Indosolution Mobile Video Solutions - Partnering with Envivio. Envivio is the world's leading supplier of professional grade video compression systems for both broadcast and streaming mobile TV services. Our Mobile Series encoders power hundreds of commercial mobile TV deployments all around the world. Five years of experience in this new and exciting market has shown us that it is the mobile TV operators who dedicate themselves to delivering the highest possible Quality of Experience (QOE) to their subscribers who enjoy most success. With the commercial success of our customers as our primary objective, Envivio's mobile TV encoding solution has been designed to provide the best possible service quality for the end user. We have achieved this by focusing on the following key objectives.
Video Quality: Envivio has an in-house team of compression and mobile networking experts who develop the encoding and transport engines for all of our encoder products. Our Mobile Series encoders have been optimized to provide the most efficient IP transport and the highest quality video at the low resolutions and frame rates required for mobile TV. We support a full range of video and audio codecs to ensure that we deliver the highest possible quality on any mobile device and a wide range of transport protocols addressing the requirements of both Mobile Broadcast and Mobile Streaming.
Service Reliability: Part of the process of delivering a high Quality of Experience for mobile TV users is to ensure that the service is always available. This is not always the case with many of today's deployments which use encoders based on unstable PC platforms and which have no system monitoring or automated redundancy. As part of its mobile TV headend solution Envivio provides automated M:N redundancy switch over using its 4Manager video headend management More and more operators who had deployed software based encoding solutions are moving over to a more reliable, professional grade mobile TV delivery platform from Envivio.
System Interoperability: Over the last five years Envivio has developed partnerships with all of the major system component suppliers in the mobile TV ecosystem. These components include: streaming servers; IP encapsulators; electronic service guides; DRM and CA systems as well as mobile handsets. Our comprehensive interoperability testing, and the fact that we have actual deployments with most of these partners, means that all of the interoperability issues have already been resolved for Envivio's Mobile Series encoder products. This means fast, risk free deployments whatever the mobile TV standard might be.
Handset Playback: A key factor in guaranteeing that a mobile TV service has strong uptake is to ensure that the transmitted streams can be decoded reliably on a wide range of handsets. Envivio has strong, longstanding ties with software and hardware handset player suppliers as well as the handset manufacturers themselves, ensuring that our streams work with the vast majority of media enabled handsets on the market. Our encoders are used by many companies as a reference with which to check compliance with mobile TV encoding standards.
