Through RGB’s high-density video processing Color IPTV is able to deliver more SD and HD programming without impacting picture quality. At the same time they can implement advanced advertising solutions across all channels to maximize their revenue opportunity.

Color IPTV’s system is live with RGB’s Broadcast Network Processor at its core performing critical video processing functions. The operator chose the BNP for this important task based on its proven high quality video delivery, reliability, and simplified operation and management.
