MobiTV, Ericsson sign up as Elemental hails dawn of software-defined video

Elemental Technologies has kicked off NAB 2014 with a series of deals that it says highlights an industry shift to software-defined video processing.

As part of this transition Elemental has announced that MobiTV is using Elemental video processing solutions to support its cloud-based video delivery platform and Ericsson has integrated Elemental technology within its Virtualised Encoding Solution.

Fundamentally the company believes that software-defined video (SDV) solutions take an infrastructure-agnostic approach to implementing flexible, scalable and easily upgradable video architectures. This, it adds, when compared with legacy solutions, allows video providers to deploy software across an optimal combination of dedicated and virtualised resources in both private and public data centres.

For its part, MobiTV, a deliverer of live and on-demand TV everywhere solutions, is using Elemental Live and Elemental Server to deliver more than 40 HD television channels – including live news and sports and a variety of full-episode on-demand shows – for streaming or download to hundreds of devices through multiple pay-TV, wireless and OTT partners.
