Cloud-based video distribution platform targeted at mobile, tablets, TV and other consumer electronics devices.
The big idea is that the system integrates with existing TV infrastructure and back-end systems, so broadcasters looking to extend their content to other platforms can do so – at reduced time and cost.
Additionally, the service will be supported 24x7 by the team in the MobiTV network operations centre.
The solution includes:
· Support for over 375 different types of mobile devices and OSs
· Ingestion and encoding of live and DRM-protected VOD content
· Policy management to tailor delivery and access to varying content rights
· Unified channel guide with remote DVR control
· Customisable branded multi-platform user experience
· Single sign-on authentication support
"TV service providers need a cost-effective solution to meet consumer demand for seamless authenticated access to content anytime, anywhere and on any device," said MobiTV president Paul Scanlan.

"MobiTV built its technology with a focus on delivering live television optimised for mobile devices.
"By pre-packaging all the necessary components – content ingestion, technology platform, device integration and DRM support – we've taken what's typically a very complex and expensive project for a TV operator and made it simple, affordable, and easy to launch."
MobiTV has been around since 1999 as a provider of live and on-demand TV delivered over the mobile network. It didn't get going until around 2007 when operators first began to adopt its tech to deliver live TV over 3G networks.
The firm now claims around 10m subscribers to its services in the US alone, and $100m in annual revenue.
