San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2007 -- Entone, Inc., the innovator of IPTV home connectivity solutions, today announced that its award-winning Hydra? IP video gateway is deployed with Minerva's iTVManager? middleware platform. This fully integrated solution offers service operators a more efficient and cost-effective IPTV solution that can be quickly and easily deployed to enable advanced IPTV services, such as MPEG-4 (H.264/AVC), digital video recorder (DVR), pay-per-view (PPV) and video on demand (VOD).
Entone's Hydra IP video gateway enables service operators to distribute video signals throughout the home without the costs or installation complexities of putting a set-top box in every room or rewiring the home. Hydra dramatically improves the business case for IPTV services by reducing the CAPEX and OPEX associated with IP video deployment.
"When it comes to the rapid acceleration of IPTV, partnering with a world-class company like Minerva solidifies our presence in the market," states Ian Jefferson, Entone's Vice President of Business Development. "Together with Minerva, we are able to dramatically reduce the installation costs of IPTV services as compared to single set-top boxes, the net result is higher profits for the operators."
"IPTV operators are anxious to deploy HD/H.264 to compete against cable and satellite services. Entone's Hydra solution is unique in the market by eliminating the need for multiple set-top boxes and reducing installation costs for operators," said Matt Cuson, Minerva Networks' Vice President of Marketing. "Entone's Hydra and Minerva's open and scalable iTVManager middleware platform will help operators accelerate time to market, lower deployment risks, offer competitive core TV services and build compelling next-generation interactive TV applications."
Hydra is the only IP video gateway commercially deployed in the market today that can deliver up to three independent video streams, with any combination of SD/HD, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 (H.264/AVC) signals, over a single DSL or Ethernet connection using existing in-home coax cabling. It supports both SD (480i/480p) and HD (720p/1080i/1080p) signals, as well as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (H.264/AVC) and VC-1 compression formats. Entone's Hydra is also integrated with content encryption solutions from Verimatrix and Widevine.
