To the Home

In a typical operator headend environment, Motorola is showcasing how it enables operators to optimise network performance and manage complex content processing and delivery; in multiple formats to multiple devices.

On display will be:

• Motorola's newly announced next-generation encoding platform which has been designed to meet future processing demands of both 1080P/50Hz and 1080P/60Hz resolutions using the MPEG-4 format, as well as providing additional processing horsepower to support emerging services such as 3D television and multi-stream output
• Digital video processing solutions including the APEX1000, Motorola's next-generation all-purpose edge QAM offering MPEG-4 rate shaping in a single box with SimulCrypt-compliant conditional access. Also demonstrating targeted advertising to enable enhanced revenue opportunities is the CAP1000 CherryPicker(R) application platform
• Motorola NBBS device management system - a flexible IP-based solution for managing devices from data and digital voice modems to integrated Wi-Fi(R) gateways and video set-tops, delivering service assurance and allowing operators to increase service revenue whilst reducing operational costs
• The Communications Convergence Engine (CCE) from Motorola, which enables operators to rapidly converge, design, package, deploy and manage a broad range of compelling services, personalizing content across the 'three screens' of the TV, the PC and the mobile device.
  

In the Home

Motorola is highlighting key innovations that bring richer, more personalized content to consumers in and around their homes.

• Motorola is revealing its new eco-friendly range of IPTV set-tops and accessories which surpass the latest regulatory standards and recommendations for lower energy consumption
