Harmonic Introduces 3rd Gen Narrowcast Gateway

Harmonic introduced its third generation Narrowcast Services Gateway (NSG) smart edge video-on-demand (VOD) delivery solution for cable operators. Harmonic's new NSG 9000 series delivers a broad range of narrowcast services--from Everything-on-Demand to HDTV and switched broadcast. The platform is available as a single rack-unit with options for 8, 12 and 16 output QAM channels. Harmonic's NSG incorporates capabilities such as multiplexing and routing, program filtering, conditional access scrambling supporting session-based encryption, systems cascading and redundancy. The new NSG 9000 series supports standard definition as well as high definition video in all the various formats. Harmonic said its narrowcast EdgeQAM devices have been deployed in virtually all of the commercially launched VOD networks.
