Taking content cross platform
DBS has already beaten cable to the punch with complementary
mobile video products, but coding video for expensive
handheld media players is just one piece of the puzzle
that the cable industry must solve in order to get
its high-end video products from the TV to media players,
cell phones and other electronics devices and gizmos
that will infiltrate the consumer market. In addition
to taking a glance at the drivers for this emerging
element of the business, panelists will shine the
light on important elements such as transcoding, content
protection and transport.

Put that in your Set-Top
- And Stream It!
Cable vendors, chipmakers and operators alike are
moving ahead with strategies that will enable set-tops
to bond downstream channels and create a fat pipe
for video that will complement traditional MPEG delivery
of digital video. What role will the DOCSIS Set-top
Gateway (DSG) play in such an environment? This session
will cover the key reasons for this strategy and find
out how close or how far away this is from becoming
reality.
