IMAGINE OFFERING THE MOST ADVANCED SERVICES–AND THE BEST VIDEO QUALITY.

The ICE Broadcast System, Imagine’s initial product, is the ideal starting point of a system operator’s comprehensive and multi-faceted bandwidth optimization strategy. Since digital broadcasting of HD and SD services occupies a relatively large part of an operator’s available spectrum, the ICE Broadcast System provides a cost-effective way to add services and reclaim bandwidth, along with rapid deployment and seamless introduction into existing infrastructure.

The Imagine ICE Broadcast System instantly solves the fundamental challenge of high-bandwidth video services, enabling service providers to cost-effectively deliver up to 50% more programming without sacrificing video quality. And it provides a smooth path for rolling out other services, since the core technology is ideally suited to VOD, SDV, Internet, and mobile applications.

For the first time, system operators can broadcast 3 HD or 15 SD digital signals per 256 QAM channel while maintaining the highest video quality, thanks to our unique combination of next-generation video processing and VBR/StatMux technologies. By reclaiming a substantial portion of the available spectrum, the Imagine ICE Broadcast System provides the industry’s most cost-effective way to expand existing services and introduce new ones.

Unprecedented Quality Control

In another first, the Imagine ICE Broadcast System provides Video Layer Quality of Service from the point of origin to the set-top. Never before has this level of control been available, making it possible to calibrate and prioritize the video quality of key content categories or even individual titles.

It’s fully compatible with the existing MPEG-2 subscriber base, and far more cost-effective than other bandwidth expansion options, such as system upgrades, node splits, and MPEG-4 AVC upgrades.
