Myrio pushes video to the mass market

ATLANTA--Video on demand is ready for the masses. This week, Myrio announced partnerships with Equator Technologies and SecureMedia to address content security and bandwidth management issues surrounding entertainment on demand, said Robert Manne, president and CEO of Myrio.

In July, Myrio will introduce the second version of its software platform, the result of the company’s alliances with Equator and SecureMedia. 

“We have broken down the barrier to mass deployment of entertainment on demand,” Manne said. 

Most video-on-demand offerings lack hardware interoperability, security capabilities and fail to cost effectively use existing infrastructure, Manne said. Myrio’s solution enables providers to deliver interactive TV, entertainment on demand and high-speed Internet access to the TV and IP networks. It can be software upgraded, he added. 

The system also can support entertainment services over today’s DSL networks, said John O’Donnell, co-founder and chief technology officer of Equator. 

Equator is providing the broadband signal processor. SecureMedia is providing an end-to-end security system that boosts the protection of MPEG streams and video applications. 

“We’ll now have an end-to-end offering for providers to offer content,” Manne said.
