Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced the successful deployment of its MediaScale™ Content Distribution solution with NOS, the largest communications and entertainment group in Portugal. In 2016, Vecima and NOS embarked on a multi-year project to transform the video entertainment experience for viewers in Portugal.
NOS has deployed Vecima’s MediaScale Storage through Satcab, Vecima’s reseller in Portugal. It can expand capacity while servicing a diverse client device ecosystem, including IP-enabled set-top boxes, smartphones, tablets, and other streaming devices.
NOS has deployed a multi-tiered storage platform enabling optimized video delivery while keeping costs under control. Using Common Media Application Format (CMAF)-compliant storage, the MediaScale solution allows for a single content asset to be stored, which can then be used for both ABR and QAM-based delivery, with no duplication of content for different delivery protocols. In addition, Just-in-Time Packaging (JITP) enables streaming in both Apple HLS and MPEG-DASH ABR formats, optimizing storage capacity even further by avoiding content storage duplication once again.
“The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the UEFA European Football Championship were shining moments for NOS’ SPORT TV video experience,” said Pedro Marques, Head of OTT & Media Services for NOS. “With Vecima’s MediaScale platform, NOS delivered one of the most exciting sporting events to our subscribers with maximum stability, quality, and efficiency.”
“Vecima and NOS have set the standard for live video streaming in Portugal,” said Martin Jahn, Chief Executive Officer, Satcab. “Viewers can count on NOS for their favorite programming and live sports, and NOS can count on Vecima for innovative video solutions that take its business forward.”
“NOS continues to lead the industry in delivering the ultimate viewing experience,” said John Ruwe, Vice President of EMEA Sales at Vecima. “We’re proud to support NOS in driving the future of TV.”
