CMTS-Bypass

GigaQAM^® IP

Delivering IPTV over Cable...Today!

The GigaQAM IP uses CMTS-bypass technology to enable GigaQAM 3000 edgeQAMs to deliver any mix of traditional MPEG-2 video transport streams and IPTV, even within a single QAM channel.

Benefits of the GigaQAM IP include:

• Complete cable IPTV solution
• Provides CMTS core and upstream functionality
• Works with GoBackTV GigaQAM (edgeQAM) and RetroVue Application Server (resource manager) to deliver switched multicast IPTV
• Integrated with multiple third-party conditional access and middleware vendors
• Standalone video solution
• Operates in parallel with existing video, data, and voice services
• Converts QAMs to IPTV or mixed MPEG2-TS/IPTV 
  • One GigaQAM IP enables IPTV on up to 8 GigaQAMs (192 QAM channels)
  • Eliminates the perceived TelcoTV technology edge
  • Provides the same spectrum re-use savings as switched broadcast
  • Allows the use of new (IP) video sources and destination platforms
• Uses standard DOCSIS^® 1.1/2.0 cable modems at subscriber site
  • Available, low-cost, standards-based
• Enables the use of commodity IP set top boxes
  • Expands the available sources of hardware, codecs, conditional access, and middleware
• Compatible with existing headend infrastructure and services
  • Supports a flexible migration path from MPEG2-TS broadcast/narrowcast to IPTV multicast/unicast
• Combines VBR video and DOCSIS traffic in the same channel
  • Reduces the need for complex, expensive grooming and statistical multiplexing equipment
  • Supports linked MPEG/IP video enhancements in the same channel
