Today at the HITEC 2012 technology conference, Smith
Micro Software, Inc. and Allin
Interactive announced the integration of Smith Micro’s mobile video
technology, VIDIO™, into the Allin DigiMix™ interactive platform. After
a successful launch of VIDIO as part of Allin’s platform in the cruise
ship industry in late 2011, Allin is bringing Smith Micro’s VIDIO
product “shoreside” to serve the needs of the hospitality industry.
As an integral element of Allin’s DigiMix platform, Smith Micro’s VIDIO
solution simplifies the process of delivering mobile video through the
use of an integrated platform for dynamic transcoding and adaptive
streaming over wireless networks. The result is that Allin DigiHD™ ITV
and DigiMobile™ users enjoy a high quality mobile video experience from
any video-capable ITV, smartphone, or tablet device.
“The cruise line and hospitality markets are rapidly changing and our
customers require guest-facing platforms that offer a high-quality
mobile video viewing experience, no matter what device guests are using
to access content,” said John Troutwine, Senior Vice-President, Business
Development at Allin Interactive. “Smith Micro Software achieves our
primary video objective, which is to support all IPTV and mobile devices
in a single solution, without the need to ingest multiple formats of any
particular video. By adding VIDIO to our DigiMix™ platform, we are now
able to offer our customers and their guests advanced technology while
creating the most efficient back-office environment for staff.”
“We are excited to help Allin provide their clients with high quality,
on-demand television content while simultaneously streaming mobile video
to smartphones and tablets via Wi-Fi,” said Jim
Mains, Senior Vice President of Global Products and Programs, Smith
Micro Software. “Recent consumer survey results demonstrate that mobile
access to video entertainment is a natural extension of the interactive
experience that guests desire while traveling for business or pleasure,
and we are pleased to announce that this experience is now available for
the hospitality industry.”
VIDIO
is the most comprehensive delivery platform for broadcasting both live
and on-demand content to the web or any web-enabled device, as well as
set-top boxes. Rights-free content can be streamed to more than 15,000
device models with no client software required. For rights-managed
content, VIDIO offers integrated Digital Rights Management capabilities.
VIDIO is a component of Smith Micro’s Mobile Experience platform that
helps Mobile Operators, Device Manufacturers and Enterprises simplify
and enhance the mobile experience while optimizing network and device
resources.
