Triveni Digital, a subsidiary of LG Electronics Inc., has inked a reseller agreement with Evolution Digital, an innovator, manufacturer, and supplier of all-digital systems and drop solutions. Evolution is implementing the Triveni Digital GuideBuilder™ SI DVB-SI (DVB System Information) generator within a low-cost DVB-based solution that enables mid-sized and small cable operators to launch all-digital networks affordably. GuideBuilder SI provides critical program information to Evolution's low-cost digital- to-analog converter, which provides the subscriber with a more enhanced channel navigating experience. 

Evolution's offering within the U.S. market integrates the GuideBuilder SI within an end-to-end digital solution, including headend, conditional access, and STBs, provided with installation, integration, and ongoing technical support services. The system's reliance on the DVB standard enables use of a broader range of competitively priced STB models, which in turn makes it financially feasible for smaller cable operators to make the shift to all-digital networks. The GuideBuilder SI system generates accurate DVB-SI data and provides an intuitive interface for managing program event information. DVB-SI is the foundation for DVB digital television transport streams and thus is critical for important functions, such as DTV tuners finding the services and programs listed in EPGs. EPG data carried in DVB-SI tables not only provides immediate scheduling information, but also can hold guide data for many days/weeks and, in turn, facilitate automatic recording of programs in PVR devices.
