Waoo! Uses RGB for OTT

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- RGB Networks, the leading provider of scalable multiscreen IP video delivery solutions, today announced that Waoo!, a Danish broadband provider delivering fibre-based network services to nearly 200,000 households, has selected and deployed RGB’s Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG) and TransAct Packager, to provide a complete transcoding and packaging solution for its new over-the-top (OTT) video service.

Waoo!’s June 2011 launch of its OTT capabilities, the organisation’s first web TV service, further establishes the operator’s leading position in the Danish TV service market. Waoo! is utilising RGB’s award-winning VMG and TransAct Packager to roll out 36 channels streaming Microsoft Smooth Streaming adaptive format to PC-based consumers, adding to its existing TV service of 190 TV channels, with plans to extend the service to 50 channels with four adaptive profiles for each channel. Selected for its scalability, as well as its high-capacity, redundant carrier-class architecture, the VMG will give Waoo!’s OTT video service high availability, as well as provide Waoo! with a future-proof solution enabling flexible, open-ended growth.

Working alongside the VMG, RGB’s TransAct Packager delivers advanced adaptive streaming capabilities, providing Waoo!’s customers with seamless video delivery by enabling the segmentation of video into chunks that are reliably delivered using HTTP.
