[Satellite TODAY 10-19-10] Envivio is set to unveil a multi-screen video processing solution, which aims to provide a three-screen video headend to three of the five largest cable MSOs in the United States, the company announced Oct. 18.
    The solution will be based on Envivo’s existing 4Caster C4 encoding and transcoding multi-screen platform, which allows cable companies to convert content for IP-based video deliverys to mobile, PC and TV screens from a single integrated platform.
    Envivo’s solution capabilities include: Envivio Extreme H.264 compression for delivering high-quality HD video below 4 Mbps; a network-based on-demand solution to turn any content recorded by a subscriber into assets for subsequent delivery to the subscriber’s mobile and PC screens; and an offline file-to-file workflow that will incorporate a comprehensive feature set for traditional video-on-demand content preparation.
    “As [cable companies] look beyond the set-top box, they are exploring uncharted territory in terms of both services offered and technology needed. Envivio is in the best position to help, combining proven high quality, high efficiency video compression and delivery technology with unmatched global experience in deploying multi-screen services,” Envivo Vice President of Solutions Arnaud Perrier said in a statement.
