BigBand Networks introduced an enhanced IP
video delivery solution that supports on-demand programming and back-office
connectivity, in addition to linear TV.
Featuring BigBand’s vIP PASS integrated with Clearleap’s Stream On Demand
system, the new solution allows operators to stream entire libraries of managed
linear and on-demand video content to IP-connected televisions or devices. This
enables operators to bundle and monetize more content to more devices, with
more efficient use of bandwidth.
The joint solution takes the bandwidth load
off the cable modem termination system (CMTS), making it the most efficient
path for delivering video-on-demand (VOD) programming or linear TV to
IP-connected devices, while also handling back-office operations such as
validation, billing, transactions and management of the content catalog.
In the process, operators can realize added
revenue or reduce churn by offering multi-screen services to the growing array
of unmanaged consumer devices such as gaming consoles, iPads, Blue-Ray, mobile
devices, PCs and more. The solution addresses operators’ immediate need to
support consumers’ growing demand for multi-screen video delivery and allows
operators to better compete with over-the-top (OTT) services.
With Clearleap,
we have expanded our IP video delivery solution to support on demand services,
truly giving the operator the ability to deliver more content anywhere at
anytime. We believe that the combined Stream On Demand and vIP PASS solution
delivers the operational ease and seamless integration that our customers are
seeking. This can accelerate the time-to-market with new services and open up a
large and growing market opportunity,” said Jay Chambers, vice president and
chief architect at BigBand Networks.
With BigBand,
we are helping TV operators expand high-speed data networks to include
limitless volumes of content; without the costs, hassles and time-delays of
restructuring. Operators that already utilize Stream On Demand can easily
integrate vIP PASS, and vice versa,” said John Carlucci, chief technical
officer at Clearleap.
