"Digital video solutions provider Imagine Communications has raised $10 million from existing investors: Court Square Ventures, Columbia Capital and Carmel Ventures. This round of financing is bringing total venture capital investment in Imagine Communications to more than $34 million.

The investment will be used to expand support to the company's leading MSO customers, while accelerating the commercial deployment of Imagine's solutions for MPEG-4 encoding and transcoding.

The core innovations of ICE and ICE-Q are directly applicable to the TV Anywhere challenge," said Imagine's President and CEO, Jamie Howard.
