"Chris has invaluable experience in digital video and cable technology, specifically in the areas of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video coding, multiplexing and transport systems. His background is a perfect fit for Imagine, and we're very pleased to add him to our team," said Imagine's Lorenzo Bombelli, VP of Product Strategy and Management.
Bombelli continued, "We have moved from product trials to deployment. Our products are in high demand as large operators must achieve the highest video quality with the greatest bandwidth efficiency in order to satisfy subscriber demand for advanced, high bandwidth services. The ICE Broadcast System enables system operators to deliver 3:1 HD and 15:1 SD, increasing signal capacity by up to 50 percent. Chris' experience in this space will serve us well as we gear up for future deployments and product releases."
