“VideoPropulsion, Inc. (VPI), a wholly owned subsidiary of
GENROCO, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GRCI) announced today its lineup
of demonstrations at the National Cable and Television
Association’s (NCTA) Cable 2K show which will run here May 8-11.
VPI, the emerging leader in video broadcast DVB solutions, will be
spotlighting several new offerings with three separate
demonstrations — a live Linux-based broadcast solution, a live
Mindport/Oracle Video Server (OVS) content management and broadcast
playout application on SGI IRIX in VPI’s booth #5161, and a Sun
Solaris broadcast in Sun’s Booth #3765.”

“Linux Broadcast Server with DVP-5464, Zapex Encoder.”

The company will showcase its new VDOPro(TM) Dual Channel
DVB Mux (DVP-5464) DVB-ASI 64 bit 66 MHz PCI Card — on a live
Linux Broadcast Station with Zapex Technologies’ new encoder.

The VPI dual channel multiplexer PCI interface is a powerful and
economical answer for video server environments that need to
minimize cost per stream while maximizing functionality. Running
with the Zapex ZL-330 Encoder, this open solution offers a unique
combination of functionality on Linux, the fastest growing
operating system.”

“By working with VideoPropulsion to tightly couple our
high-quality MPEG-2 and Dolby digital encoding with VPI’s transport
streaming capabilities, we are able to offer our customers a simple
yet powerful server for broadcasting,” said Gary Marsh, V.P. Sales
and Marketing for Zapex.”
