[November 21, 2009] Bouygues Telecom Utilizes Envivio Encoder Tweet Nov 20, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Envivio Inc. announced that its 4Caster C4 video encoder is being used by Bouygues Telecom, a mobile network operator in France, to encode video for its TV 3G+ mobile video service. According to a release, the Bouygues Telecom video headend is hosted by Cognacq-Jay Image, the content management and delivery subsidiary of TDF. When launching the new service in November 2008, Bouygues Telecom and Cognacq-Jay Image elected to replace their legacy software encoders with the 4Caster C4 hardware encoder configured for Mobile TV. The company said the multi-profile 4Caster C4 enables the TV 3G+ service to be optimized for the 176 different handsets currently in use by Bouygues Telecom subscribers. This includes a QVGA resolution, 3.5G HSDPA profile to deliver video quality for subscribers with high end devices. "4Caster C4 from Envivio has helped us by delivering the reliability and performance needed to provide a good quality of experience for the end user, as well as flexibility that is enabling our company to follow the fast-moving mobile market," said Thibaut Keraval, in charge of Mobile Services Solutions in Bouygues Telecom. "Upgrading the existing infrastructure to an up-to-date Envivio platform was an important decision in the development of TV 3G+," said David Karoutchi, Business Development Manager - Mobile & Broadband, Cognacq-Jay Image. "The 4Caster C4 provides a high-reliability, high-performance foundation that offers the superior service levels we were looking for in order to ensure the best experience for subscribers."
