Envivio integrated triple play solutions optimize network bandwidth while providing enhanced digital television services. Broadcast quality SD and HD video is delivered to the subscriber via interactive MPEG-4 streams providing dynamic and scalable services. The solutions give service operators the freedom and control to offer creative new subscriber options how and when they need them. Brand name recognition and customer loyalty are gained with each and every "must have" new service offered.
Triple play solutions feature an AVC/H.264 residential set-top box with a MPEG-4 Part 11 (also known as Binary Format for Scenes) player and an integrated voice over IP telephone client portal. Video is transported using Envivio broadcast encoders. Video services are managed using an Envivio application server and client portal.
Combining Voice Video and Data with an Open Standards Approach
Since Envivio products and solutions are open standards-based, operators can select from the complete line of Envivio products or mix and match systems from other open standards-based vendors to deliver IPTV services.
Envivio partners with manufacturers of:
- Set top boxes,
- VOD servers,
- Billing and rating systems,
- Network management systems,
- Security Systems and
- Voice over IP services.
Interactive and Personalized End User Experience
Digital television services must offer a level of convenience, control and ease of use that keeps subscribers coming back for more. For example, once a subscriber has used an EPG, they don't want it taken away. Envivio triple play solutions offer the following "must have" and new services including:
- video-on-demand,
- PVR / NPVR,
- parental access,
- language selection,
- electronic wallet, and
- integrated telephony and messaging.
Flexible and Efficient Service Creation
Providers responding to changing market dynamics must be able to create service packages and economic models quickly and efficiently. Envivio MPEG-4 authoring tools support the creation of new services which can be branded with personalization, graphics, 2D effects and a sleek interface. Using push technology, new and modified services can be propagated rapidly throughout the network allowing service providers to reap immediate financial benefits.
Efficient and Cost Effective Operations
MPEG-4 compression and the multicast distribution of data optimize network bandwidth usage. Cost savings can also be gained via the ability to remotely manage all systems within the IPTV network. Integrated redundancy management based on ILC MaxView ensures high quality of service and fault resistance.
