Avail Media launches MPEG4 HD service for video providers
June 23, 2008 - US firm Avail Media has launched a lineup of MPEG4 high-definition content aimed at telcos and cable operators wishing to rapidly offer HD video content to their subscribers.
The lineup offers 56 high-definition channels, including ABC Family HD, Disney CHannel HD, ESPN HD, Universal HD, National Geographic HD, a suite of HBO HD channels, Cinemax HD channels, NFL Network HD, Animal Planet HD and Discovery HD.
“HD programming is becoming the new must-have for providers of television services,” said Ramu Potarazu, CEO of Avail Media. “Avail Media is about providing a stable platform from which we can continually grow new, value-added services for our affiliates. We recognise today that HD content is critical for our affiliates. For cable systems that need HD programming but lack bandwidth, telephone networks with limited, last-mile capabilities, or fiber-to-the-home providers in search of quality HD offerings, Avail Media’s HD solutions provide cost-effective and subscriber-ready solutions.”
Service providers already using Avail Media’s end-to-end solutions to deliver IPTV services to subscribers operate in a variety of markets across the United States, including Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, North Carolina and Illinois, as well as in the Caribbean markets of Guam and Trinidad, among others.
