Envivio
Delivers
Complete
DTH
'Headend
in
the
Sky'
for
Red
Intercable
in
Argentina
August
4,
2010
Envivio
has
delivered
a
complete
DTH
video
headend
as
part
of
the
"Headend
in
the
Sky"
project
of
Argentina's
Red
Intercable,
a
leading
video
service
provider
and
content
aggregator
servicing
more
than
240
cable
operators
in
Argentina.
The
project
features
end-to-end
integration
by
Envivio
and
has
enabled
Red
Intercable
to
augment
its
existing
cable
services
by
blanketing
the
entire
country
with
high
fidelity
HD
and
SD
TV
and
on
demand
services
delivered
via
satellite.
Installed
at
Red
Intercable's
operations
center
in
Buenos
Aires,
Argentina,
the
all
IP-based
headend
combines
32
SD
channels
and
32
HD
channels
encoded
by
Envivio
4Caster™
C42
using
the
Envivio
Extreme
codec
to
ensure
the
highest
quality
video
is
delivered
using
the
least
possible
bandwidth:
less
than
1.6
Mbps
for
SD
content
and
4
Mbps
for
HD
programming.
Envivio
also
provided
its
4Manager
video
headend
management
system,
ASI-IP
interfaces,
routing,
and
integration
with
Red
Intercable's
transponder.
"The
addition
of
the
Envivio
video
headend
has
enabled
us
to
immediately
begin
delivering
the
most
desirable
programming,
like
the
2010
FIFA
World
Cup,
to
millions
of
customers
who
don't
have
access
to
our
cable
system,"
said
Jose
Toledo,
president
of
Red
Intercable,
SA.
"Most
importantly,
we
are
able
to
provide
rural
customers
with
levels
of
video
quality
that
have
never
before
been
available
to
them.
Now
we
can
bring
the
very
best
service
to
everyone."
Envivio
headend
solutions
provide
satellite
TV
operators
with
the
flexibility
and
capability
they
need
to
compete
in
an
increasingly
diverse
marketplace.
Advanced
compression
liberates
bandwidth,
enabling
operators
to
increase
the
variety
of
HD
and
SD
channels
they
deliver
over
their
existing
network
infrastructure.
Envivio
Convergence
headends
are
a
solid
foundation
for
expansion,
providing
support
for
delivery
of
high
quality
video
to
mobile
phone
and
Internet-connected
devices.
The
complete
Envivio
solution
was
introduced
and
installed
at
Red
Intercable
by
AVS
of
Buenos
Aires.
"With
our
Convergence
headends,
Envivio
eliminates
the
barrier
of
limited
bandwidth,
allowing
content
providers
to
deliver
to
more
subscribers
a
great
TV
viewing
experience,"
said
Boris
Felts,
Envivio
vice
president
of
marketing.
"Red
Intercable's
new
DTH
service
perfectly
demonstrates
how
Envivio
solutions
can
be
applied
to
any
delivery
platform
to
optimize
the
use
of
available
bandwidth
and
create
new
opportunities
for
service
providers."
