Media Solutions at a Glance

MediaPortal Hybrid Entertainment Solution
MediaPoint Broadband Entertainment Solution

Movies: Video-On-Demand (VOD)

Browse through thousands of available titles by genre, title, actor, or keyword search. DVD-quality movies can be purchased and downloaded over the broadband connection, directly from the TV set. Subscribers can start watching in a matter of minutes with familiar DVD-style playback controls (4-speed forward and reverse, pause, slow motion, etc.). Video viewing options are customizable according to your offering, whether a la carte or subscription-based rentals.

Online Video: Content Channels

Offer subscribers the entertaining content they want from the Web, optimized for the television. Partner content is organized into channels, easily navigable from within the service provider’s branded interface, increasing subscriber stickiness and affinity for the provider’s brand.

Music: Broadband Services

Subscribers can listen to streaming radio and watch the latest music videos on demand. Enable subscribers to purchase and download music legally and securely with just a press of the remote by integrating partner online content stores directly within the provider-branded user interface.

Personal Content: Discover and Enjoy

Video, photo, and music files stored on any network-connected PC in the home can be accessed directly from the television set using the Discover application. Discover utilizes DLNA technology such as UPnP AV to automatically search for and display local network-based content. Subscribers can also do more with their content than merely view it – integrated Web services enable photo-sharing and more.
