IBC — On-demand TV software and solutions provider, Ottawa-based Espial, is getting ready to roll out MediaBase 10.0 this fall. The latest version of the company’s on-demand video platform provides servers for streaming, capturing and distributing adaptvie bit-rate (ABR) content.
Espial says service providers will be able to provide a full range of pay-TV services that include Live TV, network personal video recording (PVR), video on demand and time-shift TV, to a multitude of devices. Operators, the company says, can begin planning for TV Everywhere 2.0 services to smart TVs, smartphones, PCs and tablets.
“Service providers are looking to drive the next wave in the TV Everywhere experience across all consumer devices. Such a service offering needs to extend beyond just video on demand and include all subscription services including Live TV, Network PVR, and TimeShift TV services," noted Jaison Dolvane, CEO, Espial. “As content rights issues, technology and competition evolve, Espial MediaBase is a powerful on-demand video platform for TV Everywhere 2.0 services in and out of the home. Further, Espial MediaBase Unified Servers deliver significant cost savings by enabling a single hardware and storage platform to serve many devices over managed networks and the Internet."
