Vecima intros legacy QAM VOD platform for small broadband operators
Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) has this month introduced a new MediaScale video platform tailored to simplify maintaining QAM video on demand (VOD).
Platform integrations with third-party QAM VOD back-office solutions, including CommScope ConvergeMedia Manager and SeaChange Adrenaline, facilitate "straightforward replacement of aging library and streaming infrastructure that often leverage spinning disks nearing the end of their design life," as reckoned by a press release.
Vecima notes its MediaScale unified streaming video platform optimizes quality of experience and efficient delivery of Live Linear, nDVR, and Time-shifted TV, and VoD services. The MediaScale platform can expand capacity while servicing a diverse client device ecosystem, including IP-enabled set-top boxes, smartphones, tablets, and other streaming devices.
Vecima says the new platform extension uses its compact MediaScale Origin and Storage implementations, which can easily be repurposed or augmented to support IPTV and Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SVTA)-compliant caching for third-party over-the-top content, providing operators with a value proposition beyond sustaining the legacy QAM VOD ecosystem.
Kyle Goodwin, SVP of Vecima’s Content Delivery & Storage business unit, explained:
“Vecima’s MediaScale solution enables operators to refresh old infrastructure, expand libraries, and continue to leverage investment in the existing back office. It’s an affordable, easy to deploy QAM VOD solution that can bridge operators’ path to IPTV and Open Caching when they are ready.”
