T-VIPS, a global leader in professional video contribution and distribution solutions, today announces that it will expand its market presence through the NAB launch (booth: SU 6721)of exciting new 3D, JPEG2000-based video transport, ATSC and video processing & switching solutions.

At NAB 2010, T-VIPS will demonstrate exciting solutions for the following areas:

• 3D video video transport
• JPEG2000-based video transport over IP
• Switching, video processing and service management solutions for ATSC broadcasters
• Video transport and switching solutions ideal for sports broadcasters
• Managed video transport, processing, monitoring and re-multiplexing.

“3D and IP are going to be the major talking points at NAB and we have the right feature set to be very successful in both areas,” says Johnny Dolvik, CEO, T-VIPS.

“We pioneered JPEG2000-based transport over IP for the broadcast industry, being the first to launch, ship and deploy this new category of solutions. Video transport over IP is now accepted by most engineering teams in North America, with both quality and economic factors leading to a very real acceleration of IP deployment, which we are well placed to benefit from. The US debut at NAB 2010 of our next generation JPEG2000 solution, the TVG 450, means that we are advancing our technology lead which will enable us to provide more and more broadcasters with the advantages of IP-based video transport,” concludes Dolvik.

At NAB 2010, T-VIPS will be demonstrating its full range of video processing and transport products including:

• The US debut of the TVG450 video gateway
• A range of ATSC ready video processing and management products
• The IP enabled CP525 cMUX product
• 3D over IP video gateways.

“T-VIPS has made a great leap forward in North America since we were last at NAB,” says Joe LoGrosso, VP and General Manager, T-VIPS Inc. “In IP video transport we have built on our studio-to-studio business by winning important sports contracts from the Big Ten network and for the Vancouver Olympics. We are making major inroads with contract wins in ATSC and we have strenghtened the team through the addition of industry expert, Peter Wharton. I am particularly excited to see the reception for our new JPEG2000-based solutions and our 3D video transport demo, which I am sure will be a big hit at the show.”
