Imagine Mobile Transcoding Solutions
MOBILE-OPTIMIZED PERSONALIZEDTV®
Consumer demand for high-quality video streamed directly to their mobile devices anytime and anywhere is ushering in an era of PersonalizedTV® and driving operators to provide new services for mobile content consumption. The challenge for operators looking to play in this new arena is to figure out how to offer new mobile-optimized services of the same consistent high quality as their existing offerings, and how to integrate those services seamlessly into their existing video processing architecture.
The ability to immediately react to changes or congestion in network bandwidth is crucial for maintaining high video quality when distributing mobile video over an IP-based network. Imagine’s ICE Streaming System delivers the highest quality of experience available for mobile users while giving operators unprecedented amounts of scalability, flexibility and reliability when providing advanced video services for current and next-generation consumer devices.
