Evolution Digital announced the expanded deployment of its eVUE-TV IP video platform with additional pay TV operators. Newly announced operators deploying eVUE-TV include Cablevision of Marion County, BELD, DTC, LHTC Broadband, Tullahoma Utilities Board, Valley Telecom Group and Gold Coast Broadband.
The addition of the seven operators brings the total to 23 cable operators and telcos using eVUE-TV. In June, the platform deployed with GCI (NASDAQ:GNCMA) in Alaska, the 15th operator to sign up for eVUE-TV. Last July, Evolution made the platform available to NCTC members and expanded that relationship in April.
"We are excited to announce the acceleration of eVUE-TV into the marketplace as we begin to expand our footprint to consumers, and we are honored that pay TV operators have chosen us as a trusted partner to transition to IP video," said Marc Cohen, executive vice president of sales at Evolution. "As we grow our customer base, we continue to gather operator and consumer feedback and use that data to improve and enhance the platform and user experience."
eVUE-TV is designed to enable operators to deliver live IP linear, pay-per-view and network DVR services in addition to IP video on demand (VOD).
Recent software upgrades to the platform are intended to improve system management, trick play and content filtering based on feedback from operators. eVUE-TV now features trick play, as well as improved filtering for adult content. Other software upgrades include universal search using the customer-facing TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO) guide and improved report generation tools and operator accessible database queries for custom report generation.
eVUE-TV is available on the company's eBOX IP Hybrid Set-Set Box and other third-party hardware.
