Large U.S. CATV Operators (MSOs) are developing bandwidth-saving strategies to support new services in 2007 to 2010, as a means to anticipate new competition from Satellite, IPTV (or Telco TV) and Internet Video. Using Digital Simulcast, Switched Video, Statmuxing, G-QAM Usage, Reclaiming Analog Channels, and Node-Size Reduction as part of their arsenals, MSOs have already installed testbeds and trial operations as a means to enhance their operational and revenue-generating capabilities. The new report from MRG, “CATV Infrastructure: Assessing Strategies & Forecast” provides in-depth analysis and unit/revenue forecasts for strategic cap-ex outlays anticipated by US MSOs using these and other strategies.

Cable MSOs in the US are being confronted by new challenges this year that relate to maintaining and increasing revenue streams and profitability. Because of the increased pressure from Satellite, the telcos (IPTV) and even Internet service companies like Google and Yahoo, this study sets out to understand the technical and strategic priorities of the top U.S. MSOs (Multi-Systems Cable Operators), as a means to understand where Advanced Digital Advertising (DA in this report) is going. At the same time, we set out to understand how underlying infrastructure and underlying service development will (or will not) assist in promoting the digital advertising trials and deployments.

Digital Media Asset Management & Workflow Management in the Broadcast Industry: Survey & Analysis (March 2004)

An industry survey report that focuses on the production operations of primary assets. The overall primary focus was to understand the extent and success of use of Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems and, where applicable, Work Flow Management (WFM) systems.

Through the use of profiles or case studies, the survey examines how these solutions are used by major broadcasters and media production centers, and what changes are needed to address the evolving needs of the end users.

Four types of broadcasters are interviewed in this study: News/Sports; Broadcast/Internet; Feature Film; and Episodic Television. Each of these types illustrates a different perspective on the broadcasters’ intentions and decision processes.

With the use of in-depth, structured interviews of over one hour per broadcaster, extensive insight was gained into the operations of these facilities. This industry survey is differentiated by the breadth and depth of input provided by each of the respondents.

Home Gateway Report: Worldwide Multi-Carrier Digital Settop & Services Analysis & Forecast 2003-2006 (April 2003)

This report covers all major digital video carriers including Satellite (DTH), Digital Terrestrial (DTT), and Digital Cable. The Telco-based video market is covered in another report, IP/Broadband Video Business Case & Global Forecast – 2003-2006, also published by MRG, Inc.

Digital video households, while still far fewer than analog video households worldwide, represent one of the fastest growing sectors in electronics today. Anticipated growth from 2002-2005 is approximately 67% worldwide, meaning a potential windfall for infrastructure, receiver, display, and content suppliers.

The development and distribution of digital video content has grown beyond regionalism to reach an international scope. International standards like MPEG-2, Gigabit Ethernet, Internet Protocol, MPEG-4, MHP, DVB, OCAP, plus caching and storage products being formed into regional SANs (Storage Area Networks), all help to hasten the move toward a new kind of multi-channel economics for digital video services.

The traditional multi-channel video broadcast model is beginning to move into maturity. In its place, a more precise point-to-point model is emerging because broadcasting hundreds or thousands of unused “channels” no longer makes economic sense. Meantime, consumers of digital video will find an increasing array of choices including High Definition (HD), Digital Video Disc (DVD), Personal Video Recorder (PVR), home networking, and video file sharing. Therefore, video content providers, manufacturers, and service providers alike must stay ahead of the pack in this changing environment, taking care to offer only new services that consumers will buy.

This report is intended to help industry executives to exploit opportunities related to new technologies and emerging market forces. This report is also intended to help executives make profitable decisions today that will stand up in this fast-changing environment for years to come.

Video On-Demand vs. PVRs - US/Canada Cable
In North America in 2003, VOD/SVOD (Video on Demand/Subscription Video on Demand) should continue for the second year as the US cable industry’s most important new video service after high-end digital channels like HBO. With the capital cost per VOD stream dipping to below $200 (for networks already upgraded to HFC), subscribers with digital STBs can be activated (or enabled) easily from the headend. Because no changes have to be made (typically) to the digital STB in order to enable the VOD, the expensive “truck-roll” installation is eliminated. Only the headend and/or hubs need additional VOD technology.

By the end of 2002, the US and Canadian (North American) cable market had over 19 million digital cable subscribers, with an expected 36 million digital subscribers to be in place by the end of 2005. Of that, about 3.85 million subscribers, or 20%, were VOD enabled in 2002, growing to an anticipated 18 million, or 50% of digital cable subscribers will be VOD enabled in 2005. Worldwide growth and revenue for both VOD and PVRs also are reflected in Chapter 3 of this report for digital terrestrial, cable, and digital satellite, showing how VOD and PVRs will work together to provide new on-demand services.

