Tut Systems Inc., an industry leader enabling the delivery of next-generation data and video services over broadband networks, will showcase its industry-leading MPEG-4 AVC solutions for encoding and transcoding on 25-27 January at TVoDSL and Triple Play Showcase 2006 at Stand #213.

During 2005, Tut Systems more than doubled its base of international IPTV deployments and counts IPTV deployments in more than 18 countries across 5 continents. The deployments were the result of multiple international reseller relationships and the launch of the Astria content processor's (CP) MPEG-4 AVC encoding and transcoding capabilities. With nearly 2000 channels and more than ten 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.

"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 Bob Noonan, Vice President of Global Sales and Service for Tut Systems. "The rapid adoption of our MPEG-4 AVC technology shows that Tut Systems is committed to delivering world-class video processing solutions to our new and existing customers."

At this year's TVoDSL & Triple Play Showcase, Tut Systems will also demonstrate its industry-leading, standards-based IP Forward Error Correction (FEC) capabilities of the Astria® content processor. IP FEC allows routed video networks to recover seamlessly from lost or reordered packets that cause degradation in video quality.
