BUDAPEST -- Entone Technologies, a leading provider of personal video content delivery solutions, today announced that it will have live demonstrations of its open system VOD solutions in stand number 38 at ECCA 05, Budapest, March 21-23. Entone’s live ECCA demonstration is based upon the Entone StreamLiner Network Video Recorder (NVR) robust software architecture and the Encoding Studio content ingest and distribution workflow running on both HP and IBM servers, the cable industry’s most popular video server hardware platforms.

“We are experiencing a massively heightened interest in our open standards-based VOD solutions and strongly believe that 2005 is the year that VOD will really take-off, as cable operators deploy VOD as a key service differentiator and revenue generator,” said Mark Rooney, EMEA Director of Entone Technologies.

“As our ECCA demonstration proves, one of our major strengths is that our open systems approach means that our customers can choose cost-efficient ‘Commercial Off The Shelf’ (COTS) server technology while still providing industry leading performance metrics for cost per stream, throughput and a scalable architecture. This means that we can uniquely provide powerful and cost effective VOD systems for all operators, whatever their size and business models. In addition, because we are highly scalable, our system can expand as an operator becomes increasingly successful,” concluded Rooney.

The systems demonstrated at ECCA are based on the Entone StreamLiner NVR and the Entone Encoding Studio. Entone StreamLiner NVR provides the industry’s most flexible and cost-effective solution for delivering personalized TV services. StreamLiner NVR is a software architecture that turns COTS hardware into specialized, high performance video servers that deliver VOD (Video on Demand), NVOD (Near VOD) and Network Personal Video Recording (nPVR) services. StreamLiner’s high performance solution delivers the industry’s highest stream density and provides extreme deployment flexibility, high scalability and superior economics.
