At IBC, Imagine Communications (formerly Harris Broadcast) launched the word’s
first complete, end-to-end solution for OTT and IPTV content delivery.
Incorporating several of the company’s existing products, TV Everywhere is offered
as the ultimate tool for multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), from
ingest to advanced advertised, subscriber billing and multiscreen content delivery
networks.
MVPDs, in particular communications service providers, are under severe pressure
to provide video content to the multiscreen world, and often must acquire
technologies from many vendors to establish a complete TV everywhere offering.
Because of its broad, end-to-end TV everywhere portfolio, Imagine Communications
is able to offer a highly dense, scalable and operationally efficient solution to
quickly deliver optimised experiences across multiscreen environments. The
solution integrates the company’s SelenioNext™ Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR)
transcoding, SelenioEdge™ Media Content Delivery Network (CDN), packaging,
encryption, hyper-personal advertising, subscriber billing, ingest, automation and
storage. To integrate all components of the TV Everywhere solution together, the
company’s next generation Zenium™ workflow manager provides an advanced,
underlying, software-based media asset management tool that stitches workflow
processes together and provides the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
