Initial VBR Stream Rate Shape
Rate Shape – “Fold” the video peaks into the valleys to produce a CBR streamRate Convert – Pull “bits” out of the video to reduce the CBR stream size
Transcode
Transcode – Video bit stream format conversion from source (MPEG-2) to target (MPEG-4)

When Everything is IP
A Few Technologies of Interest, and Concern
IP versus RF for Broadcast TV
• Advantages/Disadvantages of RF• No need for a STB for RF modulated Analog channels • Limited (proprietary) interactivity for advanced services• Potential for service theft via spoofing filters and pirate STBs
• Advantages/Disadvantages of IP• Common format regardless of service• Large opportunity for interactivity• Large opportunity for cross-media services• Limited potential for theft of service• In sync with FCC push to all-digital TV• Set-top box per TV or multi-TV gateway required• Potential for theft of digital content

HDTV – Tomorrow’s Compression Advantage
Content Protection
• Theft of Service• Major issue in RF deployments due to downstream only nature
•Hijacked analog taps and STB Filters•Pirate STBs (multi-settops in the home)
• Minor issue in IP deployments due to two way acknowledgment•Middleware closed loop STB provisioning •Difficult to emulate a STB with a PC (MAC Addr + Client ID)
•Theft of Content in an IP World•All content is high quality digital until it exits the STB •Need to protect both Stored and Premium Broadcast video•Content encryption + middleware = conditional access (CA)
