Cablemas to Stream Avail-TVN VOD

Mexican cable operator Cablemas will transition its VOD service to Avail-TVN, which will provide its own library and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) adaptive bitrate (ABR) service. Under the terms of the agreement, Avail-TVN will deliver VOD content to set-top boxes in more than 250,000 homes, and to other connected devices including PCs, tablets and smartphones, in the future. Avail-TVN's partners in the solution are Conax for content security; Cubiware for middleware; and Evolution Digital for hybrid IP set-top boxes.
