Sagemcom demonstrates, at IBC, live Ultra High Definition Television, on a platform
able to deliver extremely sharp pictures and smooth motion, with a resolution up to four
times higher than standard High Definition. The platform supports High Efficiency Video
Coding (HEVC), thus allowing operators to optimize the bandwidth required to broadcast
their content.



Sagemcom also showcases next-generation video gateways, acting as video server
redistributing High Definition content within the home, on any connected device, such as
client STBs, tablets or smartphones - without any compromise on the quality of the viewing
experience, thanks to a multi HD transcoder embedded in the digital core chipset of the
product.



The platform, powered by an ARM chipset and running a software suite developed by
Sagemcom, will be deployed before year-end, and will deliver a highly secured content
redistribution, thanks to the integration of a complete CAS-to-DRM management solution,
granting an optimal protection of content owners' assets.



Sagemcom relies on its proven expertise on Wi-Fi, including latest 802.11ac, to deploy
the latter in the coming weeks on its products. The next-generation STBs embed this
wireless solution, in dual concurrent configuration, that allows the operators to propose
a smooth, reliable, performing and wireless High Definition TV distribution at home.



Sagemcom, leader on the connected home market, shows its innovative abilities and one
of its trademark: bring on time integrated solutions addressing its consumers' needs.



According to Olivier Taravel, Sagemcom's Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of
Digital Set-Top Box Unit, "Sagemcom proves its capacities to develop, integrate and
deliver to the operators the latest innovations that will outline the television of
tomorrow".
