our record of
providing best-in-class decoding and processing solutions," said
Ovadia Cohen, Vice President of Business Development at Scopus.
"Integrating Horizon decoding and processing technology in the
advanced IRP down conversion platform allows us to provide the
outstanding video quality, performance and expansion capabilities
that cable operators expect as they transition to all digital
networks." Scopus' IRP-3910 is specifically designed to enable
cable operators' transition from analog to ATSC digital television
broadcasting. Packaged in a compact 1-RU chassis, the IRP-3910
provides up to four channels of HD decoding along with dynamic
aspect ratio conversion. In addition, it incorporates a powerful
multiplexing core that provides grooming and PSIP aggregation of
multiple HD and SD programs for digital content distribution. "We
are excited to be working with Scopus on development and deployment
of the most advanced digital video decoder and processor to be
released into the market," said Amir Morad, President and CEO of
Horizon Semiconductors. "Hz4210's unparalleled performance and
video quality makes it an ideal solution to power Scopus' next
generation ATSC products." Horizon's professional Hz4210 High
Definition single channel MPEG-2/AVC/VC1 Audio/Video decoder SoC
de-multiplexes incoming off-air ATSC transport streams, extracts
VBI data, timestamps, aspect ratio and other related stream
parameters; filters and decodes certain user programmable channels;
down-mixes 5.1 Dolby AC-3 audio into stereo audio; and performs
professional HD down conversion scaling and automatic aspect ratio
correction, as well as post-processing the output signal for
enhanced video quality. The IRP- 3910 will be demonstrated at SCTE
