Integrated IP video solutions provider Evolution Digital has signed a deal with Vast Broadband to be the full end-to-end IP video platform provider for its application-based video offering.
As Vast migrates to IP video delivery with Evolution Digital's eVUE-TV content delivery platform, the app will feature over 300 linear channels, VOD, network DVR, pay-per-view and catch-up/start-over content on the operator-customisable eMERGE user experience. The streaming service will be available to more than 57,000 residential and business customers in the US.
Vast's IP video delivery solution will be available to customers on Evolution Digital's managed eSTREAM 4K, powered by Android TV, as well as retail devices including Roku, Apple TV, iOS and Android mobile.
“Our team is incredibly excited to announce a new customer of our end-to-end IP video solution,” said Marc Cohen, EVP of sales and marketing at Evolution Digital. “We look forward to working with Vast in revamping its video platform with the transition to app-based video delivery on the devices that consumers love inside and outside the home. We will ensure that Vast customers are getting the best entertainment technology available in the pay-TV space, and are eager to build upon that innovation for years to come.”
Vast CEO Jim Gleason added: “After careful consideration of the options available to us in the marketplace, we chose Evolution Digital as our trusted IPTV partner to lead our business and customers into the next generation of streaming content across the most popular managed and retail devices. Evolution Digital's eVUE-TV and eMERGE offerings allow us to cost-effectively make the transition to IP with the aggregation of high-value IP content. We are excited for our customers to check the app out later this year.”
