Encore for Operators

Falling behind when it comes to IPTV service?  Want an edge over your competitors? Think beyond the basic PVR.  Your subscribers are.  

Today’s subscribers want more than just the ability to record their favourite programs.  Encore Interactive has what you need:

• whole home PVR;
• whole home pause live TV;
• media sharing;
• picture viewing; and
• remote PVR control. 

These are features that will differentiate your service.

Sold as a managed service by telecommunications providers, such as yourself, Encore Interactive products allow new media applications to be added seamlessly through the existing IPTV platforms.  No set-top box or middleware changes are required!

With a stand-alone device that connects to an existing customer home network, subscribers can manage and consume their content at home, on personal computers inside or outside the home and also on mobile devices.

The low OPEX installation model means the EMG is delivered directly to their doorstep - no installer is needed!  After a few simple steps to activate their service, subscribers will be connected to the freedom to enjoy their enriched service. 

Some of the benefits to service providers include:

• low  OPEX solution built to encourage self-install with no truck roll;
• tight integration using extensible SOAP-based OSS/BSS interfaces;
• Adobe Flex administration interface allows ease of integration with existing IPTV helpdesk;
• integration layering providing tight coupling of service with existing deployed IPTV solution;
• low CAPEX solution allowing deployment of low cost, single-tuner IPTV set-top boxes or longer depreciation cycles for existing deployed devices;
• open interfaces on the Encore Media Framework allow for future services to run on a common low-cost, in-home hardware platform;
• customizable and internationalized user interface allows powerful control over service branding;
• service architecture can be as simple as a single server but can grow to become fully distributed and highly-available;
• optional home gateway support allows a common device in the home to provide gateway and PVR functions; and
• optional HPNA v3.1 interface support.

The Encore Media Gateway can also help you deal with limited bandwidth into the home.
