At GLOBALCOMM2006, in its booth #47091, Envivio, the first company to have offered Quad Play ready IP video systems, is showcasing its MPEG-4 IP video systems working on a Sigma Designs based H.264 consumer set-top box.
The Envivio systems enable service providers to deliver quarter common intermediate format (QCIF), common intermediate format (CIF), standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) IP video and video on demand (VOD) to all devices – from a mobile video phone, to a PC, and to SD and HD television sets – within a complete MPEG-4 environment and at the lowest bandwidth available on the market today. The demonstrated Video over IP systems can interface with any OSS billing and open standards-based VoIP systems, making them an ideal solution for offering Quad Play where bandwidth is limited and operators wish to provide the latest in competitive services to their subscribers.
The demonstrated solution highlights QCIF, CIF, SD, and HD IP video encoded by the Envivio 4Caster M2, B3 and HD3 systems for outstanding video quality at the lowest possible bit rates. The solution demonstrated includes a consumer MPEG-4 set-top box with an EPG driven by the Envivio MPEG-4 Part 11 based technology as well as VOD and other innovative features such as VOIP integration.
Since the Envivio systems are based on open standards, service providers can select from the complete line of Envivio systems or mix and match systems from other open standards-based vendors as they enhance their networks to offer IP video services.
From the IP video headend to the set-top box, the Quad Play ready IP video systems from Envivio enable service providers to offer enhanced television services and to increase their average revenue per user (ARPU).
