New Modulus Compression System Manager (MCSM) Delivers Complete Configuration, Monitoring, Software Upgrades and Fault Management for Large and Small Operations

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Further extending its award-winning MPEG-4 AVC encoding systems, Modulus Video, Inc., today announced a compression management suite that enables operators to closely monitor and control their AVC-based operations to ensure robust systems availability. Scalable to support operations from small subsystems to the largest, geographically dispersed network operations, the new Modulus Compression System Manager (MCSM) delivers configuration, monitoring, software upgrades and fault management. MCSM will be on display as part of Modulus Video's complete AVC system demonstration during the International Broadcasters Convention at the RAI Centre in Amsterdam, Stand 1.144.

Featuring an intuitive application interface, MCSM is built on a secure, resilient and extensible client/server architecture for easy deployment and rock-solid reliability. Open standard protocols and interfaces such as Simple Network Management Protocols (SNMP) facilitate ease of use, support integration with third party systems, enable alarm forwarding, and make it possible for higher level managers to directly and easily control Modulus sub-systems. MCSM supports standard definition, high definition and mixed operations.

"Modulus continues to develop its AVC product family with an eye toward the big picture," said Bob Wilson, CEO and chairman of Modulus Video. "Our customers need fail safe systems they can trust with the flexibility and features that enable delivery services with extremely high service levels of availability. Whether it's our new, powerful MCSM manager or working with the right partners to ensure seamless systems design and integration, we are committed to making the transition to AVC as smooth as possible."

MCSM will be available in Q4 2005.
