PeerTV announces first order for new H265 HEVC set top boxes
PeerTV, the TV over the internet (OTT) technology solutions provider selling to ISPs, ethnic TV service providers, content providers and cable operators announced today that it had received a first order for up to 20,000 of its latest quad core High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard set top boxes from Russian specialist pay per view TV operator Kartina in a deal expected to be worth approximately $1,200,000.
The company successfully demonstrated the new set top boxes at IBC in Amsterdam last week.
The new technology will mean content can be streamed using 50% of the bandwidth previously required for H264 technology. Significant enhancements to transmission quality have also been achieved.
Kartina and PeerTV will now work jointly on a plan to adapt the STBs to meet the requirements of Kartina’s platform. The last time PeerTV and Kartina embarked upon a similar programme of development and testing, Kartina reported customer feedback and results exceeded expectations.
PeerTV CEO Avi Vermus comments, “We are delighted by this vote of confidence in our latest quad core H265 set top box. We will now begin developing and testing this to meet Kartina’s individual requirements. This additional order marks an important step in the development of our OTT TV business and our ability to deliver solutions to Telcos and TV companies wishing to enter the OTT space.”
PeerTV was one of the first companies in the market to launch an Android based set top box bringing together the advantages of the Android operating system, apps and a quick and smooth user experience to enable TV and web viewing via a single unit.
