VideoPropulsion Provides MPEG-4 HDTV Service for MPEG-2 TVs in Hotels
Anaheim, CA - August 17, 2009 - VideoPropulsion (OTC: VPTV) today announced its solution for the thousands of hoteliers with MPEG2 HDTV sets looking to receive content from MPEG4 service providers. All of the leading satellite TV providers deliver the bulk of their HD channel offering using MPEG4 transport. Hoteliers have spent thousands of dollars recently to upgrade their rooms for HD service only to find out their investment may be stranded, and their selection of service providers limited, by the procurement of MPEG2-only HDTVs. Now there is a solution as VideoPropulsion's FG-422 series of transcoding FloodGates are available in the market. Delivered on top of its hotel industry leading FloodGate HD platform, the transcoder series seamlessly transforms MPEG4 streams into MPEG2 streams in real-time without any compromises on picture quality. At a fraction of the cost of replacing MPEG2 TVs with MPEG4-enabled sets, hoteliers receive all the features of FloodGate to enable leading satellite service providers' HD channel lineups.
"Service operators have been seeking a solution for this un-served market opportunity for some time now. Our leading service provider customers operate transcoding FloodGates by simply ticking the box and operating a FloodGate in the manner of the hundreds of hotels they currently service with FloodGates. This extremely leading edge technology is deployed seamlessly, saving hoteliers thousands and in some cases millions of dollars in TV investment" noted Carl Pick, CEO and Chief Scientist at VideoPropulsion. "FloodGate continues its exciting evolution as the market leading centerpiece of HDTV deployments in hotels."
