TVN Strengthens Digital Offerings with Video-On-Demand
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 1999-- Concurrent Computer Corporation
(NASDAQ:CCUR - news) announced today that that its XSTREME Division will be working with
TVN Entertainment Corporation to enhance its interactive Video-On-Demand (VOD) offerings with
a broad range of video content.
The result of this alliance provides the CATV operator with a total VOD solution including video
content, content management and delivery, video servers, and fully integrated BackOffice Software.
Concurrent is working closely with TVN in order to take advantage of TVN's platform- independent
distribution architecture thus insuring seamless system integration. The strategic relationship between
TVN and Concurrent will benefit the cable operator. It will now be a manageable task for local
system operators to schedule, download, and monitor their VOD product offerings without the
burden of integrating several video products on their own.
MediaHawk(tm) Video Servers incorporate Concurrent's innovative system architecture and
provide scalable performance capable of delivering thousands of simultaneous digital video streams.
Each stream delivered by the MediaHawk is completely independent and interactive. Users are able
to select, play, backup, fastforward, and pause each digital video stream independently with prompt
and predictable response times. Furthermore, these video streams are delivered with no degradation
to performance or video quality regardless of the number of digital video streams concurrently
supported.
Stuart Z. Levin, Chairman and CEO, TVN Entertainment Corporation, stated, ''We are pleased to
be working with Concurrent Computer Corporation on this VOD integration project. TVN is
committed to be the premier supplier of video content and content delivery services in the CATV
industry.''
''Concurrent is dedicated to providing CATV operators with a complete package of products and
services for their VOD offerings. TVN's commitment to provide video content and satellite delivery
completes the end-to-end VOD solution,'' said Steve Nussrallah, President XSTREME Division,
Concurrent Computer Corporation.
