Nov 16, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Broadcast International, Inc. announced that its CodecSys solution has passed conformance testing with Microsoft Mediaroom.
Microsoft Mediaroom is an IPTV platform and has been adopted by service providers in a number of countries, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, the United States, Macedonia, Canada, India, Russia and the Dominican Republic.
Microsoft Mediaroom powers broadcast-quality television and video services over IP networks. The platform includes TV features such as on-demand and live TV, video recording and time shifting, an interactive program guide with integrated search and scheduled recording.
"Globally more and more people are turning to the Internet for on-demand and live video, placing a higher demand on the Internet and causing a shortage of bandwidth," said Rod Tiede, president and CEO of Broadcast International. "CodecSys alleviates the bandwidth burden at amazing rates and we're eager to work with Microsoft Mediaroom to be able to provide a solution to meet the growing need of consumers wanting to watch TV over the Internet."
"The Microsoft Mediaroom interoperability qualification process is designed to give our service provider customers a choice of carrier-grade encoding platforms fully compatible with Microsoft Mediaroom," said Dan McCrary, director of businesses development for the TV, Video & Music Business at Microsoft. "The commitment of vendors like Broadcast International adds to the thriving partner ecosystem supporting new and existing Mediaroom deployments."
CodecSys is a platform-independent software framework that optimizes video assets through a suite of intelligent video management services, which include encoding, decoding, transcoding, compression and other optimization services for both live broadcasting and file-based applications.
