Triveni Digital, the leading solutions provider for data-enhanced digital broadcasting, is currently shipping its StreamBridge™ AG system. The system will be demonstrated at NAB2003 in Triveni Digital's booth # SU5475. The metadata and data translation system bridges off-air terrestrial DTV broadcast streams into digital cable head-end systems. The system ensures the delivery of critical tuning, branding, and program guide metadata for "in-the-clear" signals to cable-ready DTV receivers. StreamBridge AG automates and simplifies compliance with terrestrial-to-cable cross-carriage agreements including the NCTA-CEA agreement for carrying ATSC signals over local cable infrastructures.

The StreamBridge AG system grooms both programs and metadata from terrestrial DTV streams and customizes them for cable head-end delivery. It can optimize streams to decrease the bandwidth used for PSIP, and support multiple inputs and outputs simultaneously. StreamBridge AG also allows cable operators to capture the off-air terrestrial DTV broadcasters' PSIP information for use in the digital cable plant. System features include:

• Multiple user interface support via a secure client-server architecture
• Support of ANSI/SCTE 65 2002 profiles (formerly DVS-234)
• Merging, filtering and translating ATSC PSIP and MPEG-2 PSI tables
• Enforcing bit rate limits on PSIP PIDs and table playout controls

The system is available as both a stand-alone system and a software-only configuration that can be integrated to regular MPEG-2 multiplexers.
