Cisco is using CES this week to introduce the third member of its Infinite Solutions suite: Infinite Broadcast. This is a multiscreen video solution for one-way and hybrid satellite and cable operators. The company has also revealed a customer for the solution – the Turkish satellite and Internet video provider D-Smart, which is using Cisco Infinite Broadcast to transform its D-Smart Blu multiscreen service.
“We needed a cloud solution that could support our need to quickly expand services across multiple screens,†explains ErdoÄŸan ÅžimÅŸek CTO at D-Smart. “We also needed a new user guide that could blend multiple sources of content. Cisco offered us a flexible cloud software solution to easily merge the worlds of online video and live broadcast TV.â€
According to Yves Padrines, Vice President, Global Service Provider EMEAR at Cisco, “Infinite solutions help customers like D-Smart benefit from a system that allows them quick service introduction, with frequent updates that can be delivered in minutes versus months.â€
In September Cisco announced the first two Infinite suite products that support the delivery of full-featured TV, namely Infinite Home (a multiscreen video solution for two-way telcos and cable operators) and Infinite Video (an OTT solution for content and service providers). Infinite Video now supports delivery of content to a broader range of devices, including Roku boxes, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, and multiple companion and second screen devices, the company reported from CES this week.
