Many new video networks are being created using a future-friendly, dedicated IP infrastructure for contribution and distribution. Using IP offers service providers unparalleled flexibility and performance as they rapidly launch new video and data services. In addition to the increased flexibility, there is a significant opportunity to achieve long-term CAPEX and OPEX savings.

For even more flexibility, Cisco offers a wide range of both IP and ATM video network adapters capable of handling ASI, SDI and HD-SDI sources. Cisco's video network adapters help enable broadcasters and telecom operators enjoy the benefits of real time delivery of high-quality video over cost-effective Ethernet links, while maintaining the reliability and quality of service they expect for mission critical video services.

Cisco offers proven solutions that encode, secure, decode, and reformat video to make one stream to many screens a reality - from the content provider to the end device.
