Tut Systems Inc. will showcase its industry-leading MPEG-4 AVC solutions for encoding and transcoding at booth 406 November 9-10 at TelcoTV Conference & Expo 2005. In addition, the company is pleased to announce the availability of a fully-integrated, tested and deployed Digital Program Insertion Solution.

Tut Systems' carrier class Astria content processor (CP) platform extends its industry leadership with the addition of the world's most deployed MPEG-4 AVC encoding and transcoding functions in the telecom marketplace. With more than 1,000 channels and numerous 100+ channel headend wins in various stages of deployment, the Astria CP, and its recently released Multi-Stream Processor (MSP) card, are leading the telco market for MPEG-4 AVC.

In addition, the Astria CP is extending its functionality for existing MPEG-2 digital headend customers that serve a video subscriber base large enough to support ad insertion business models. Tut Systems certified Digital Program Insertion Solution allows service providers to deliver advertisements and programs on analog and digital channels using common equipment and software and ensures interoperability with leading third-party components.

"As the leader in the Global IPTV video headend market, Tut Systems is proud of our growing success in the emerging MPEG-4 AVC headend space," said Mark Tiedeman, Vice President of Marketing for Tut Systems. "Our internally developed MPEG-4 AVC technology and our certified Program Insertion Solutions show that Tut Systems is committed to delivering world-class video processing solutions to our new and existing customers."

At this year's TelcoTV Conference and Expo, Tut Systems will also demonstrate its industry-leading, standards-based IP Forward Error Correction solutions and high-density, carrier class IP-to-RF edge modulation capabilities of the Astria video services processor.
