Anevia IPTV System Chosen For French TV Regulator

Anevia Enterprise has announced that the company's VOD and IPTV solutions have been chosen as the core of a new system integrated into Avistel's AviSMART system for the French TV, radio and multimedia regulator, Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel (CSA).

Anevia products combined with the Avistel AviSMART gives French TV regulation staff the technical capabilities needed to access over 180 television channels via IP from terrestrial, satellite, cable and internet sources on more than 110 devices.
"A vital element of this project was the need for reliability and flexibility of the system for our ongoing monitoring activity which often requires adding new channels," comments the CSA's Project Manager, Department of Information Systems, Julien Deschamps. "Equally important was the need for an inherently intuitive system which our staff could learn to operate quickly without need for lengthy training.
"Anevia's technology running within the Avistel AVISMART system has enabled both objectives to be achieved with great efficiency. It also means we now have a system which can be expanded easily if we are called on to upscale our activity in the future."
"The system was installed by our Now Be One division," adds Avistel's Technical Director, Johan Rauscher. "Anevia's Flamingo XL (DVB to IP) and Flamingo 400H (HDMI to IP) gateways plus Toucan video-on-demand software were chosen for their reliability, ease of operation and compactness.
"Other factors influencing the choice were Flamingo's web-friendly control interface and the ability to pool multiple CAM modules on a single input.
The inherent efficiency of Anevia's VOD and IPTV products enabled us to achieve this in just five days."
"We are very pleased to have worked with Avistel on such a high-profile national project at the CSA's Paris headquarters," says Anevia CTO Damien Lucas.
"The CSA plays a very important supervisory role in safeguarding French broadcasters, and media creatives. Beyond the technical aspects, Avistel and Anevia have built up a relationship of trust and partnership over nearly 10 years."
Anevia's Flamingo is a modular family of IPTV head-ends. Flamingo captures live TV and radio content from satellite, cable and digital terrestrial, and streams it over IP networks to set-top boxes, PCs and other IP-connected devices. It can deliver hundreds of streams from a single box. Modular hardware design makes the head-ends scalable to meet business growth.
