Conway Corp to Launch Multi-Viewing, nDVR, Live IP, Start-Over
and Catch-Up TV with Vecima's MediaScaleX™ Platform
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana,
Sept. 30, 2019 /CNW/ - Vecima
Networks Inc. (TSX:VCM) announced today that Conway Corporation, a
North American cable provider, has selected Vecima's
MediaScaleX™ solution to power its new IPTV multiscreen
service. Moving from QAM to IP delivery systems, Conway Corp will
be able to introduce new services to subscribers on any screen,
without disruption. Vecima's highly flexible and scalable software
solutions integrated with a wide range of systems ensure a
quick-to-market roll out.
"The transition from QAM to IP will be a critical step in the
evolution of our video delivery network and it was important to
find a partner that could not only guide us through this
transition, but also provide a high level of technical
expertise. Additionally, we were focused on a wide range of
functionalities, including multi-screen experiences, time-shift TV
capabilities, nDVR, 4k content, and
transcoding, which all have to scale and seamlessly integrate with
our Next Generation user interface, powered by Enghouse Networks,"
said Conway Corp Chief Technology Officer, Jason Hansen. "After an exhaustive RFP process,
it was clear that Vecima was the company that was going to
deliver."
By selecting the complete end-to-end MediaScaleX solution,
Conway Corp is able to leverage functionality only available in
Vecima's integrated platform. Hyperconverged architectures enable
MediaScaleX // Origin™ to process on MediaScaleX // Storage™ nodes
for a smaller footprint, while automated in-service upgrades and
configuration management reduce service costs. Support of Conway
Corp's Next Generation Video platform, utilizing an analytics
platform, is a vital component of the solution. MediaScaleX
// IQ™ will monitor streams and server status using real-time data
and graphs, easily administer CDN servers and configurations, offer
session-based metrics to identify risks, and take proactive
corrective actions that will benefit the consumer experience. The
MediaScaleX // Transcode™ platform can be configured for any
bitrate, resolution, aspect ratio, or frame rate, with single-step
channel publish functionality to MediaScaleX // Origin.
"Our solutions are designed for future scale, and we're excited
to work with Conway Corp on migrating their existing systems to new
streaming formats," said Clay
McCreery, Chief Revenue Officer at Vecima. "We're proud to
support their commitment to providing customers the latest,
best-in-class video streaming experience."
Vecima will showcase their end-to-end solutions portfolio at
SCTE•ISBE Cable-Tec Expo® 2019, Booth 1529, in New Orleans, Louisiana this week. To schedule
