Complete hardware and software broadcasting solution supports TV, PC and mobile video services
[Westford, MA and Eindhoven, the Netherlands, September 8, 2009]
Verivue, provider of
network-centric media platforms, and eventIS, the European developer of video-on-demand
and linear broadcasting software, today announced their cooperation on the development of a
complete solution for on-demand digital videoservices. Combining eventIS back-office
software with Verivue’s Media Distribution Switch (MDX 9000) systems, the two companies
have developed a single solution that supports cable and telco operators’ advanced digital
television services.
Verivue’s MDX 9000 series is the first network-centric platform with integrated solid-state
storage built for the high-volume delivery of video to TVs, PCs and mobile devices. eventIS’
converged Service Delivery Platform (cSDP) manages and integrates broadcast and VOD
metadata, controls on demand network allocation and manages VOD subscriber information
for three-screen delivery. By combining these two platforms into a single system, the two
companies can provide a seamless solution that efficiently delivers on-demand video services.
“
EventIS’ success in the European market is attributable, in part, to our open interfaces that
enable television operators to take advantage of the best technology platforms,” said Erwin
van Dommelen, President, eventIS. “Our cooperation with Verivue gives customers the
benefits of our popular back office software, together with Verivue’s media storage and
distribution platform.”
“The MDX 9000 enables operators to advance new video services on all the devices that their
customers are using today, while eliminating datacenter sprawl and operational
inefficiencies,” said Jim Dolce, CEO of Verivue. “eventIS products are popular throughout
Europe and our cooperation on this solution further extends our market opportunities.”
Verivue's MDX Media Distribution Switch systems provide lower operational costs than legacy VOD servers, while delivering more streams, more storage and greater control over all video applications and services. eventIS cSDP is a rich, flexible and scalable EPG / VoD platform, that manages workflows for VoD and EPG services, user profile management, and service discovery and selection.
