Common use of Additional Tec Functionality Limits of CSTBS Clause in Contracts

Additional Tec Functionality Limits of CSTBS. A. Access to Additional RF Channels: Access to additional RF channels may be achieved either by adding additional RF narrowband tuners (each with its corresponding demod) or else by providing a wideband (or full band capture) tuner capable of accessing multiple channels simultaneously (via multiple demods) either from the primary network or else from a physically separate network. For example, the CSTB may allow access to multiple RF channels and have the ability to tune and demodulate two or more separate streams of video, audio, interactive media, service information or EPG data simultaneously and process these stream separately. This limit does not apply to additional network-based IP inputs such as an additional Ethernet interface. The limit given is per additional RF channel; please note thats this limit refers to the capability of accessing additional frequencies simultaneously (via multiple demods) and without restriction B. Advanced Video Processing: Advanced methods for video decoding, giving compression efficiency significantly beyond MPEG-2. Examples include, but are not limited to, H.264/AVC and SMPTE 421M. C. High Efficiency Video Processing: High Efficiency methods for video decoding, giving compression efficiency significantly beyond H.264/AVC. This includes, but is not limited to, the example of HEVC. D. High Definition (“HD”) Resolution: Video output with resolutions greater or equal to 720p (1280 pixels x 720 lines at 50 frames/s progressive) or 1080i (1920 pixels x 1080 lines at 25 frames/s interlaced). E. Full High Definition Resolution: Video output with resolutions greater or equal to 1080p (1920 pixels x 1080 lines at 50 frames/s progressive). This relates to chipsets which are capable of decoding and displaying such resolutions. F. Ultra High Definition Resolution: Video output with resolutions greater or equal to 4Kx2K (3840 pixels x 2160 lines at 50 frames/s progressive).
