Vx8000 IP Video Gateway Provides Low Cost and Reliable High-Quality Backup Links Over IP Networks LAS VEGAS, NAB, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Path 1 Network Technologies Inc. (AMEX:PNO), a leading provider of IP video gateway products that enable the transmission of broadcast-quality video over IP networks, announced today that Univision has deployed Path 1's Vx8000 IP video gateways on its network in order to establish a disaster recovery transmission path in the event of a primary satellite link failure. With the Vx8000, Univision can easily reroute multiple video channels to alternate uplink facilities using IP transmission over a DS-3 channel. The result is uninterrupted, high-quality video services for Univision's CATV and Satellite TV customers in North America. Jeff Hale, VP of Sales at Path 1, added, "Broadcasters and satellite operators worldwide are turning to Path 1 to provide a reliable, affordable link to support video transport over IP networks, including the Public Internet. The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina underscores the need for backup facilities in case of a primary link failure or damage to transmission centers. By using Path 1's Vx8000, leading broadcasters like Univision are protecting the integrity of their video programming transmission and ensuring perfect video at all times." Path 1's Vx8000 is a multi-port IP video gateway that provides a 60x increase in forward error correction (FEC) performance with ClearPath Pro technology, an extension to the Pro-MPEG COP #3 standard. ClearPath Pro FEC is specifically designed to transport high-quality, real-time video over the Public Internet. This week at NAB, Path 1 will launch its Vx8000 3.0 which incorporates an expanded set of network analysis capabilities. Additionally, Path 1 is announcing the May availability of a standalone network analysis tool, NDx, that measures the key data transport criteria of loss period, loss distance and jitter for any type of IP network link, including the Public Internet. With Path 1's reliable technologies and tools, broadcasters and operators will benefit from the cost savings of leveraging the Public Internet, as well as the scalability and flexibility it provides for broadcast video distribution. The Vx8000 enables broadcasters to deliver real-time, broadcast-quality MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and VC-1 (MPEG-2 TS) video in Standard (SD) and High Definition (HD) formats. Path 1 will demonstrate its latest version of the Vx8000 IP video gateway at NAB 2006 in its booth #C9535, located in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center the week of April 24-27.
