LAS VEGAS – Rogers Communications will be one of the first service providers to use Cisco’s Videoscape TV platform to deliver their next-generation video services.
Videoscape, unveiled Tuesday at the Consumer Electronics Show, brings together digital TV and on-line video content with social media and communications applications. New ‘video in the cloud’ services are billed as new revenue streams for service providers and new video entertainment experiences for consumers.
Cisco said that Videoscape is designed as an open software-based platform that provides a migration path to an all IP-based video infrastructure, with cloud, network and client components working together to allow video experiences to move, pause and resume across a range of managed and unmanaged IP devices in and out of the home. This new technology will allow service providers to offer complete ‘Any Screen TV’ capabilities that deliver live video and on-demand video experiences not only to PCs and Macs, but also across iPads, iPhones, and Android devices.
