Indian DTH pay TV operator DishTV has tapped technology outfit MediaKind – formerly Ericsson Media Solutions – to provide its AVP 4000 video processing platform to deliver content to DishTV’s over 23.5 million subscribers.
The AVP 4000 video processing platform exists within MediaKind’s Aquila family of solutions, which forms part of the wider MediaKind Universe portfolio.
According to MediaKind, DishTV has selected its to replace its entire headend infrastructure, which includes existing legacy technology from its D2H brand.
DishTV will operate MediaKind’s compression headend technology to deliver both traditional broadcast and multiscreen video from a single platform. That platform, which includes MediaKind’s AVP 4000 System Encoder, allows the operator to serve satellite operations for both of its brands, unifying the control and management of its two headends.
