IPTV, broadband TV, Web streaming, government, education or enterprise video. Cisco Media Processor is a highly reliable, robust family of encoding solutions that optimizes bandwidth and delivers unique capabilities to transform an IP network into a true broadcast experience. It produces output in multiple resolutions for delivery to both TV and PC-based devices through IPTV set top boxes and Internet gateways, providing a broad reach of digital media to new subscribers. - Page 10 Push / Pull IP Multicast In addition to encoding video and up to three stereo audio streams, Cisco Media Processor can optionally process Line 21 Captioning information and convert this to both CEA-608 and up-converted CEA-708 captioned data. For VC-1 Advanced Profile, this captioning data is contained within the video bitstream.
