The agreement calls for joint services to be offered to mutual customers and partners who deliver next-generation IPTV and OTT solution offerings. The race to bring an expanded lineup of video broadcast programming to users over a variety of mobile devices and IP-based networks is heating up, and the driving distinction for television, broadcast, and service providers is the diversity and breadth of their channel lineup and content offerings. IPTV providers and Content Services Providers must break out of their pre-programmed, structured lineups to enable custom menu choices made available to any deivce over any IP network.
Vivicast offers one of the industry's leading lineups of programming and content from sources around the globe, with an approach that enables providers to build custom packages and complimentary programming to be delivered Over-The-Top (OTT) to end users anywhere over any network. Now that invaluable video content will be treated by CodecSys™ from Broadcast International and delivered at dramatically lower bitrates with much higher quality. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed but the solution is immediately available and under evaluation by several joint customers and prospects.
