VideoTele.com Encodes Local Programming for Digital TV

VideoTele.com introduced a new line of encoders and decoders designed for service providers who wish to offer local video content to their customers. The M2-10 family of products includes the M2-10E, a half-width, single rack unit device that provides MPEG-2 video and MPEG-1 audio encoding over an Ethernet WAN interface. DVB-ASI and Dolby Digital options are also available.


TCT West of Basin, Wyoming has deployed the M2-10 products to offer customers live and on-demand broadcasts of local sporting events, town hall meetings and other community activities as part of the digital TV channel choices delivered over its DSL network. TCT West also offers video monitoring and surveillance services to local businesses. Video is recorded and encoded with the M2-10E at remote locations, transported to the TCT West headend and aggregated with national broadcast TV channels that have been processed by VideoTele.com's Astria digital headend.


VideoTele.com said that more than 60 service providers deliver digital TV from its digital headends.
