New PVR Functionality Enables Telcos and Broadband Service Providers
to Deliver Exceptional Video Quality with Subscriber-Controlled
Viewing Flexibility for High-End Residential IPTV Market
Eagle Broadband, Inc. (AMEX:EAG), a leading provider of broadband,
Internet protocol (IP) and communications technology and services,
announced today that it has added advanced, full-featured personal
video recorder (PVR) functionality to the company's advanced, MediaPro
IP5000 set-top boxes that deliver dual tuner, dual streaming PVR in
standard and high-definition formats for the residential IPTV market.
Eagle's MediaPro IP5000 has been proven as a high-end hospitality
IP set-top box platform capable of delivering standard and
high-definition formats with the advanced processing needed for
internet browsing, gaming, video on demand, and other interactive
services in the hospitality industry. The IP5000HD has been deployed
at a new luxury casino in Las Vegas, the largest IP-based high
definition deployment in the industry to date. By adding PVR
functionality to the IP5000, Eagle now offers service providers a
complete family of IP set-top box solutions that provide a better way
to compete with cable and satellite service providers on cost, as well
as advanced functionality.
"With the availability of our new IP3000 and IP5000 with PVR
functionality, IPTV service providers now have a powerful combination
of advanced features and functionality at the lowest possible cost
enabling them to offer a full range of highly competitive video
services to their subscribers," said David Micek, president and CEO of
Eagle Broadband. "Eagle is focused on delivering turnkey IPTV
solutions and these additional set-top box offerings enable us to
provide service providers with the industry's only, end-to-end IPTV
solution set with content, infrastructure and transport all the way to
the set-top box in the subscriber's home."
Capable of supporting a variety of leading middleware and
video-on-demand systems, the IP5000 platform delivers advanced content
system security and digital rights management (DRM) needed by a wide
variety of industries, such as telco, hospitality, enterprise, and
government markets. Available in MPEG2 format, the IP5000 also
supports the new MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video compression standard.
Eagle is enhancing the IP5000 platform with dual-tuner and dual
stream PVR services in a standard or high-definition format for the
residential IPTV market. The added PVR capability provides the
functionality currently available with cable and satellite PVR or
digital video recorder (DVR) systems, but in an IP-based format. These
features include: record, playback, fast-forward and rewind of live
and scheduled programming; live broadcast pause, instant rewind and
playback with slow motion; and the capability to use all of these
features while recording another broadcast.
The MediaPro IP5000 platform features advanced Intel-architecture
graphics and memory controller with a highly integrated graphics
accelerator. The architecture consists of dedicated multi-media
engines executing in parallel to deliver high performance 2D, 3D and
motion compensation video capabilities. The IP5000 supports a VESA
DDC2B compliant display interface and a digital video out port to
provide NTSC and PAL broadcast standards. The proprietary hardware
security features of MediaPro IP5000HD facilitate content protection
throughout the system when combined with HDCP. The PVR recording
storage capacity is dependent upon the size of hard-disk which is
configurable based upon service provider requirements.