This Market Leaders report identifies which IPTV systems and software companies are leading each of the IPTV markets globally and within the four regional markets that we track. We have measured market position using estimates of the actual number of active IPTV subscribers that are using, or being supported by, the company’s products for all product segments except the Video Headends. The number of subscribers supported is a direct measure of position of each company for all product categories, except one. For the Video Headends, we have measured market position using estimates of the number of IPTV channels that are be provided using the company’s products. Since a Video Headend may support two thousand or two million subscribers, the number of channels is a much better measure of each company’s market position. This methodology gives a good measure of the relative position of each company as well as the prospects for future growth.

U.S. Broadband TV Platform Strategies & Roadmaps; Survey of Media, Internet, MSO, Telecom, CE Players (February 2006)

Clearly, the growth patterns favor Internet advertising. The declines in once-reliable TV and newspaper ad revenues are partly the result of the erosion of the young adult demographic between the ages of 18-49 that advertisers pay a premium to reach. TV viewership among this group is down by one-third since 1993 as more consumers in this key demographic turn to options other than the living-room TV for getting news and entertainment. These alternative sources of news and entertainment include Internet blogs and podcasts that allow a more personalized, selectable experience, as well as video games and DVDs that grab mind-share.

IP/Broadband Video Business Case and Global Forecast - 2003-2006

There is a convergence of business and technical forces that is occurring that will cause telephone companies globally to use IP and other broadband architectures to offer cable-like video broadcast services. The mass deployment of broadband services together with major advances in video compression are creating the opportunity for telephone companies to provide cable services over their copper local loop plant. MRG estimates that there were approximately 36 million DSL lines in service globally at the end of 2002. MRG has found that current ADSL technology together with MPEG-2 video compression is capable of supporting either one or two video streams to a large portion of the DSL subscriber base. Improvements in ADSL and MPEG-4 video compression will make it possible for telephone companies to provide three video streams to many of their DSL subscribers by 2004.

This report covers all forms of broadband technology that can be used by telephone companies and other service providers to deliver video service using copper pairs or fiber optics. These technologies include IP, ATM, DSL, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Passive Optical Networks (Pons). This report uses the phrase “IP Video” as a general expression that covers all of these technologies. It does not necessarily require that IP be used throughout the system. MRG estimates that about one third of the installed systems are using some IP to deliver video.

Key issues covered in the report include:

U.S. Industry & Market Survey: Comprehensive Analysis of Wireless Sensor Systems (April 2006)

Wireless sensor networks represent an emerging set of technologies that will have profound effects across a range of industrial, scientific and governmental applications. A wireless sensor net is made up of a group of sensor nodes. Each sensor node possesses the ability to monitor some aspect of its environment, and each is able to communicate its observations through other nodes to a destination where data from the network is gathered and processed. Recent developments in wireless technologies and the semiconductor fabrication of miniature sensors are making WSNs smaller and more cost-effective for a growing number of uses.

U.S. Smart Grid, Beyond the Smart Meter: Smart Grid Demonstrations, Technology Development and Future Outlook for Green Grid (Renewable Integration), Self-Healing Grid (Automtic Restoration), & Electric-Powered Automotive Grid (Smart Charging) (March 2010)

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart meters are the foundational technologies of the smart power grid. But the smart grid is more than the home smart meter. For residential applications, there is growing interest and investment in many new types of consumer-oriented smart energy products, from home-networked energy usage displays to smart thermostats to smart-grid-friendly household appliances – all products intended to let customers see, measure and control their energy use. Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) on the verge of market acceptance are also expected to create greater consumer interest in the smart grid, creating demand for both home-use and publicly located smart PEV chargers.

The smart grid extends beyond the consumer and the smart home, too. The smart meter is just one of the various interactive sensors and smart energy technologies in a multilayered smart grid infrastructure and network. Integrated deeper within the transmission and distribution (T&D) grid are new self-healing grid components, advanced control systems and other upgrades to the utility’s back-office software that address important T&D challenges of infrastructure reliability, power quality and voltage regulation, and renewable energy integration and energy storage.

During the past few years, new technologies have emerged that, if properly nurtured, could provide the key to a broader effort to wean Americans off foreign oil, drastically reduce pollution, help slow global warming and revolutionize portable power. One is an industrial process that may make ethanol far cheaper to produce than ever before, with the potential of making this much-maligned—and over-subsidized—biofuel economically competitive with gasoline. This is far more promising, in the near term, than much of the research on which we're currently spending federal dollars and intellectual energy.
