Imagine Every Screen Transcoding and Streaming Solutions
LEADING THE WAY TO “TV ANYWHERE”
Though still in the relatively early stages, the “TV Anywhere” revolution is firmly entrenched in the mindset of video subscribers and consumers who are demanding more access to more content titles from more locations on more devices. Consumers have embraced the Internet and IP networks as viable distribution methods for this new wave of services but are expecting broadcast-quality video to be delivered to the desktop, laptop, smartphone, Set-top box, gaming console and Connected TV.
