Harris [HRS], a communications equipment provider, rolled out a new plug-and-play module to support video-over-IP for rich-media- content distributors that range from satellite to telecom service providers. The NetVX Gigabit module is an integrated high-speed network connectivity service that can establish links with all packet- based services; it also can receive satellite signals.

The new technology will be used in the transition to digital services, and it supports as many as 64 bi-directional MPEG streams over IP, said Jackie Broo, manager of public relations. The new module was featured this week at the National Association of Broadcasters conference in Las Vegas.
