IMAGINE DELIVERING THE INDUSTRY'S BEST VIDEO QUALITY ON DEMAND.

The Imagine ICE VOD System is the most powerful, scalable, and cost-effective way to expand advanced video services, providing the ideal platform for next-generation, consumer-controlled PersonalizedTV™ services.

VOD, along with PVRs, iPods, and the Internet, is leading the shift away from a broadcast paradigm to a more consumer-controlled model for video delivery. The Imagine ICE VOD System simplifies and accelerates this evolution, enabling operators to meet the demand for HD-VOD and other advances services. HD-VOD is among the most exciting and highest potential new revenue opportunities for system operators.

With major operators anticipating over 1,000 HD-VOD titles in the near future, the Imagine ICE VOD System helps to overcome the industry-wide bandwidth crunch, delivering 3 HD-VOD or 15 SD-VOD streams per 256 QAM channel without compromising quality. Offering a 50% increase over existing CBR solutions, our next-generation video processing and StatMux technologies extend the proven advantages of Variable Bit Rate (VBR) streams to consumer-initiated signals, dramatically increasing the efficiency of existing VOD systems.

Keeping Operators in Control

The Imagine ICE VOD System is also the first digital video platform to provide end-to-end quality of service at the video layer, enabling system operators to stay in control of their systems during the shift to consumer-generated content. Operators can now calibrate and prioritize the video quality of key content categories or even individual titles, ensuring HD or even super HD quality for premium services.

The Imagine ICE VOD System is fully compatible with existing infrastructure, and is a highly cost-effective bandwidth expansion solution that’s ideal for making HD-VOD and SD-VOD an everyday experience for digital cable subscribers.
