TeleCable launches its Over-The-Top (OTT) services with CodecSys technology

The Mexican cable operator of the Hevi group has selected Broadcast International's CodecSys technology as a video management platform in its new Over-The-Top (OTT) services.

TeleCable has launched a suite of live services and file-based programs for streaming over the Internet with support for multiple screens and mobile devices. Initially, the offer will include local channels and content.

The CodecSys platform Broadcast International will carry out the streaming of multiple profiles for multiple devices, allowing TeleCable to create dynamic packages for consumers according to content and devices.

TeleCable has selected CodecSys technology for its high video quality in different band ratios at an advantageous price.

Building an OTT offering requires flexible and dynamic configuration and deployment. CodecSys, being a software-based platform, meets these requirements. Platforms based solely on hardware, for their part, present more difficulties in adapting to these new OTT models.

Luis Vielma Ordoñez, director of operations at TeleCable, stated that "we are committed to providing our clients with the highest value in content. Many of them want to access free programming services over the Internet. Several alternatives were studied and it was found that CodecSys was unique, both in the design of its product architecture, software platform and its performance capacity. It truly delivers the highest video quality that we have experienced at these bitrates. CodecSys is flexible and open, which will allow us to secure the future of our encoding and transcoding services.”

For his part, Rod Tiede, CEO of Broadcast International, added that "TeleCable is at the forefront of the OTT programming revolution, and very advanced in its technological leadership. This new offering will lead the market and we are honored to be part of it. A flexible solution, based on a software platform, is our distinguishing factor with respect to other providers."

TeleCable has a presence in the states of Jalisco, Michoacán, Colima, Querétaro, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Nayarit, Chiapas and Tamaulipas.
