August 5, 2009

BigBand Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBND), a leader in digital video networking, will demonstrate the latest advances in cost effective and unified digital video delivery across multiple screens and devices at the CableLabs® Summer Conference, Aug. 9-11, 2009, in Keystone, CO. 

Demonstrations will include:

• Efficient delivery of IPTV and web video to multiple screen and devices leveraging existing network infrastructure with BigBand’s Converged Video Exchange (CVEx™) and vIP PASS™.  The demonstration highlights reliable and scalable delivery of both traditional variable bit rate video to a legacy set-top box and a YouTube vIP PASS web session to a PC– all in the same QAM channel. BigBand’s new CVEx platform is an intelligent control plane that provides a unified means to deliver and manage video services across networks and devices.
• Network-based personalized TV giving service providers the ability to offer each subscriber a dedicated stream whether watching linear programming, viewing non-linear content, or repurposing content from the internet.
• Next-generation Edge QAM platform that meets service providers’ needs for highly reliable, fully redundant and efficient delivery of multiple services including Switched Digital Video (SDV), Video on Demand (VOD), addressable advertising, IP video and Time-Shifted TV. Based on the industry’s most deployed edge QAM platform it further reduces power consumption for a low total cost of ownership.
  

The CableLabs Summer conference 2009 is being held in the Keystone Resort and Conference Center, Keystone, CO.
