Vecima Networks’ Terrace IQ is a highly integrated commercial video gateway that is installed at the customer premises to provide demarcation between the service provider’s network and the customer’s private video network. Video is received via IP delivery, decrypted and demultiplexed, then optionally transcoded from MPEG-4 AVC/h.264 to MPEG-2 video to support legacy devices. Video streams are re-multiplexed into a custom channel lineup for the premises and output with QAM modulation directly to televisions without need for set-top boxes. Deployed in large numbers cost-effectively and intelligently built for remote monitoring and management, Terrace IQ simplifies operations while maintaining profitability.

Judge’s Comment: “This product is a useful tool to have in the service provider deployment tool kit. There are a number of commercial, MDU and planned community deployment scenarios where this solution would be a real problem solver.”
