/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tut Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TUTS), an
industry leader enabling the delivery of next-generation data and
video services over broadband networks, announced today that it has
integrated its Astria(R) content processor (CP) and Astria(R) video
services processor (VSP) headend solutions with Minerva's
iTVManager middleware and Latens FCAS content and revenue
protection solutions at a deployment with Smart City Television, an
affiliate of Smart City Telecom of Lake Buena Vista, FL. The joint
solution provides Smart City with a secure, easily-deployed
solution for their innovative television services roll out at the
Walt Disney World Resort and other locations in central Florida.
From a central Astria CP headend, Smart City plans to deliver more
than 200 channels of video over their end-to-end fiber network to
residential subscribers. In addition, the solution will utilize Tut
Systems' Astria VSP for conversion of digital channels to analog RF
at the edge of the network for hospitality users. Completing the
solution are: -- Minerva's iTVManager, a complete software platform
for the management and delivery of compelling and profitable
television services over broadband networks; and -- Latens'
Foundation CAS (FCAS), a modular conditional access system which
enables IPTV service providers to easily launch with a secure video
service. "In choosing a partner for our IPTV service launch, we
looked for the optimal combination of system reliability and
quality, compelling user experience, and end-to-end IPTV
integration expertise," said Marty Rubin, CEO of Smart City
Telecom. "Tut Systems has consistently delivered on each of these
with close coordination with their selected third party solutions
to meet our specific requirements." "Smart City has innovative
ideas for bringing next generation TV services to their community.
Our iTVManager middleware provides an open platform for turning
those ideas into reality. The software's ease of use, flexibility
and robust feature set will help Smart City quickly attract new
subscribers interested in services only available with an IPTV
system," said Matt Cuson, VP of Marketing for Minerva Networks.
"Content protection is essential when acquiring current content.
The fact that Latens FCAS system is well accepted by studios and
programmers as a resilient encryption technology removes a
potentially serious content acquisition issue," said Dean Kashlan
-- GM and VP at Latens. "Latens is delighted to be an encryption
technology partner of Tut Systems for a reliable end-to-end IPTV
solution." "Smart City has an international reputation for
delivering high quality telecommunications services through its
