Evolution Digital today announced that it reached a deal with the National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC) to distribute its eVUE-TV™ IP Video on Demand service to NCTC member operators. Evolution Digital’s eVUE-TV delivers thousands of hours of top-rated movies and the most popular on-demand TV shows, while leveraging IP video technologies to lower costs for the operator. eVUE-TV aggregates IP linear and VOD across a single interface, and future integrations to the platform include cloud-based services. The eVUE-TV platform will first be introduced as an option for NCTC’s members on the newly developed VU-IT! platform, which includes a solution for efficient back office integration, OTT applications and enhanced services to enable IP linear and IP VOD. The service will initially be available on TiVo software-enabled devices, but can also be deployed on other platforms, as well as mobile devices. VOD content is uploaded from the cable operator’s local VOD sources and transcoded, thus allowing an exact replication of its VOD catalog in IP. (more…)
