Following its acquisition and integration of Fabrix Systems, Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has launched a cloud DVR solution intended for all QAM and IP-based video platforms. It is powered by the Ericsson Video Storage and Processing Platform, a software-based infrastructure, and will be showcased at the NAB Show in Las Vegas.

The new platform is designed to augment and replace legacy TV services with cloud-based services by integrating and virtualizing the storage and processing capabilities of as many commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) servers as needed.

Other Video Storage and Processing Platform features include a master video library, long tail server, dynamic origin server, CDN assist and enhanced VOD.

Ericsson also announced the U.S. launch of a closed captioning service intended to display text on a TV set, video screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information. The company plans to establish a broadcast and media services hub in Atlanta to provide closed captioning and video description services to both domestic and international clients starting in April.
