TEMPE, Arizona, September 7, 2007 – Comtech EF Data Corporation, a subsidiary of Comtech Telecommunications Corporation (NASDAQ:  CMTL), announced today the introduction of a new Media Router platform, the Media Router 6000.  In a single platform, the Media Router 6000 functions as a satellite receiver, combiner, filter and video to IP transcoder.

As a receiver, the Media Router 6000 enables the reception of Digital Video Broadcast – Satellite (DVB-S) and DVB-S2 transport streams and IP-based multimedia (video, audio and data) content to be delivered over satellite or high-speed ASI links and distributed to remote devices. Supporting multi-protocol encapsulation (MPE) and Moving Picture Expert Group-2 (MPEG-2) TS (Transport Stream), the Media Router 6000 facilitates standard data broadcasts, as well as the transport of MPEG-2 video service over IP. 

The product also functions as a combiner/multiplexer, which allows content received from satellite and local ASI to be multiplexed in to a single MPEG-2 transport stream and output over the ASI or Ethernet interface.  In addition, the Media Router can filter content by static program identifiers (PIDS) from one or both streams before multiplexing.

The Media Router can also transcode video to IP received on the satellite and/or ASI input and output an IP stream capable of being decoded by a standard IP set top box or IP decoder.

The Media Router 6000 provides ease of use, flexibility and reliable operation, featuring an embedded central processing unit, an eCOS operating system and support for 1:1 redundancy.  It offers a variety of configuration and management options from the front panel to web-based interfaces.

This new product offering is ideally suited for broadcast and enterprise applications.  Based on a professional 1RU rack-mountable platform, the Media Router 6000 has ASI and DVB-S/S2 inputs, and ASI and Ethernet outputs.  It will support streaming of audio and video, multiplexing local content with incoming satellite content via an ASI interface, filtering PIDS on L-Band and/or an ASI interface, IP multicasting, business television, training, e-learning and live events.

“The Media Router 6000 is unique,” said Daniel Enns, senior vice president strategic marketing and business development.  “It provides the functionality of four systems in one, which significantly reduces capital expenditures and rack space for broadcast and enterprise applications.”

Comtech EF Data will have the new Media Router 6000 on display at the IBC 2007 Show in Amsterdam, Netherlands September 7th through September 11th.  Please visit Comtech at stand 4.151 to learn more about this new powerful and flexible platform.
