Business Wire
TV on the Internet Company, Narrowstep (OTCBB:NRWS) will launch its
end-to-end IPTV system in partnership with set top box manufacturer
Amino Communications at IBC 2006. The alliance of Narrowstep's
sophisticated Television Operating System (telvOS(TM)) with Amino's
set top box, will enable IPTV channels to be delivered to
consumers' traditional TV screens. The IPTV 'in a box' system will
sit alongside and complement existing established broadcasting
systems such as satellite or cable by giving access to any of
Narrowstep's 120 channels including cycling.tv, Martial Arts
Channel, ITV local and London TV. Video content can be made
available in linear schedules, via a search function, live and
on-demand to meet the viewing requirements of all end-users. The
easy to use Electronic Programming Guide will enable easy real time
management of IPTV for channel operators, and offers built-in
commercial models such as subscription, pay-per-view and dynamic
one-to-one advertising, to IPTV channel owners. "The combination of
Narrowstep and Amino technologies provides a low cost end-to-end
IPTV solution that can be deployed rapidly," comments Iolo Jones,
founder and Chief Strategic Officer of Narrowstep. "As well as
appealing to ISPs and network providers wishing to launch their own
branded TV services, it will enable broadcasters and content owners
to directly distribute their own channels, cutting out the need to
work through traditional distributors. We wanted to build on the
'best of IBC' award we won last year and where better to launch our
new offering than IBC 2006. For the first time, individual channels
will be able to launch a real 'TV station in a box' solution." The
new system will be demonstrated for the first time on Amino's stand
at IBC 2006 at 3:30pm on Friday, 8th September in Hall 5, Stand
238.
