New VOD Technology
Video-on-demand startup Verivue — whose investors include Comcast and Arris — wants to feed Americans’ apparently insatiable appetite to watch TV everywhere.
The company this week is planning to launch a “network-centric” system it is claiming will be a far more efficient and scalable VOD (video on demand) platform than other on-demand servers in the market. Verivue also is touting the Media Distribution Switch (MDX) 9200 as the very first video-delivery system designed from the ground up to deliver content anywhere, including on the Internet, on any device.
As with other new technologies, the Suddenlink team will diligently monitor and evaluate these opportunities to determine how and when they might benefit our customers.
