Scopus to upgrade MTV Networks Asia's broadcast platforms

Scopus Network Technologies has been selected to upgrade MTV Networks Asia's digital broadcast capabilities in the Asia Pacific region.
The regional broadcaster, based in Singapore, will be utilising Scopus' digital broadcast platforms to further improve quality content distribution through its various satellite uplinks to China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan.
MTV will utilise Scopus' CODICO RTM-3800 (advanced statistical multiplexers) and E-1200 TriplePass encoding mechanisms (high end encoders) as its digital delivery platform to provide superb picture quality. The new system will be integrated with the Philips' CryptoWorks Conditional Access System for the transmission security of its broadcasts.
Ms. Tan Sher Li, Senior Director of Technology and Operations, MTV Networks Asia, commented: "MTV Networks Asia strongly believes in developing quality programming as well as quality broadcast delivery and are committed to investing in this area to better meet the needs of our audience and advertisers. Leveraging Scopus' quality products reflects our relentless pursuit for the highest standards in broadcasting technology.”
