TUŠ TELEKOM
Slovenian service provider TUŠ TELEKOM selected Envivio MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) encoders to expand its IPTV service to 108 channels of SD and 6 channels of HD content.
"While Envivio was one of several vendors that showed us high quality video encoding products, the software based compression architecture of their C4 offered a unique level of flexibility. It was the only encoder we saw that included significant video compression enhancements on the product development roadmap, enhancements that would allow us to improve the encoding performance in the future without requiring expensive and disruptive hardware changes," said Andras Pali, CTO of TUŠ TELEKOM. "The all-IP architecture of the headend is also very appealing. Routing and switching the video signals in IP is very efficient, cost effective and fits perfectly in to our operational environment."

RingNett
Norwegian ISP RingNett selected Envivio’s 4Caster C4 multi-channel, multi-profile encoder to extend its fiber based IPTV service to its xDSL subscribers.
"We concluded that the MPEG-2 stream processing we were using for our fiber delivery could not offer the quality of service our customers have come to expect from us at the bandwidths we needed to make ADSL2+ delivery feasible. MPEG-4 AVC transcoding was the obvious choice, and after reviewing similar solutions from several other vendors we selected Envivio, based on their track record, very impressive support team and diligent account management," said Eirik Lund, CEO of RingNett AS.
