April 14, 2006
South San Francisco, CA -- At NAB2006 in its booth #SL4403, Envivio
Inc. will debut the world's first IPTV Triple Play solution
featuring MPEG-4 middleware on a Sigma Designs based H.264 consumer
set-top box. The Envivio® IPTV Triple Play solution presents an
innovative method for service providers to deliver standard
definition (SD) and high definition (HD) IP video, video on demand
(VOD) and middleware with an electronic program guide (EPG) all
within a complete MPEG-4 environment. The solution interfaces with
any OSS billing and open standards-based VoIP systems and is ideal
for offering IPTV Triple Play where bandwidth is limited and
operators wish to offer the latest in competitive services to their
subscribers.
In the demonstrated solution, SD and HD IP video is encoded by
Envivio 4Caster™ B3 and HD3 systems for outstanding video quality at
the lowest possible bit rates. Content for VOD services is delivered
via the Envivio 4Sight™ streaming server. The Envivio EPG is created
using the interactive components defined in MPEG-4. This provides
scalability and entirely new features for enhancing the subscriber's
experience including PVR, an integrated telephony portal and trick
play. IP video content and the EPG are delivered to the consumer
set-top box as MPEG-4 streams and managed by the Envivio 4Front™
middleware server. Through its innovative architecture, 4Front is
the first middleware to support MPEG-4 Part 11 for the delivery of
synchronized applications and messages to enable advanced services
such as SMS texting, betting and voting.

from the complete line of Envivio products or mix and match systems
from other open standards-based vendors as they enhance their
networks to offer IPTV services. From the Envivio IPTV headend to
the set-top box, the complete MPEG-4 Triple Play solution enables
service providers to offer enhanced television services and to
increase their average revenue per user (ARPU).
