Do More with Less

HDTV and Video On Demand (VOD) services are becoming key differentiators. However, a single HD stream consumes up to six times the information as standard definition video. So how do you add more capacity without ripping and replacing your entire network? Use advanced digital processing to consolidate headends.

BigBand answers the challenge

By performing sophisticated media processing and supporting digital video transport over any distance in the same platform, BigBand's Deep Digital Transport technology provides dramatic benefits such as equipment savings from headend consolidation and enhanced service reliability through headend redundancy. Moreover, its superior de-jittering capabilities enable high quality video even after signals have been transported hundreds of miles.

Likewise, you'll find the BigBand BMR®1200 Broadband Media Router processes video content at all seven layers of the OSI stack to provide all-important redundancy at the program level. What's more, sophisticated management software makes it easy to configure and monitor a network of these BigBand platforms, as well as provision content and services.

All of which means, digital processing is just another way we move the pictures that move you.
