Foxtel purchased StreamZ Live adaptive streaming encoders and a Broadcast Manager multi-encoder management system from Digital Rapids to power its new Go App. The Digital Rapids encoders and management software are being used to provide IP streams for various streaming devices and were used to provide IP streams for Foxtel’s London 2012 Olympic Games App.

      “Foxtel Go is an exciting new way for our customers to watch our premium TV shows, series and sport on the go, and it was imperative the service be built on a technical foundation that delivers the superior quality and reliability that our customers demand,” Foxtel Executive Director of Products Jim Rudder said in a statement. “Digital Rapids solutions met our stringent criteria, and their outstanding support is also a critical factor to our success.”
